The Peoples Church.


For the morning service at the Peo-
ple's church. liberal congregation WAS
gathered to listen to a most practical
sermon by the Rev. ]. II. Phillips.
whose text was Swords and Plowshares.
The speaker found in the sntithstical
words of the prophets Joel and lssiah
the thought for his text. proclaim ye
this among the gentiles," says the
prophet. Prepare man; beat your
plowshares into swords and your prun-
ing hooks into spears; let the weak say
l am strong"
Joel the pessimist, the biblical bard Of
gloomy grandeur, who alternated his
brief epistles with chesrfulness and
direct scenes of desolation, seemed in
the text quoted 20 see little hope for
the betterment of the human race and
the exsltation of Judah, save what
might be found in the stern arbitrament
OF war.
But Joel's life, as we'll as his age, we
are told was stormy one. War and
general desolation had Sravaged during
his time, the then known world. He
had seen Judah's chosen people dis
persed into bondage and he longed for
their restoration. Therefore, with
sweeping besom of deatruction. he calls
upon his people to resort to war for the
salvation OF Jerusalem, or, in other
words. the triumph of what he consid-
cred the right.
But, in contrast to the sanguinaTy
picture OF might making right, we are
introduced to the philosophy Of Isaiah.
the optimist, be who so far believed in
the ultimate reign OF peace that he pro-
claimed prince of peace. OF ell the
prophets who rose on aspiring pinion to
meet the Sun OF Righteousness, Isaiah
alone, 1.-THE prince of nong," caught on
his wing the richest anticipation OF
Christ's riRing and the clearest vision OF
his future mission on earth. And so,
this prophes-peacemaker, at q time
when grim vissged war less assumed his
wrinkled front than when Joel wrote,
reversed the latter's prophecy, when he.
too. in vision of the time when Judah
and Jerusalem should be exalted, and
the house OF God established in the
mountains aud exalted above the hills,
and the nations of the earth should be
at peace, then 'they would beat their
swords into plowshares and there spears
into pruning-hooks, neither should they
learn war any more"
The preacher thought that mankind
learned from the horrors and desolation
and bloodshed and expense of war to
cultivate the harmony and blessings that
follow the paths of peace.
But these lessons of the Bible have an
individual as we'll as a national and uni
versal meaning. There are swords and
spears of malice and envy and revenge,
OF evil speaking and thinking against
our brother, that should be beaten into
plowshares and pruning hooks of char
ity and sympathy and helpiuness.
To the practical, progressive altru-
istic thinking minds of this and all
countries is intrusted the leavsning in
iuence and example that must trans
mute the bsse and groveling dregs OF
selfshness, of low motive, of ignorance
and superstition into ways of knowledge
and charity, and the uplifting of our
brothers. life, the promoting OF his well
fare.

A brief resume would not do the ad-

Referring to freedom of speech the
speaker said that the watchman had
this to cay that there is now to be econ
rift in the dark clouds OF superstition
and conservatism that will permit an
honest man or woman not only to think
Independently but to give free and
fearless expression to such thought, no
matter however wide the difference of
such thought may be from prevailing
opinions. Speaking of politics in q
broad sense he said the test should be
applied to personal ability and integ-
rity of the candidates rather than that
blind partisanship should prevail to the
the detriment of public veal.
