ate with intelligence, that is to say, with
order, arrangement and all blessedness, the Chaotic,
Unintelligent: how, except by educating, _can_ you-accomplish
this? That thought, reflection, articulate utterance and
understanding be awakened in these individual million heads,
which are the atoms of your Chaos: there is no other way of
illuminating any Chaos! The sum-total of intelligence that is
found in it, determines the extent of order that is possible for
your Chaos,--the feasibility and rationality of what your Chaos
will dimly demand from you, and will gladly obey when proposed by
you! It is an exact equation; the one accurately measures the
other.--If the whole English People, during these 'twenty years
of respite,' be not educated, with at least schoolmaster's
educating, a tremendous responsibility, before God and men, will
rest somewhere! How dare any man, especially a man calling
himself minister of God, stand up in any Parliament or place,
under any pretext or delusion, and for a day or an hour forbid
God's Light to come into the world, and bid the Devil's Darkness
continue in it one hour more! For all light and science, under
all shapes, in all degrees of perfection, is of God; all
darkness, nescience, is of the Enemy of God. 'The schoolmaster's
creed is somewhat awry?' Yes, I have found few creeds entirely
correct; few light-beams shining white, pure of admixture: but
of all creeds and religions now or ever before known, was not
that of thoughtless thriftless Animalism, of Distilled Gin, and
Stupor and Despair, unspeakably the least orthodox? We will
exchange it even with Paganism, with Fetishism; and, on the
whole, must exchange it with something.

An effective 'Teaching Service' I do consider that there must be;
some Education Secretary, Captain-General of Teachers, who will
actually contrive to get us _taught._ Then again, why should
there not be an 'Emigration Service,' and Secretary, with
adjuncts, with funds, forces, idle Navy-ships, and ever-
increasing apparatus; in fine an _effective system_ of
Emigration; so that, at length, before our twenty years of
respite ended, every honest willing Workman who found England too
strait, and the 'Organisation of Labour' not yet sufficiently
advanced, might find likewise a bridge built to carry him into
new Western Lands, there to 'organise' with more elbow-room some
labour for himself? There to be a real blessing, raising new
corn for us,
