WAR ON CHRISTIAN PRINCIPLES,

One of the conditions of a treaty with
Mexico. it is said. was that any future
war which might break out between the
two countries should be conducted on
Christian principles. Now. we all know
that this is an age of progress. and that
all sorts OF improvements are constantly
taking place in all sorts Of matters but
war on Christian principles is entirely the
latest, and, if carried out, will, we think,
prove the greatest of them ALL
just imagine it. We think we can see
two armies drawn out in battle array. A
fair field is before them. The ranks are
formed, the positions taken, the great
guns unlimbered. The General Is Just
about to give the order to fire, when an
aid comes up and respectfully reminds
him that the war is to be conducted on
Christian principles, and it will not do to
lire. Every true. very true" says the
ommander-in-chief; but what are they :?
| have read Vauban, and Scheiter, and
Turenne. / have read the lives Of old
conquerors, and have studied the cam
paigns of the greatest soldiers but never
happened to come across those principles
in any work upon the military art. Do
you know anything about it, Colonel? ?'
mo"
1oi you, MaJor!
Nor l, either. really don't know
now nc VT to begin. suppose it would not do
to shoot. Suppose we send for the Chap
lain"
The Chaplain arrives.
''Do you know anything about this
fighting on Christian principles ?"
"Oh, yes; it is the easiest thing in the
world.''
Where are your books ?''.
Here" and the Chaplain takes out the
Bible.
''Really,n says the General, 1--WE ought
to have thought of that before. 1t is a
bad time to commence the study OF tactics
when the enemy is right before US; but l
suppose we are bound by the treaty. What
is the first thing, Mr.. Chaplain.
"'Thou shalt not kill. Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself.'"
but these are not neighbors. They
are Mexicans.n
1.-The same book tells us, little further
on, that the opportunity to do good to q
man makes him our neighbor."
'Will you 60 on. Mr.. Chaplain
Love your enemies. Do good to
them that hate you. Pray for them that
despitefullv use you. If man smte you
on one cheek turn to him the other"
"But while we are praying for the Mex
leans, they will be firing into u.s."
mo; they are bound by the treaty al
so. 1t works both ways
"Then. what is the use of our arms ?"
"This is also provided for in the same
book. Beat your swords into plough
shares, and your spears into pruning
hooks.'"
"Then do not see as there is anything
for US to do here"
Nothing, unless you send and ask the
Mexican General if he needs anything in
the way of medicines, or provisions, or
clothing, rather think the treaty requires
this of us. And don't know but we ought
to send them few school-masters, for l
understand they are ashockingly ignorant
people,"
