THE RUTLAND HERALD
The Christian View of War.

Just as our nation have laid aside the
sword, and disbanded armies which took
part in our bloody strife, and the people
begin to dream of a long abiding peace,
there comes to us, waited across the At
lantic, the echo of the dyum and the
tramp of warriors. The battle ground
is one of historic interest, and during the
last twenty centuries has been drenched
with the blood of millions. Caesar, Char
lemagne, the Barons of feudal times,
Charles of Burgundy, Napoleon the First
have made the banks of the Rhine and
the Moselle the scenes of the greatest
contests on record.
"Peace on Earth, Good will to Men"
was the declaration of the founder of
Christianity, and yet the strife continues.
God alone knows why this should be.
The Christian estimate of war sets it
down as relic of the barbarism of the
dead and terrible past, signifyng woe,
misery, tears and slaughter. There is a
fascination for men, surrounding war, des-
engendered by the pCmp and circumstance
of martial display and war-like pagentry,
Turing them on to,destruction, and sorrow.
Today one may gaze upon the gallant
array of stalwart soldiers marching in SER
ried columns through the cities and viii
lage of the old world and the sight fires the
hearts of young men, and fills them with
enthusiastic ardor to take part in the
coming fray. Let war cease, and where
are the soldiers whose military bearing
was so much admired short period be-
fore. Visit the battle fields strewn with
the slain and wounded, and witness in
those mangled, shattered mortals the end
of war.
War, in itself viewed is not in accor-
dance with the teachings of Christianity.
Let those kingly personages, whose ina
ginary wrongs have hurried two nations
into such horrible sacrifices, look upon
the result, and re member their resposibi-
bility in the PREMISES. War brings dis
truction, not only to human life, but also
on property. Homes are disserted, and
very often the dying soldier is tortured
in his last moments by the knowledge
that perhaps those dearest to him will be
left homeless if no worse fate befalls them.
With all this in view can war be compata-
BILE with the teachings of the Christian.
Except where down-trodden races strike
for liberty against tyrants and oppression,
war is not justifable. There can be no
excuse made for Governments which go
to war merely for glory, territorial agran-
dizement or to seek satisfaction for some
trivial trespass or treading on nation al
dignity. War is contrary to the laws of
God, and christian nations should
pray for the Fastening Of that time when
strife shall cease, and man may sit be-
meath his own vine and fig tree without
fear of danger.

the Superintendent, erything passed off
pleasantly, and the little ones, and larger
ones also, were evidently blessed and
benefited by the healthful recreation.
The Sunday school in this country has
become one of the most prominent insti-
tutions in our land. Its influence is felt
for good, far and near, and should be en-
couraged and pstronized by every patri-
otto and Christian community.
The drouth, scarcity of water, and
the abundance of the apple crop are the
themes of most frequent conversation.
Cider mills, long ago gone to neglect and
ruin, have been repaired, and new ones
erected. Barrels and molasses hogsheads
are all called into service, and town agen-
cies are searched, that all empty medicine
casks be brought into use, that the next
years supply of vinegar may be secured
There has not been time within the
memory of that most respectable person
age, "the oldest inhabitant," when the
apple orchards have so bent and broke be-
meath the weight of superintendent fruit
as now. And as it is said that one ex-
treme follows another, we may not expect
soon to see the like again in all the vallies
of Black River, West River, Williams
River, and the Connecticut.

ored and genial associate in historical Ia
Dor and long time personal frien d, George

ties have prevented. We there fore pub

About year since the sad duty was
assigned to us to pronounce before the
Vermont Historical Society biographi-
cal sketch of it's deceased Pre- sidnnt, Rev.
Pliny H. White, who had but just entered
upon the second year of his presidency.
Now we are called upon to nnounce the
death of Mr., Houghton, his successor, just
at the closing of his first years service.
The soc iety, during its history of nearly
twenty-five years, had but two presidents
previous to them, Henry Stevens and Hi

energies to rescuing our early history from
oblivion, and the result of their labor after
time shall appreciate and we'll assign them
their proper place in the history "a the

oh you, who point scorn's finger at
The erring man or woman,
With curling lip, forgetting that,
Like you, they are but human;
Remember what our Lord once spoke
About an erring sister;
Nor e'er presume to add one stroke,
Or word your lounge should blister.
You over-righteous, that pass by
A poor, sad, fallen creature,
With censure in Your frisid eye,
And scorn stamped on each FEATURE
Forget not that an Eye of Love
Looks with compassion kindly,
From gracious Mercy throne above
On weak hearts straying blindly.
And you who fl lunt your robes Of pride
Where meaner rags may hutter,
Draw not in scorn those robes aside
Nor words contemptuous utter:
Those rags may hide kinder heart
Than beats meath silk and jewel ;.
For richest robes oft serve, in part,
To make heart that's cruel.
Full off the very heart you scorD.
Beats with nobler feeling;
But, all without the art was born

their lives and character. But more than
that, they may catch the spirit OF that
life which originated the truth. thus
they will attain true manhood and be lead

Rev. Mr.. Mills offered touching, and
fervent and concluding prayer, in which
he implored the divine blessing upon the
brotherhood, and that the truths that had
been uttered might be impressed upon
their hearts, and commencing to God

recently afflicted by the disastrous incl

ing the guidance of protecting power In
the safe return of those from abroad to

The following hymn was then rendered
by the choir :.... -..-..... ....n
Call the Lord thy sure salvation,
Rest beneath tn Almightys shade;
In his secret habtation
Dwell, and never be dismayedl
There no tumult can alarm thee,
Thou shalt dread no hidden snare;
Guile nor violence can harm thee,
In eternal safeguard there.
Thee, though winds and waves swelling,
God, thy Hope, shall bear through all;
Plague shall not come nigh thy dwelling.
Thee no evil shall befall.
he shall charge his angel legions
Watch and ward DER thee to keep,
Though thou walk through hostile regions,
Though in desert wilds thou sleep.
Since, with firm and pure affection,
Thou on God hast set thy love,
With the wings ofhis protection
He shall shield thee from above.
The congregation were then dismissed
with the benediction by Rev. Mr.. Mills.

We trust the Brotherhood of Locorno-

PoCToRsvIILE.-In the recent death
of Jesse L. Paine, brakeman on the rail-
road, is afforded another INSTANCE OF the
importance of Life Insurance, and the
care necessary for the insured to keep the
premiums promptly paid. When his
mangled remains were brought home here
to his wife and children, all supposed
there was $4,000 life policy in force for
the benefit of his destitute family, for he
had frequently assured them and his
friends that in case of his death they
would receive enough to put them in
comfortable circumstances. Investigation,
however, shows that he omitted to pay
his renewal premium, in April last
Hence, by the terms of the policy il
lapsed, and was void. A statement of the
case was sent to the Home Office, (Tht
