Hymn for the Times.

Not to the battle field
We hnppy children come
But to the house of prayer and praise
The Christians peaceful home.
No drums awakening sound,
Nor trumpet calls TO arms;
The songs of Zion here we sing
Far from dread wars alarms.
Our banner is the cross,
Our enemy is sin;
Our Captain is the Prince oil Peace,
And glory we shall win.
Amid these sacred scenes,
Let unity be found;
Within our little palaces
Prosperity abound.
Soon may the Gospel breathe
Its peaceful spirit far;
And every nation rise, and say,
No more shall there be war
Glory TO God on high,
And peace on earth again;
All hearts and voices join the prayer,
And we will cry, Amen.

this sharp parallcl, in the case of Rev. Dr.

himself friend to the North in the present
conflict ould he have been permitted, think
you, before taking himself off," to preach a

considered himself fortunate if he escaped a
coat Of tar and feathers, or even hanging, at
the hands of the Committee of Vigilance
But Dr.. Hoge, at the very hour when thous-

there was cry of anguish and sorrow for hus-

Hoge was changing congratulations with his

The message Of President Lincoln had been
variously received by the English press.
The London Times thinks Southern indie
pendence will be the issue of the contest.
LONDON, July 20.-The London journals
criticise Mr. Lincoln's message.
The T.aes says it altogether confirms the
impression produced by the first message and
fears that he has outweighed all the CHARGES
of internecine war, and foresees as bystand-
er that the recognition of Southern inoepen-
dence is the issue in which, after infinite loss
and humiliation, the contest must result.
The London Pilot says at this date it is
idle to argue the question OF legal rights 1t
is for the Government to put down resistances
as soon as possible. 1t predicts an obstinate
and sanguinary struggle, and while protesting
personal sympathy for the opponents of sla-
very, rcjoices at England's strict neutrality.
The Dirty Npus eulogizes the message,
and says it sets at rest the question CT com
pronisc, and the Government is now in po-
sition to secure by its energetic action the
sympathy of foreign powers.
