LawfuIness OF War for Christians, Exam
ined.
The principle of nonresistance, leads to
obedience to magiStracy, in all cases where
man can justify his conscience in the
sight of God: further than this, no pow.
er on earth can be just in exacting it; nor
any true follower Of the Savior, justified
in yielding it. When governments inter-
fere with the religious rights of subjects,
and bind their consciences; then chris
tians are to endure any sutferings rather
than by complying with the laws of men,
violate their higher and supreme obIiga-
tions to the eternal God Thus by an in
vincible adherence to the doctrines and ex-
ample of Christ, will de manifested, the
power and exceIIency of those principles
which induced them patiently and meekly
to submit to the greatest sufferings, rather
than commit the least evil.
am aware that the apostle Paul's rec
ommendation Of sub lection to rulers, to
principalities and powers, is by some
brought to prove that when rulers COM
mand to war, subjects must obey. But
Paul says, rulers are not a terror to good
works, but to evil doors. thrust these ad-
vocates for implicit obedience, will readily
allow, that obedience to the dictates of con-
science, is not an evil; and, therefore, up
on PauPs principles, not punishable.
Magistrates commanding what conscience
forbids, is the only ground upon which
christians ought to refuse an active COM
pliance and while | wish all due subiec-
ton shown to rulers, l also wish, that
christians may meek y, yet manfully sup
port the dignity of the christian character,
in obeying God rather than man; and if
sufferings are the consequence, patiently
endure them.
To admit the idea of implicit obedience
to magistracy, without regard to con-
science, is to condemn the prophet Dan
iel, and those three Israelites who were
cast into the lions den for not obevinq the
kings decree; as well as the holy mar
tyrs, for not relinquishing their faith at
the command Of princes. But Paups rec
ord of his own sufftrings and imprison-
men: for conscience sake, sets aside the
plea for implicit obedience. He also de-
fines the christians weapons of warfare in
his time, and of course in every succee-
ding time, to be "not carnal, but mighty
through God, to the bringing into captivi-
ty every thought to the obedience of
Christ" CarnaI and spiritual wea pons
will no more unite under the gospel dis
pensation, than iron and clay.
But who can avoid being shocked. at
beholding some oftkose who undertake to
instruct others in the doctrines of the Cos
pei, accompanying an army. and stim1la-
ting those who rely on them for saving in
struction, to deeds, at the bare mention of
which. the heart of humanity recoils and
which ill their unhappy country with
widows and orphans Who can think Of
these things without dreading the awful ef.

fects of such an apostacy from religion,
that never did, nor ever will breathe any
thing different from peace on earth, and
good will toward men.
Now, let US figure to ourselves two ar
mics of protesting christians engaged in
battle; and one of these professedy pious
instructors in each, and both at the same
time praying for the success of their re-
spective armies and, las is natural to sup
pose,) that every bullet may do execution,
if conquest cannot be obtained without !:
would not such prayers be an abomination
in the sight ofthe divine Majesty2
Among the serious evils of war, is one
which seems to be little thought of, or re-
garded: that is, the thousands of young
men, born into this world, that they may
be born again of God, and become his
sons, and fellow heirs with Christ; who
are robbed of the precious gift of life be-
fore age and experience have ripened
their jud gments for usefulness and perad-
venture. before they have known that obe-
dience to the influence of Gods spirit in
their hearts, which is an indispensable
qualification to die the death of the right
eous; but have been forced or tempted, in
the ardor of youth, and strength of sinful
passions, to rush on to kill or be killed
with furious haste, apparently forgetting
God, eternity and their souls.

Extract OF sermon delivered in Troy, Ohio, by
B. Fowler.
War is an obstacle to the comino Of
Christs kingdom, and sin.
What OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES wailinps and
sore distress has it wrought! No one will
suspect Edmund Burke of exaggeration,
but the testimony of this great man isI
" war is the matter which fills all historv :.
all empires have been cemented with blood,
II Is an ncontestlble truth, that there is more
havoc made IN one year bu men. of men
Than has been made by all the lions, tigers,
Planners, ounces, !eopards, hyenas, rhi,
noceroses, elephants, bears and wolves, upon
their several species, since the beginning of
the world" Could you set down and count
the millions that have fallen in war conId
you take your stand on some battle ground
where civilized nations have met and call
up the dead that have fallen, and witness
their stripes and wounds and meanings and
blasphemles, you would be ready to exclaim,
surely this is the very slaughter house of
hell.
Little, very little good on the whole has
resulted from all the blood that has been
split. War and conquest have been but a
transfer OF oppression and cruelty. But
wal mus Cedse' not ny lortlhcatlon or high
walls, or brazen gates, or armies, or navies;
but by virtue of that principle which is con-
tanned in these words-Thou shalt not kill ::
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as myself
Take the simple principle, peace, and
abide by it. Show to the world the sin OF
war, as you do the sin of intemperance,
Let it appear sin. Give to the principle
of peace the power which voluntary asso-
citation can give it; rely on God for the
defence OF all that is good-on the principles
created and established in heaven.-then
may we hope that this evil will eventually
be staid -then there will be a revolution
of principles: the spirit of war will be dead :;
and then may ploughshares be beaten into
pruning hooks, and the way for Christ's
kingdom prepared.

POTATOES,

And as l have an opportunity will
send you the results of an experiment
which | made in planting potatoes, in
1885, to which, if you think it will be of
USE you can give place in your paper.
l had ever supposed that the seed end OF
me potatoe was nearl Y all that was vaIua-
bic for planting; but the result ofmv ex-
pertinent was the reverse of this. had
supposed supp that small ones We're nearly as
good as large ones; but from experience
am convinced that it is mistake,
| planted one row of seed-ends. two in
hill, one, with one in a hill: one. with
two smalllsh potatoes, about as large as
mems eggs, in hill; one, with one root
end, in hill; and one, with one laroe No.
ta'oe IN hill. Of these five rows the
last two exceeded the rest, by more THIN
all the seed that was planted in them-tba
last OF the two exceeding the other.
AS it Isl time when people feed moth
toes to cattle, would recommend to Sd
lect the largest and preserve them till sen
time. And one thing more,-see to i
tnat you have some of the best kiuds Of
potatoes; for the potatoe is an imnort.o+
crop in these cold seasons. ''''''
