{saial.s Prophecy Still UnfulfiIled.

A clergyman of this city, preaching
about Christianity aud war, las: Sun
d.y. was forced to come to the econcIus-
ion that the day is still far of when,
as Isaiah pr1phesied, the nations woult
beat their swords into plohgh-shares
and learn war no more.
Christian France has only just come
To peaoe with h.athen China after use
less slaughter of thousands Of human
beings. Christian England is still
fphting the Mohenimeians of the
Soudan. In Central America llostiii-
ties which may more and more involve
this country are now gong on. In
Canada the Rirl rebellion Of Christian
lied Indians against those who had
converted them is to day in progress,
and the war may be long and bloody.
France makes threatening demonstra-
tons against Egypt. Ireland is pre-
vaded by spirit of bitter animosity
against England, which would delight
to expIess itself in a bloody conflict.
All Europe is armed to the teeth. aud
the military preparations of the pow
RS are on scale of magnitude never
before eaualIed. Finally, England and
make ready for probable war, induc-
ed bv the greed of conquest of tile one
and the determination of the other to
hold fast conquests made long ago.
The prophecy of Isaiah, therefore, is
not likeiy to be fulfilled in the nine
teenth century, and war has been and
still is about as much the business OF
Christians as it was of the pagans be
fore the day when Christ preached the
brotherhood of man and celebrated the
virtues ef meekness and humility. A
few years ago people were fiattering
themselves that SO stupid a method oi
settling differences between nations
was about to give place to peaceful ar.
bitration, and that the time was near
at hand when two countries would nc
more think of resorting to arms against
each other than two great merchants
