CHRISTIANITY AND WAR.

The secular as well as the religious
press in the United States is Just now
giving u great amount of space and
effort to the discussion of the question
under what circumstances a Christian
nation Is justified In going to war. ana
the same theme Is, to great extent,
engrossing the American pulpit. Ex-
IRENE views are being expressed on
both sides of the controversy. Some
writer's go to great lengths in opposing
war, holding 1t to be unjustlfiable under
almost any circumstances; others go n
corresponding distance In the opposite
direction, maintaining that self
respecting nation ought to resent by
nets of war even slight insults and in
juries.
But robust common sense charac-
terises, to considerable degree, the
predominant sentiment of the country,
The American. press, pulpit and people
are neither pugnacious. fatuous nor
cowardly. They are not disposed to en-
gage in war on trivial grounds, nor
with prcclpitancy. 1t is not so long
alHNt titAN tlhtlEtu iluin a. very stNNTt
one that they have forgotten its trials,
horrors and dreadful consequences.
They show u disposition TO avoid it as
long as they can without injury to
their sclf-respect and the esteem in
which the ''considerate judgment Of
mankind" viii hold them.
But they do not Interpret the teach
lngs of Christianity as absolutely pro-
hibltlng war from any motive. on the
contrary, the prevailing opinion among
the thoughtful. Intelligent and religious
classes OF the country supports the ad-
ministratlon as far as 1t has gone in
Cuban affairs, and holds that war is
preferable to retrograde action by this
government that would permit a pro-
longation Of past conditions on the
island of Cuba.
Recently a correspondent Of the Troy
Times submitted a number of ques-
lions bearing upon the relations OF
Christianity to war. and Rev. T. Il.

WAR NOT DESIRABLE.

Some advocates of war take the
ground that conflicts between nations
are not only unavoidable but desir-
able. They reason from analogy and
hold that as the bowling storms and
devastating cyclones are natural, so
are wars; the former serve the pur-
pose OF clearing and purifying the air,
and the latter cleanse the moral atmos-
phere and consequently are blessings
in disguise. But there IL this to say
about this reasoning that the analog,
is not satisfactory. The connections
In nature are governed by eternal
forces beyond the control of the hui
man will as influenced by passion or
selflshness. The causes that lead to
Instructions and wars are different.
In the opinion of high authority there
has never been a war fought that
could not have been avoided. had one
or both of the contendins parties NOT
been determined TO commit some
wrong.
It would he equally logical to say
that family rows street brawls. bar
room quarrels, holdups and murders
are desirable features OF human lives.
These. too, probably clear the atmos-
phere in a limited area. and to some
extent. but civilized society recog
nizes that they must be suppressed by
all means at its disposal, educational
and others. What are wars If not
such quarrels on a larger scale? They
are the application of brute force,
where under more desirable conditions
peaceful adjustment would have
been attalnable.
1t IL of course not denied that wars
sometimes have been forced ON ma
lions under circumstances where not
to accept the challenge would have
been equal to surrenderins just
cause 10 eternal defeat. Nations have

hearted citizens, note our prog
reSs.
More than a decade has gone by
since yonr last meeting at this
place. In the meantime our town
has cast of swaddling clothes,
and is taking on tie air and mien
OF a city. She has laid bold on
destiny and wrested from her what
she would; has snatched the tlow-
ing cup of fortune from the hand
of fate and drunk long and deep.
Behold her now, as she greets you
after thirteen years, - our fair
little city, whose feet are kissed by
the dimpling waves of rich old
Red; whose cheek is famed by
soft southern zephyrs; her zone
engirdlod by iron threads Of the
railway.
Crowned by roses, smiled on by
prosperity, commended by prog
ress, cheercd by hope, on the brow
of her hills and the lap of her val
leys, there is the caress Of plenty.
1t is with pride that we show her
you. Shreveport is no sluggard.
She has made giant strides, has
striyen against many odds.
The little village, that was left
at the close of civil strife devasta-
ted, crushed almost hopeless, is
today a thriving city, proud, self
reliant and prosperous.

Women and men of the Press,
members of the pen-and-ink craft,
moulders of public opinion, frater-
nifty of bold thought and courage

have you with us.
There is genial wave attending
the editor which dissipatcs every
formality; at his appr ach i'm
pregnable defences melt; barriers
: fall, and the open sesame is pre-
scented. He brings an atmosphere
of aggressiveness and interest, and
fresh impulse that is invigorating.
He is never off his guard, the man
of the quill, and even when his air is
most jovial and his mien most in
nocent, alas for the unwary, his
fingers are itching for the pencil,
an | he is making mental data.
What a power is here, and what
a danger.
Before the little steel point of
pen, tremble fortune, fame, repu-
tation; in it's venom proud names
are shrivclled. homes are blasted,
hearts ar, brok, n In it's sunshine
thousands bask; from it's che cry
message the faint hearted take
hope again, at it's refreshing spring
millions quaif and are refreshed.
1t is a powerful ally, a splendid
champion, a terrible enemy.
The hand that guides it should
move cautiously, the brain that
directs it should be big and strong
and progressive, and generous and
fearless and wise. The shoulders
that bear it's consequences should
be broad, and the heart that sus-
tains it should be brave.
The newspaper is a sine quo non
of the present. 1t is the meat and
drink of progress; the pulse OF
trade; the advance-guard of inno-
walton, the trumpet of reform, the
drop of experiment, the stepping
stone to success.
Without it, the arteries of traffic
would dry up and wither; the
growth of nations would be dwarf
ed; the battle of life would Ian
guish, the voice of civilization
would be silent.
The editor must be armed for
every battle; musttilt a joust lance;
in every joust must weigh every
question, ponder every subject,
give expression on every point.
