REV. REED ON T4s WA2

The following are extracts from a
sermon preached at Denver W. weeks
ago Sunday by Rev. Myron w. Reed
upon the subject, The Rising Geu-
eration.'
The children born between 1861
and 1865 are Father and
mother are full of war news. anxious,
fearful of tomorrow. Few people
cared for a daily paper before 1901.
Then the farmer must have it. He
would put a small boy on a pony and
get the latest. Children born under
these conditions a1e peculiar.
"A child deserves TO be born in
conditions of peace and comfort
among books and pictures and an
absence of noise. l do not blame
people much. Mr.. T~hackery remarks
that a leopard is not to be blanet for
his spots, no tor his temper nor for
his fate. 1t is a predestined path.
He is born a leopard. He will creep
awhile, murder awhile, and a rife
will end him"
''Of course the al is a revival Of
the mercenary spirit. Mr.. Wanna
maker has not raised his regiment.
The men who have plundered the
ration since 1861 have unfortunately
raised children to plumber it again.
Thirty-seven years OF practice have
made these thieves experts. They
have their hands in the pockets of
the children. They will rob them
before they are born. l SEE mor
bonds. Wall street tornented Abra-
ham Lincoln more than the confed-
e1acy. Perhaps we Will not put up
with that kind of a thing if this war
is to be a long one. We confscated
four millions Of slaves-property
under the constitution-some of it
propert y of Union men. I suppose
we might do something of hat kind
with money. We drafted men. We
increased the population of Canada.
Why not draft money? Is gold better
than blood? Is yellow a better color
than red?
The Spanish call US "a nation Of
pigs do not think we are. The
boys on the street yesterday did not
look like that.
For some years l have been in
clined to apologize for having been
born III Vermont-I apologize no
longer. Admiral Dewey was born
in my neighborhood. l suppose he
cut the cable to get rid of the COM
mittee on strategy hat sits in Wash
ington, composed of a bankrupt
major, a convicted coward and a pro-
claimed deserter, and an unknown
quality by the name of Long
I'VE had a committee OF strategy
in 1861. Not until General Grant
had all the men and money he wanted
and his absolute own way did The
war end. 157,o O men were killed
or hurt in seven months-but tn,
wal ended.
There are several things tina
make me weary. Here is the son O
General Grant bobbing up Serenity a
inspector general. Now deliver m
from the children Of great men
Young Logan-he is inspector gen
eral! I had not heard of Russell
Harrison FOR several years. He i
inspector general. That fellow doe
not know a rife from a wash board
He has been in thirteen differen
kinds of business and failed an
caused others to fail. His lathe
seemed to be ashamed Of this chung
His record in Montana is known t
the police.
There are gray-headed lieutenant
in the regular army. Men who hay
fought confederates and Indian.
Here is a little squirt, son of a goo
Min and good president, promote
over them. This young Logan, vii
has received IN appointment, is tn
creature who appeared in St. Peters
berg with all the medals Of his fathe
pinned on his coat. What is the u!
of talking about equal opportuniti,
in this country.
