MISCELLANY.
Il testimony against War-No. 5.

2adly. The opinion we have advanced is support
ed by the examples of the primitive christians 1t
appears from authentic Church History that during
the two first centuries after Christ no christians
were found in the armies. Justin, the martyr, who
was put to death about a. d. f63, speaking Of the
prophecy Of Isaiah that we have Just quoted. has
these words That the prophecyis fulfilled"
says he, :" we have good reason to believe for we.
who in times past killed one another, do not now
fight with our enemies" Quoted by Clarkson, vol,
8, page 49, Clemens, OF Aexandra, who lived a
little after this calls the christians peaceable, or
the followers Of peace = and says farther" those
who were the followers oc peace used none Of the
instruments of war" Gbid, p. S7) Irenaeus, and
Others who lived about the same time held and ex.
pressed much the same opinions, and supposed that
the mienninmwas about to take place, because that
the christians of those days refused to fight. Cy-
prian, Bishop of Carthage who suffered martyrdom
A. ID. 261, speaks in the following manner in his
Epistle to Donatus. " Suppose thvself with me
the top ofsome exalted eminence and from thence
looking down upon the appearance Of things be-
meath thee. The things thol wilt principally OBJ
serve will be the highways beset with robbers, the
seas with pirates, encampments, marches, and all
the terrible forms of war and boodshe6. When a
single murder is committed, ii shall he deemed per.
haps a crime; but that crime shall commence
NHiur3 NhtH C0WHHttttu uHuCt cbCitCi ~ Hub-
lie authority, SO that punishment is not rated by
the measure of guilt, but the more enormou:
the size of the wickedness is so much the greater
is the chance for impunty.' (ibid, p. SAL Lac
tantus, who lived some time after says :. IL never
can be lawful for righteous man to 20 to war
whose warfare is righteousness itself" GLid p. 81
Many more such quotations might easily tie made
but these are amply sufficient. These, and the hks
quotations shew their principles, and As christianity
was probably purer in those days than il has siac,
heen, there seems some reason Why we should mi-
tate those early followers Of Jesus.
To be continued
