A conscientious man would be cautious how he dealt in blood, he would feel some apprehension at being called to a tremendous account for engaging in so deep a play, without any sort of knowledge of the game. It is no excuse for presumptuous ignorance, that it is directed by insolent passion. The poorest being that crawls on earth, contending to save itself from injustice and oppression, is an object respectable in the eyes of God and man. But I cannot conceive any existence under heaven (which, in the depths of its wisdom, tolerates all sorts of things), that is more truly odious and disgusting, than an impotent, helpless creature, without civil wisdom or military skill, without a consciousness of any other qualification for power but his servility to it, bloated with pride and arrogance, calling for battles which he is not to fight, contending for a violent dominion which he can never exercise, and satisfied to be himself mean and miserable, in order to render others contemptible and wretched. . . .

Following last week's unrest, China is sending thousands of security forces into Tibet and surrounding provinces. As Chinese troops conduct intrusive house-to-house searches, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, meeting with the Dalai Lama in India, calls the crisis a challenge to the conscience of the world.

Let man?s soul be a sphere, and then, in this,
Th? intelligence that moves, devotion is ;
And as the other spheres, by being grown
Subject to foreign motion, lose their own,
And being by others hurried every day,
Scarce in a year their natural form obey ;
Pleasure or business, so, our souls admit
For their first mover, and are whirl?d by it.
Hence is?t, that I am carried towards the west,
This day, when my soul?s form bends to the East.
There I should see a Sun by rising set,
And by that setting endless day beget.
But that Christ on His cross did rise and fall,
Sin had eternally benighted all.
Yet dare I almost be glad, I do not see
That spectacle of too much weight for me.
Who sees Gods face, that is self-life, must die ;
What a death were it then to see God die ?
It made His own lieutenant, Nature, shrink,
It made His footstool crack, and the sun wink.
Could I behold those hands, which span the poles
And tune all spheres at once, pierced with those holes ?
Could I behold that endless height, which is
Zenith to us and our antipodes,
Humbled below us ? or that blood, which is
The seat of all our soul?s, if not of His,
Made dirt of dust, or that flesh which was worn
By God for His apparel, ragg?d and torn ?
If on these things I durst not look, durst I
On His distressed Mother cast mine eye,
Who was God?s partner here, and furnish?d thus
Half of that sacrifice which ransom?d us ?
Though these things as I ride be from mine eye,
They?re present yet unto my memory,
For that looks towards them ; and Thou look?st towards me,
O Saviour, as Thou hang?st upon the tree.
I turn my back to thee but to receive
Corrections till Thy mercies bid Thee leave.
O think me worth Thine anger, punish me,
Burn off my rust, and my deformity ;
Restore Thine image, so much, by Thy grace,
That Thou mayst know me, and I?ll turn my face. . . .

Taiwan voters go to the polls Saturday to elect a new president, and recent unrest in Tibet may have helped the underdog in Taiwan's election. Also on the ballot is a referendum on whether the island should seek U.N. membership independent of China.
