will be branded by the second sober
thought of the American people as
the criminals of the nineteenth CEN
fury. When these men had an oppor-
tllnity to fight for their land, when
the stars and stripes were trailed in
the dust. they sent substitutes. A
war between England and America
could never be determined until one
or the other went into bankruptcy or
had no more men to fill the ranks. AS

universal brotherhood, [ call for ar

Rev. DR.. Silverman, of the Temple
Emanuel preached a sermon on, ION
What Lines Can Christians and Jews
Unite?"
He said that since he had announced
his subject the nations were plunged
into what may become g. deadly dis
pute over a boundary line The sub
acct underlay all legislation ait Wash
lngton: it was the chief topic of dis
cuSSlon on the streets; its influence
was felt in the business world, and
altogether had absorbed consideration
to the exclusion Of everything else.
Their were. he said. some things on
which Jews and Christians could
unite and work in harmony; that was
by working on parallel lines, to in
culcaite respect for each others con-
V-ctlons and strive to do the most
good without hindering or interfering
with the works of each other They
aiso could. by uniting against unnec-
essaqy wars. be a most potent means

Or. w. S. Rainford preached a, sermon
before a meeting of the Young Mems
Christian association at Association hall
I Gy on the Misunderstanding Of
S ~ Toward the close of his sermon
ne n. said that the misunderstanding of
Chrlst was evidenced by the war talk that
nad been INDUCED in by the nation dur
ing IN the last few days, Nothing could be
teachings than that two Christian ma
uons should fly at each others threats for
q rlfle. The members of the Y. NJ c. A
were numerous across the sea, and it
would be an evil spirit truly that would
pun them at the threats of their brethren
here. 1t would be fratrcdal. 1t was a
false and aliuring conception of the duties
the people of both nations owed TO each
other. There could be no war if the Chris
tan people of both nations had anything
TO say about it. and he believed the Chris
tan spirit would triumph.
The Fiercest.
OF all the anti-war sermons preached
in this city today, the fierceSt was that
preached in the Central Methodist
church by the Rev. S. P. Cadman.
DR.. Cadman is an Americanized Eng
lishman, and his language was direct
ed with equal Vehemence against the
war advocates of both countries. Be

said, there was much of the barbarian
in all of us. when the howlings of the
war dogs could bring us SO near the
| threats of our neighbors. If was was
/ averted, he said, it would only be be-
cause of the intervention of the relig-
ious organizations.
DR.. Cadman then denounced the chap
| lain of the House of Representative
! because of the prayer which he recent
| ly offered. Continuing, he said: The
! English people and the newspape
am sorry to say, are no better than
those on this side. The whole thing is
! characterized by a species of hydro
! phobia- AT the treaty of Berlin, Eng
land offered to take care of the Christ
ians within the territories of the sui
tan. How she has done SO, the slaugh-
ter of million Christians in the time
that has elapsed, sufficiently testif1es
of a farce. The slaughter now going
on in Armenia is the aftermath of the
British jingoism.
Lord Salisbury inherits some of the
qualities Of his ancestor, the warlike
Cecil that scattered the Spanish
Armada. He is the greatest foreign
minister since the days of Lord Pal
merston. He will fight If the grea-

Is Crime.
Discussing the Venezuelan question
in his sermon today, the Rev. Thoma:
Dixon, jr., said: In my opinion, tn,
very thought of war between tn,
United States and Great Britain il
crime. Where there is war, there il
something to fight for If there is an.
great people or any great issue in
volved, there may be occasion for ON

that Gerat Britain occupies and tn
platform that our nation occupies now
A war between Great Britain and tn
United States would be a crime be
cause we are the same people, sam
blood and the same tongue. Gu

have the same principles"
Mr.. Dixon then asked if the Monro
doctrine was really involved in the dis
pute and said: 1T is simply said to b
question of the boundary lines O
two countries. What great issues ar
involved in this question of landlord
ism to cause two great countries to G
