raE RrssO.TURKIsH WAR

The long-expected war between
Russia and Turkey IS about to be-
gin. The declaration Of war was
made some days ago. and great
armies are moving on to the conflict,
though some little time may elapse
before the frat battle is fought.
Tho moral sentiment Of Europe
will sustain Russia, and it is to be
hoped that the contest will end

nsnt Of Europe. All the great
powers are united in asking the
Porte to give guarantees OF such re-

hut -hs defantly rejected all friendly
mediation and thus brought on
Q war which may possibly involve
all Europe; though this seems
hardly probable, if we are to be-
lieve cabinet usterances. England,
upon whom the Porto relied for aid.
has informed the Sultan that he
must not expect any help from that
quarter.
As to which will be the victor, if
other nations do not take part, there
can be no doubt. Russia is in
every way the strongest financially,
numerically, and in armament and
commissairat. She has ample
stores Of provision, the product Of
he. own soil. and is not embarrassed
for money. On the contrary.
Turkey has an army badly armed.
poorly fed, and unpaid for two
years. Her excbequer is empty
and she cannot borrow in any
European capital.
Christian people everywhere will
sympathiss with Russia, being q
Christian nation and fighting for
the amelioration of Christian people,
fghting against q nation OF Ma
bomedan fanatics who are the sworn
enemies of all forms Of Christian
religion; . nation far behind the
rest Of Europe in civilization and
intelligence; a nation Of polyga-
mists. who buy and sell females as
We do auy merchandise. and q ma
ton unalterably opposed to religi-
ous federation.
In this age of intelligent advance
ment we think the great Powers
should not permit the existence in
. neighboring state Of a condition
like that Of Turkey. where people
are cutting each others throats on
account Of religious differences. If
the government cannot or will not
put stop to such doiugs, let the
Powers overturn the state if reform
cannot otherwise be attained.
Civilization and Christianity de-
mand this, and it should be done
ut vhstever cost.

The Chinese in California.

We extract the following from the
third letter Of Rev. A. w. Loomis to
The New York Observer in favor of
the Chinese:
From $50 to 800 have p,ofessed
Christianity. Some of these, we
know, have boldly witnessed tor the
truth, and steadfastly endured perse-
cution after returning to their own
country. More and more each year
the Christian people Of California are
awakening to sense Of the privilege
and honor conferred upon them, as
we'll as the obligations devolved
upon them by Gods providence, to do
all in their power to evangelize these
Chinese, that they may be prepared
to disseminate the ruth when they re-
turn to China, and 80 become the
leaven which shall eventually, and
we hope speedily, leavcn that whole
nation.
FIT is Gods purpose by this I'M
migration to prepare the way for
Chrlstianizlng China, and if we
should all be co-workers with God
by falling in with his plans Of work
ing, then it is best. probably, not to
quarrel with Gods arrangements.
And, UNLIKE SOME OTHERS who
come to America. and who manage
to get to the ballot box very soon.
they are NOT sworn to support any
foreign hierarchy and foreign eccle-
siastical magnate who claims the
whole earth as his dominion. The
Chinese. even at home. arc not
jealous propagandists; they are, on
the other hand, so tolerant that they
have allowed the Tauist sect to
spring up; then the Buddhist to
come in; then the Mahomedan, and
now the Christian religion is tole-
rated; and by the provisions OF the
treaty any Chinaman is at liberty to
profess whatever faith he chooses.
1t will be seen that Rev. LOOMS is
blinded by missionary zeal and
partly actuated by hatred of Catho-
lies, especially Irish Catholics.
