victory of peace that inventions have
been made which bring the works and
s,rataSems of war within the aeknowl-
edged limits of science: for when wax
was subject TO the prowess and strength
Of personal force and individual cour-
age; when men wore mail and smote
with faIchions and reduced cities with
catapults, mild eyed Peace had not yet
opened a path for her wisest sister, Sci
elce, and giant strength and physical
courage ruled the ranks and dictated the
terms of combat and conclusion. To-
lay the pen is mightier than the sword;
to-day the busy needle of the sewing
machine, potent. almost. as one OF the
silent forces of nature, puts to shame
the wrath OF armies. and sends the sword
to the swarthy hands of the iron-tounder.
To-day the bowed and study-worn in
ventor, and not Richard OF the lion
heart, tells the issue of sieges and rules
the fierce conflict OF the sea and harbor
with bolts and shields of iron. Peace
grows up from the silent but potent
,lepths Of Science, and in the realm OF
Reason grow the grated fruits which
have come to supersede the seedlings Of
i less cultured eve. War stands abashed
and confounded in the presence OF a
peace which rests upon the intelligent
outrage Of reason. And as schools grow
and the press becomes purer; as the bet
5sE parts of -ueu ; minds dominate the
b2ser passion q mems nature; as mans
humanity to man finds a wider exempli-
tication and a stronger recognition, the
victories of Peace will not only be recog-
nized as better worthy Of renown than |
the achievements of war, but they will |
wrest the plain and grove and mountain |
side, the beach, the headland and the |
sea from squadron, battery and hne-of-
battle ship. and hang the olive wreath |
On high, above pasture, farm and bay.
And this shall he the millennium; this |
shall be the perfection Of the day when
there shall be no more war, and when
the gentle eyes of peace shall cease 20
De made to weep IN the presence Of the /
angry crest Of war.
SOME WORDS FOE AND OF JUDAISM.
On Saturday, February 20, at the Tenn
pie Emanuel, New York, Doctor Gotthiel
delivered discourse upon certain con-
;rssts and comparisons Of Judaism and
Christianity. In tie course of his very
excellent sermon lie said
The Jews are to-day scattered over the
world because of their love for liberty and
Of truth and thousands have given up
their lives rather than deny their faith.
And to-day no Israelite can be faithful
and true to libsrty who is not also true
TO God OF all the sad experiences of
Israel this Is the saddest, that their love
for the Lord and His law should be
turned against them, and a thousand
p1lpits In Christian lands declare that
the poor Jew Is to be pitied and prayed
for, because he walks in the bondage Of
the Lord, and it is the duty OF every one
TO cover his from his eyes. This has
become stereotyped, so that every little
h1c
Knows It by heart. The Doctor spoke
Of the intellectual liberty enjoyed by
Israelites here, and remarked that i Is
their duty TO return good for evil, but.
10 speak tLe.r minds freely
and with frankness, with charity 20 all
men and with malice to none. The
Doctor defined what bondage is-re-
,trainIng a man from the exercise Of Lis
natural faculties and powers and rights
and showed that IsraelI;es are not in
pundage In this sense. II We are to
nave peace Of any kind he said the law
