Concluded from Fir.t Pape

taken by this Christian Nation at this
period of the worlds history for any but
the best of reasons would be a blot on our
civilization. There are, of course, wars
which are waged in obedience to the high
est behests of humanity, and there is no
doubt that there are a great many who
favor war to-day under the influence of
these high motives. But on the other hand,
there are great many who believe that the
resources of diplomacy have not yet been
exhausted and that it is not apparent that
1t is necessary to draw the sword to secure
all that can be reasonably asked.
i am sure that l am speaking for you
when l say that the President of the United
tates deserves the gratitude of the Nation
for his manly course in these negotiations.
He has borne himself with quiet dignity
and his patient, calm judgment and I'M
swerving desire for peace are worthy of the
highest praise and have won for him the
confidence of all calm, peace-loving and
sober-minded men. May God lay His hand
upon the feveriSh pulse of the Nation May
the governments of these two nations be
not driven to undertake war that must
not only threaten the bankruptcy and revo-
luton and possibly a worse calamity TO
Spain, but costly beyond expression in the
sacrifice of blood ana treasure to the Amer
lean people"

Wars always have more or less influence
on literature by attracting attention to new
scenes and situations and by furnishing
new themes. The recent war between the
Greeks and the Turks has turned the at

Greece was stirred by a wave of patriotism

Elements Of Literary Criticism.

Professor Charles E. Johnson, author of
English Words" has a new work entitled
Elements Of Literary Criticism" The real
value of literature lies in the fact that it is
source of pleasure, and it is most to be
desired that we enjoy it unconsciously, as
the Scotch enjoy the poems of Burns, with
out any thought of elements, or qualities,
or reasons. But that is possible only where
an entire community is possessed of a love
Tor poetry that has grown up among them;
with which all have been familiar from
earliest childhood. We Americans have very
and have inherited a vast literature which
we have not produced. Study and reflection
add greatly to our appreciation of this. To
ala and promote such study and apprecia-
ton the author of Elements of Literary
Criticism enters into an examination of
some of the most plain and obvious quail
tiles OF some of the work of a few OF the
great English writer's, with the idea that
an intelligent understanding of the sim
plest reasons why admired writer's are adj
mlrable, may lead to more love of them
gard for them on traditional grounds The
scope of the work may be inferred from
the chapter headings which are: The power
or making unity of a productions of re-
al1zlng character; of suggesting the rela-
ton or man to nature and to the universal
harmony of things; the artists philosophy
OF lie; or expressing thought in musical
words; of skillfully combining words the
phrase power; Of description; of express
ing intense feeling, the dynamic force The
author has succeeded we'll in bringing a
wide subject into convenient compass and
treating it with method but without me-
chanieal dryneSS.

BISHOP LAwRENCE,s VIEWS.
We Should Not BE Rushed Into War
by yellow Journals.

BOSTON, April 3.-Episcopal Bishop Will
liam Lawrence preached the sermon in the
Emanuel Church to-day and pleaded for an
honorable peace in our dealings with other
nations. He said:
1.-The time has passed for discussion as to
how. the present troubles about Cuba arose,
whether from INSCRIPTIONS plantation own
erS and sugar importers, from low dem
agogueS in nigh places or from a false and
vulgar form OF patriotism: sympathy with
a people struggling as did our fathers for
freedom from tyranny has had its part
and a profound sympathy for thousands of
starving sufferers near our coast. What
ever the causes or the motives, the fact is
that we stand to-day in imminent danger OF
war;
IF war must come let it come, but before
it comes let us strain every nerve for peace
as behooves a Christian people. The point
is not whether Cuba must be freed today
or whether we intervene to-day, but
whether by diplomacy, by Cancellation, by
conference, by any means except war the
object which this Nation In its sober judg-
ment and not in excitement believes It
should attain can be attained by peace.
What boots it a few days or weeks pro-
vided this Nation stands before the world
and before God as having exhausted every
means for a peaceful settlement before re-
sort to arms.
rumors of war, no appeal to passion, no
cheap journalism or even tender sympathy
for suffering Cubans to paraiyze our rea-
son throw away our Self-reStraint or sweep
us off our feet. Let us do our part towards
showing our representatives in Washington
that We expect them to use every effort for
peace They have got to be trusted when
It comes to action. but they represent peo-
ple that are on the whole Self-reStratned
and lovers of peace. AS men in responsible
places it becomes them to act with even more
self-restraint and quiet judgment than the
people. We thank God that he VINO STANDS
at the head of the Nation, the representa-
tive American, has shown himself to De
strong Self-reS5rained and lover OF peace:
He has had grave judgments to make and
he has made them as If the Prince of Peace
stood before him. He has the facts and he
can well be trusted by Congress and by the
neople in his own time to acc upon them.
