The Pan-American Congress.

GER OF PEACE.

BY JOHN HEMMENWAY IN MESSEN'
GER OF PEACE.
The Pan-Ameiican Congress closed
in Washington, April 10, 1890, in a
blaze of great glory. The work of that
Congress is the grandest, the most SUBJ
timely philanthropic, of any labor ever
performed on the American Continent.
T am so thankful 10 "the God Of peace
and love, that cannot find words iii
to express my gratitude to Him; nor
can tell of my joy over this, the most
beautiful, the most truly glorious event
of our world, since the advent and la
bors of Christ, the Prince of Peace.
(Of course do not include the holy,
Spiritual power of the Gospel on man.
kind for time and for eternity.)
If the labors of that Congress shall
result in finally establishing Arbitra'
ton for the prevention of intelnation'
al war in America, and eventually IN
Europe. and all other nations OF the
world, the results of that Congress on
tic welfare of nations and mankind
will be superbly good and glorious, far
beyond human power TO express or
conceive.
James G. Blaine was the father OF
that Congress of grand philanthropy;
He had for many years cherished and
nurtured the plan of such a Congress,
and at last, by his influence, 1t was
brought into a vigorous existence ; and
if it Shall prove, in its consequences
what all the wise and good-all true
patriots, philanthropists, and Chris
tians hope, the name of James u.
Blaine will stand far higher, in the
gratitude and respect of the nations
and people of the whole earth, than
that of any man who has yet lived III
America or Europe.
1t is proper fer me to say here that
am not one of Mr.. Blaine's political
friends. / belong to no political par

lie was an humble country lawyer

was elected mayor in 1879, and
carried out all the reforms he pro-
missed. He then notified his con
%stieuents that he was going to
indianapolis to be sent to congress,
and departed for the Indiana capital.
His individuality soon made itself
feft. He was elected to the legisla-
ture and, although comparatively a
new man in State Democratic coun.
ellis, announced himself as the next
speaker and won. That was in
1881, and shortly afterwards he
secured the nomination for congress

he aimed for, and has been re.elect.
