In the United States, for example, the reputation of ""bourgeois"" has lately started to rise, at least among cultivated people. Thus the stock of words rises and falls through the years. Their histories are our histories; they both reflect and create the prevailing tendencies of consciousness that are the deepest matters in the histories of peoples. In this stock exchange within our minds ""modern"" has been falling, ""bourgeois"" has been rising: a small trend, but probably not without some significance.

In the first place, we must offer him the tribute of our gold, as to our true King; that is, we must daily present him with our souls, stampt with his own image, and burnished with divine love. This is the gold, this is the tribute our Sovereign expects from us. When the Jews asked him concerning their giving tribute to Cæsar, he called for their coin, in which they had the image of Cæsar; and inferred from thence, that they were to render to Cæsar the things that were Cæsar's, (Matt. xxii.) that is, to give him what was stampt with his image. Our souls are stampt with God's own image, to this very end, that we should give them in tribute to him, by perfect love: render then to God the things that are God's; by daily offering your whole souls up to him, by fervent acts of love; and you shall have given him your gold.
