The new President's creed may be called the “New Covenant”. It is a solemn agreement between the people and their government based not simply on what each can take, but on what all must give. It offers opportunity even as it demands responsibility. (……………………………………………………………………………………….. .)

We have engineered cars, therefore, with engines whose performance reduces fuel consumption and emissions. That is also why we now construct cars with more and more recyclable and non-polluting materials. And we dampen the sound caused by incoming air and outgoing exhaust. We also build our engines with special components to insure that our cars leave only a minimum of noise in their path.

A. Sight or feeling conveys an idea of the actual motion of bodies; but as to that wonderful force or power, which would carry on a moving body for ever in a continued change of place, and which bodies never lose, but by communicating it to others; of this we cannot form the most distant conception.B. But notwithstanding this ignorance of natural powers and principles, we always presume, when we see like sensible qualities, that they have like secret powers, and expect that effects, similar to those which we have experienced, will follow from them. C. It must certainly be allowed, that nature has kept us at a great distance from all her secrets, and has afforded us only the knowledge of a few superficial qualities of objects; while she conceals from us those powers and principles on which the influence of those objects entirely depends. D. This is a process of the mind or thought, of which one could willingly know the foundation.

A. Humanity does not yet say, I am God: such a usurpation would shock its piety. B. In the days of the patriarchs God made an alliance with man; now, to strengthen the compact, God is to become a man. C. Then, after this humiliation of the infinite, man will still pretend that he has elevated the ideal of his God in making, by a logical conversion, him whom he had always called creator, a saviour, a redeemer. D. He will take on our flesh, our form, our passions, our joys, and our sorrows; will be born of woman, and die as we do. E. In making himself like God, man made God like himself: this correlation, which for many centuries had been execrated, was the secret spring which determined the new myth.

A. The migrations of mankind from that original home cannot be intelligently mapped until that home has been discovered, and, further, until the geology of the globe is so thoroughly known that the different phases of its geography can be presented; and these must be settled upon purely geologic and paleontological evidence. B. Since that time, the surface of the earth has undergone many and important changes. C. If we accept the conclusion that there is but one species of man, we may reasonably conclude that the species has been dispersed from some common centre; but this original home has not yet been ascertained with certainty. D. All known camp and village sites, graves, mounds, and ruins belong to that portion of geologic time known as the present epoch, and are entirely subsequent to the period of the original dispersion as shown by geologic evidence. E. The dispersion of man must have been anterior to the development of any but the rudest arts.

A. During the first twelve hours, the minute vessels in the vicinity of the wound dilate, and from them lymph exudes and leucocytes migrate into the tissues. B. When a wound is made in the integument under aseptic conditions, the passage of the knife through the tissues is immediately followed by an oozing of blood, which soon coagulates on the cut surfaces. C. In each of the divided vessels, a clot forms, and extends as far as the nearest collateral branch; and on the surface of the wound, there is a microscopic layer of bruised and devitalised tissue. D. If the wound is closed, the narrow space between its edges is occupied by a blood-clot, which consists of red and white corpuscles mixed with a quantity of fibrin, and this forms a temporary uniting medium between the divided surfaces.

A. Every one will readily allow that there is a considerable difference between the perceptions of the mind, when a man feels the pain of excessive heat, or the pleasure of moderate warmth, and when he afterwards recalls to his memory this sensation, or anticipates it by his imagination. B. The utmost we say of them, even when they operate with greatest vigour, is, that they represent their object in so lively a manner, that we could almost say we feel or see it. C. These faculties may mimic or copy the perceptions of the senses; but they never can entirely reach the force and vivacity of the original sentiment. D. But, except the mind be disordered by disease or madness, they never can arrive at such a pitch of vivacity, as to render these perceptions altogether undistinguishable. E. All the colours of poetry, however splendid, can never paint natural objects in such a manner as to make the description be taken for a real landskip. F. The most lively thought is still inferior to the dullest sensation.

A. Some naturalists have maintained that all variations are connected with the act of sexual reproduction; but this is certainly an error; that is, of plants which have suddenly produced a single bud with a new and sometimes widely different character from that of the other buds on the same plant.B. As buds on distinct trees, growing under different conditions, have sometimes yielded nearly the same variety, we clearly see that the nature of the conditions is of subordinate importance in comparison with the nature of the organism in determining each particular form of variation. C. They occur rarely under nature, but are far from rare under culture. D. As a single bud out of many thousands produced year after year on the same tree under uniform conditions, has been known suddenly to assume a new character. E. These bud variations, as they may be named, can be propagated by grafts, offsets, etc. and sometimes by seed.

A. The cathedral builders excelled all others in the artfulness with which they established and maintained a relation between their architecture and the stature of a man. B. This is perhaps one reason why the French and English cathedrals, even those of moderate dimensions are more truly impressive than even the largest of the great Renaissance structures, such as St. Peter's in Rome. C. That architecture is not necessarily the most awe-inspiring which gives the impression of having been built by giants for the abode of pigmies; like the other arts, architecture is highest when it is most human. D. The medieval builders, true to this dictum, employed stones of a size proportionate to the strength of a man working without unusual mechanical aids E. A gigantic order furnishes no true measure for the eye: its vastness is revealed only by the accident of some human presence which forms a basis of comparison.
