Church and State.

An English clergyman i'll published letter
says: 'For fifty years have been nearer of
sermons, chiefly (but not exclusively from
Church of England pulpits, and have never,
except on one solitary OCCASION. heard word
from any pulpit against the practice of war,
and find this to be the experience Of others.
You preach against all kinds of evil, except the
monster evil of war, against which you have
not word to say; one act of which violates all
the commandments of the Dccalogue,
and, as 1 read it. all the teach
ing of the New Testament If peace is so de-
sirabe in the reading desk why is it excluded
from the pu!pit?" As the English church is
just as much a state institution as the war
office, it would be absurd to expect it to con-
denim the acts Of the State, of whlch,it is a
component part. The LONDON Morning Post
sounds the kev-note of possible change in the
future when it says: "The last forty years
have seen great awakening of church life,
and it is now seen that the church has an inhe-
rent power of action. irrespective of parlia-

need of reforms is to make them herself. She

BOLD STAND IN BEHALF OF THE SOLDIER
Inclosed please find check for one dollar for
a copy of THE TRIBUNE the ensuing year.
To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
Allow me a word. I like the bold stand
taken by THE TRIBUNE in behalf of the SOL
dlers, so that they may feel as though they had
an advocate while they are being denounced
as swindlers and frauds by those in high places.
l think if you had not come to the rescue, ere
long they would have denied that they were
in the army, although they are not sorry that
they upheld the flag of their country when it
staggered and reeed upon the bloody field with
perilOus doubts in the result Those who call
us such names would have it understood that
they are the honest patriots, although their
record is against them. They, the bondholders,
refused TO take the money of the Government,
unless made equal il value with gold. The
soldiers in the field took it without murmer.
But we have an interest IN this Government
gold cannot buy, and looking at it from our
t-aduCers standpoint it is unequal for US, and
many of Us viii leave our heirs at best, little
else but our honor; rob US of that and all is
gone. But we notify these patriots that while
we live, and are not disfranchised, we shall
fight for our rights with the ballot in the great
battle of peace, as We fought the enemy with
the bullet in war.

THE SOLDIER AND THE GOVERNMENT.

To the Editor NATIONAL TRIBUNE:
In reading your welcome paper 1 notice
sketches Of wounded soldiers and recovery
from what we would suppose should have
proved fatal wounds. My brother. in the bat
tie of Chickamauga, was shot through the neck,
the ball penetrating the right side and passing
through win pipe, coming out on the opposite
side. He still lives, but is sufferer from
throat and lung troubles. There were four of
us (brothers) in the three years service, and
one was killed at the last fight at Nashville
1 received my first injuries at the battle of
Stone River in the first days heavy engage
ment. We were six days under fire, and with
out shelter all of that time and comparatively
little food. l think if Senator Beck appreci-
ated what we went through with that he would
feel more liberal towards the soldier Notwith-
standing the sacrifices we have made for our
Government and country, feel that / have
done nothing but my duty, although it has
destroyed my health and made me an invalid
for life. We have been honest in doing our
duty; now let the Government do its part
honestly towards the soldier.
Yours with respect,
