He dwelt briefly on the earlier -V; ") idea of history nnd showed how the old j H ; , '! notion that the kh'.g was the great tf .( ! mover of ail wars and the originator C 1 1 I, of all social movements was gradually $ 1 el. b?ln replaced by the Idee that the peo- f ' i r Pie and great social necessities wen' th (.If I impelling motives behind the spectucu- A ' i, 'Jj I lar monarch. , ' W il "e Pointed out how geography, or j " natural environments, Inlluenced people P I , a"" brought about differences in indus- Yt I ' ,tr"' trade, politics and religion, whle'i If , led to great social upheavals and even HI 1) , "ar- ,T1e speaker clearly illustrated lit .

') Jn the Civil war we find two environments en-vironments in conflict. In respect to , . geographical conditions the North and J. , lne South stand out in absolute contrast, con-trast, and since the geography of' a 2 J '! country reflects Itself in every Institu- U th ' t'on thit It fosters, wo find two oppo- ' ' 'J site and almost intolerable envlron- 'K' , ' ments growing up In the North -and 1 !, South at tho same time. The men were : , ' , t not individually responsible for the ; , , sroat conflict, they only represented L f . great social forces. The North had A r great economical advantages which the ' J South, ivlth all her. gallantry, couldn't ,j withstand, and her final defeat was an i inevitable result." W , , 1 ; During the course of his lecture Dr. i I, I i i; vlpcont made the following Interesting ! statement: "Why did slavery fail In tho h f I Nortb and succeed !n the South? Slm- il ,' I Ply because slavery didn't pay economi- , cally In the North and it seemed to In .( I" .' ! tne South. If slavery had been as eco- I't" t I?mi.ca,11Jr Prontable in the North as In f ! the South, slavery would probably have . , ; been an Institution In the United States u,i , today.
