reader, not less than in the sweep of a solar system
through unmeasured space; in every evil, not less
than in every good. Such is my belief. If then
the British power, ruthless, shall complete its
destruction and construction in Tibet, then this
ruthless act shall have demonstrated its necessity
in the general scheme of things. Why preach about
it, then? I do not know why, the ultimate why.
But this preaching is also compelled; it is an effort
toward something desired.
As to the application of adjectives such as
"unjust," "unwarranted," "cruel," "unnatural,"
and the like, to any act of individual or government,
with the seeming intent to condemn, as one con-

been formed chiefly by those who have been made
to believe, among many other errors, that concern-
ing the freedom of the will. The words "sunrise"
and "unnatural" spring equally from erroneous
belief, which it pleased the Power to create. The
sun does not "rise" and nothing is "unnatural."
When the determinist condemns and executes for
murder, his position toward the murderer is this:
"You have been brought to kill a man under such
and such conditions. I have been brought to
believe such an act as directly or indirectly harmful
to me; I have been brought to believe it now to my
interest to kill you. We are both acting under law,
no man or beast can act otherwise." Now if the
determinist stands quite alone in his condemnation
