MILFORD, DEL, FRIDAY, JANUARY II, 1896.

loteers are angels OF dellYerance, and they
would all ride down at once to roll over
and trample under the hoofs Of their white
horses any Of her assailants. May the
$500, 600 she seeks be laid at her feet Then
may the ships that carry her across Attain
tic and Mediterranean seas be guided safe
" by him who trod into sapphire pave
ment bestormed Galileel Upon soil incar-
nadined with martyrdom let the Red Cross
be planted, until every demolished village
shall be rebuilded and every pang of hun
ger be fed, and every wound Of cruelty be
healed, and Ammonia stand with as much
liberty to serve God in Its own way as in
this the best land OF all tho Garth we, the
descendants Of tho Puritans and Holland
eTs and Huguenots, arc free to worship the
Christ who came to set all nations free.
Doctrine of HelpfuIness.
1t has been said that il we go over there
to interfere on another continent that
will imply the right for other nations TO
interfere with affairs on this continent,
and so the Monroe doctrine be jeopardized
No, mol President Cleveland expressed
the sentiment of every intelligent and pa
triotic American when he thundered from
the White House a warning to all nations
that there is not one acre or one inch moro
atlantic government to occupy. And by
that doctrine We stand now and shall for
ever stand.
But there is a doctrine as much higher
than the Monroe doctrine as the heavens
are higher than the earth, and that is the
doctrine Of humanitarianism and sympa-
thy and Christian helprulness which ono
cold December midnight, with loud and
multitudinous chant, awakened the shop
herds. Wherever there is "a wound it is our
duty, whether as individuals or as nations,
to balsam it, WhOrevcr there is q knife of
assassination lifted it is our duty to ward
off tho blade. Wherever men are persecut-
ed for their religion il is our duty to break
that arm Of power whether it be thrust
forth from Protestant church or a Cath
Ole cathedral or Jewish synagogue or
mosque Of Islam. We all recognize the
right ON a small scale. If, going down the
road, we find a rufiian mGltreating a child,
or human brute insulting a woman, we
take hand in the contest if We are not
towards, and though We be slight in per
sonal presence, because of our indignation
we come to weigh about 20 tons, and the
harder we punish tho villain the louder
our conscience applauds MS. In such case /
we do not keep our hands in our pockets, /
arguing that if we interfere with he brute, /
the brute might think he would have a
right 20 interfere with us and so leopard /
ize the Monroe doctrine.
The Ark Of Sympathy.
The fact is that that persecution of tho |
Armonians by tho Turks must be stopped, /
or God Almighty will curse all Christen-
dom for its damnable Indifference and .
apathy. But the trumpet Ct resurrection
is about TO sound Tor Armenia. Did l say
in opening that ON one of the peaks of Ar
mcnia, this very. Armenia Of which we
speak, in Noah's time the ark landed, ac-
cording to the myth, as some think, but
according to Gods say so, - as know,
and that it was after long storm of 40
days and 40 nights, called the deluge, and
that afterward "A dove went forth from that
ark and returned with an olive leaf in her
beak? Even SO now there is another ark
being launched, but this one goes sailing,
not over delugo of water, but delugo of
blood-the ark of american Sympathy
and that ark, landing on Ararat, from its
window shall fly tho dove Of kindness and
peace, to lind the olive leaf of returning
prosperity, while all the mountains of
Moslem prejudice, oppression and cruelty
shall stand 10 cubits under. Meanwhile
We would ilko TO gather all the dying
5roans of all the 500 coo victims Of Mo
oppression and intOne them
INTO one prayer that would move the earth
and the heavens, hundreds of millions of
Christians voices American and Euro
Dean, crying out: 20 God Most High
Spare thy children. With mandate from
he throne hurl back upon their launches
he horses of the Kurdish cavalry Stop
he rivers Of blood. With the earthquakes
# thy wrath shake the foundations Of the
,alaces Of the sultan, Move all the nations
# Europe tOcommand cessation Of cruelty.
f need be, let the warships of civilized
nations boom their Indignation. Let the
resent go down before the cross, and the
Eighty One who hath on his vesture and
N his thigh a namo written King of Kings
nd Lord Of Lords, 90 forth, conquering
nd to conquer Thine, o Lord, is the
,ingdomi Halleluiahl Amenp
