Christian War.

alter all. CHRISTIANS are just
: ferocious as barbarians, when tn
blood is fairly upon the battle
i, field; and, tits not surprising tina
the heather finds it difficult to rec
oncile the policy of civilization
and the morals of civilized indi
viduals, with gospel principles ant
the pure example of the Prince Of
Peace. At this moment, on thu
plains of Southern Europe-in {
region which may we'll be termed
the Paradise of the Eastern Cont
nent-some twenty-six hundred
thousand professed followers of
Him who preached "peace on earth.
good will to men," and whose eve
ry act was in harmony with His
sublime doctrines, are eXulting in
the prospect of wholesale massa-
ere and spoilation. Even those
who have right and justice on
their side in the bloody quarrel,
will wreak their worst passions
upon their enemies as melezfessly
as if they were possessed of devils,
and had no mission but to make
Gods earth a hell. 1t is true that,
in christian wars, the fallen are
notscalped, nor are captives cooked
and eaten; but it is well known
that helpless soldiers have been
bayonetted; and that rape and pill
lage sometimes followed the cap
ture of Southern towns in the
late war. 1t would seem, there
fore, that however reverently chris
tians may say Amen to the gentle
and benign precepts of the New
Testament, when promulgated in
the sanctuary on Sabbath day,
they utterly ignore them, and
trample them under foot, when
they snuff the smoke and the faint
of blood. On the battle-plain, and
the furious pursuit that follows
victory, the Archfend is lord of
the ascendant, and he, not the
"Creator and Preserver," should be
called the "God of Battles"
Whether we do or do not derive
the worst part of our nature he
reditarily from our misguided an
cestors-Eve and Adams a
question that metaphysicians and
theologians may settle at their
leisure. 1t is of little consequence
whether our lady mother was in
oculated with original sin by Lu-
cifer, or whether she and her hus-
band had it in the natural way
since there can be no doubt that
it now runs in the blood of the
race, and cannot be wholly eradi-
Gated by any spiritual treatment.
We must take things as they exist.
No christian in uniform, with his
bayonet levelled, was ever known
to behave as a christian after the
word was given to charge. Keep
powder and ball, steel and torch,
out of his reach, and he may do
honor to the church, and preach
and peace with some consist
ency to missionary-eating barbara
ans; but arm him, and set him face
to face with one of his armed fell
,o,o-christians, and he will shoot, |
hack, and stab during the conflict, !
and destroy, outrage, and plumber
after it, with as much zeal and
zest as if Peter had never been re-
buked for drawing the sword, or
Moses had never heard the COM
mandments on Mount Sinai.
The following, taken from the
New Orleans Christian Advocate,
shows how little the sanctuaries
Of the Most High were respected
during our war, and speaks much
as to the depravity of men, when
Invested of the moral restraint of
the strong arm of civil law -
