When God sent the earth into infinite space, he called the man who animated it: “Go! You are appointed to fame: 
I have created you according to my image; but you will not see me face to face, before you fulfil and attain possession of your abilities […]; go, I have opened a sublime life of progress for you; but you cannot go through it alone; fraternize and exchange moral thoughts with all creatures in which you see my image. The way is filled with obstacles: but go! Victory is yours, because I have given you the power of creating and uniting [...]."

.
"I have created you according to MY IMAGE"
.

Then mankind began to search for a country, that could accomodate the philosophy and hypothesis on a far larger scale.

This country is Europe. 

Europe is the lever of the world. Europe is the country of liberty. It is associated with the fate of the world and party to the mission of progressive development which is the law of mankind.

"EUROPE is the lever of the world"

Four thousand years have passed, since the first glimmer of culture in Greece appeared from the rocks of the Caucasus. It was a pale, uncertain light which trembled in the darkness. The spark kidnapped by Prometheus was so weak that it seemed condemned to death. But the family of the Titans which fought against the Asiatic learning, perpetuated itself. The European origins which were propagated by the Hellenics, developed into homogeneous proportions. Today it radiates over Europe; that glimmer became the sun of a culture, and there is no Joshua, who could order it to stop. Since mankind became active in a small province of Greece, each age of history, each century shows the growth of the two principles on which our religion is based.

Mankind progresses.

.
"Mankind PROGRESSES."
.

Each station of the progress was achieved by uniting; but on the other hand no station of the progress was achieved, which would not have willing done so having united the people to their advantage.

Today the theory of  unlimited progress and the unity of Europe – at first the philosophy of few martyrs who were called utopists – have almost become the people’s faith in France, there the disappointments and the events are still not so recent as to take the initiative in European culture. Since Christ set the base model for unity by revealing the principle of equality to humans, since the typography has become a general bond to all those who felt in themselves the requirement of social development, a universal start for the performance of their individual efforts requires  a strong moral belief toward all material. Thus grew the tendency for unity, the longing for the European fraternization obviously and inexorably. The French revolution raised these emotions to the law, to the political principle [...].

.
"French revolution raised these emotions to the LAW."
.

The people fraternized first in the hate, then in love; and whilst the princes who closed a federation of dishonour in defence against the league of free thinkers, thus the people closed theirs.  

The motto was liberty; and when Paris wrote that word on his flag, and by raising it, so that all Europeans saw it, the whole of Europe felt the necessity to become part of it. All Europe pulsed with a new fervour, and free men understood that they would have to shake hands in order to be strong. The European nations came step by step to the meeting place in order to write their names there [...]. 

.
"The motto was ..........................................................................
.

...................................................................... was LIBERTY."
.

And mankind rises more and more by new visions, by accepting new people on its way, overcoming more and more land in Europe and beginning to infiltrate Asia. 

It will be beautiful to have a view on the end of the final day; today we stand at the breach, are pressed by the necessity of time and events to have the lance in the fist. We must fight, we must triumph, and we must decide whether the culture perpetuated by the few is to stop, whether the unity of the people is an illusion or the only means to victory.
