THE WAR.

In 1918 the fsderalists opposed the war.
and called to their aid the federal clergy
and religious societies Anathemns most
loud and bitter came from the pulpit. Al
ready the same spirit has become awakened,
and we find religious societies uttering SEM
timents which may be fairly contrasted with
like class in 1913.
As an item of news to our readers, we
publish the following pronu,,ciamienso ofthe
Presbytery Of Buffalo, adopted at its SEES
sions at the North Presbyterian Church in
this city last week. While we are no advo-
cate for war, as such, we cannot but regard
any such interference Of religious bodies
with regret, to use no hsrsher languages.
Such sentiments as those inculcatcd below.
cannot find many;adyocates,w we should think,
till the men Of the Revolution are forgotten:
8'fThat while we are an ecclesiastical boz
dy reprobate and disclaim all interterence
and connivance with political partizanship
as such. we claim it as not only our right,
but deem it our incumbent duty imposed
| upon US by our position to the Christian
public, to raise the alarm against any crying
sin, or moral evil, which we apprehend will
bring down upon US the righteous judgment
I Of Heaven, and to recommend prayer and
effort for the atonement of such evils .1E

unhappiy engaged, rs an evil no ordina.
ry character, and we recommend to all, and
enjoin upon all who profess to be actuased
by the peaceable and loving spirit Of our di-'
vine Lord and Master. that BY prayer To-
| God, and proper means, among men, they
exert whatever influence they may possess,
to bring to speedy termination this eulpa-i
Bile effusion Of human blood and perpctra-
ton Of anarchy and misery.
