The Spirit in Asia
A spirit moves abroad in the world today upsetting kingdoms and raising up new principalities and powers the workings of which are marked by a swiftness and ubiquity new in history.
In place of the slow developments and uncertain results of the past we have a quickness and thoroughness which destroy in an hour and remould in a decade.
It is noteworthy that these rapid motions are mostly discernible in Asiatic peoples.
