 At the Grand avenue Congregational church yesterday morning Rev. J. Lee Mitchell preached an interesting ser mon on the topic Gan Nineteenth Cen tury Civilization Disgrace Itself Far ther?" Mr. Mitchell referred particu- larly to the sufferings of the Christians in Armenia, the prosecutions Of Chris tians in ths island of Crete and the un- civilized warfare the Spanish are car rying on against patriots in Cuba. He held that the unmistakable develop rnent in the hearts of the English and American people was for a conception of diplomacy which had for it's basis nothing else than disinterested human ity and however the governments of these countries might misrepresent them, there were in the hearts of the people ideas distinct from the policies of their governments. One hundred wears ago no government would inter- fere with the policy of another govern- nnent just for the sake of doing good, but in these days such policies would be tolerated and backed up by the peo- pie. The present English government lnisrepresented the English people in the matter Of the revolution in Crete, and the German government also mis- represented the people Of Germany in the same matter. It was absurd to talk of peace when a state of affairs worse than actual war was existing in the is- land. Such condition had no relation to peace.
