SERMON ON WAR.
Bishop Rondthaler's Touching and
Patriotic Words.

Bishop Rondthaler's Touching and
Patriotic Words.
Bishop Rondthaler preached two
strong war sermons at the Home
church Sunday. Large congregations
attended each service and they were
deeply touched.
The Bishop read the war Litany Of
the church for the first time in his
ministry of 30 years.
His text in the morning was chosen
from the 9th Psalms, Sd verse:
Through host should encamp
against me, my heart shall not fear:
though war should rise against me,
even then will be confident"
The Bishop said that while he be-
lieved majority of the American as
well as the Spanish people tried to
avoid war, the ''hot heads" on both
sides had won. However, we must all
stand by our country, continued the
Bishop, who added that there was no
battles. 1t is the duty of every man
and woman to serve our country in
every way possible.
1t is our duty to pay war taxes free
ly; if we are called to the front 1t is
our duty to go and not shirk from it;
if we are called upon to nurse the sick
or wounded. or preach to the soldiers
it is our duty to accept that call.
Everybody owes it to his or her coun.
try to do their share.
Those who go out in the field of bat
tie are as safe In the hands of God as il
they were at home, and the way to
heaven is just as straight and safe,
said the Bishop, who urged those who
stay at home to trust in God. He
spoke of the alarm in business, caused
by the war, but said that God ruled. in
! war just the same as he does in peace
| and He will make the present trouble
with Spain turn out for good.
The Bishop said those who are Lot
willing to fight for their country are
not worthy of the name of Americans
He warned against the danger of over.
| confidence, usinga number of apt illus
trations, from political campaigns
and otherwise. He called attention to

| in both sides in the late civil war
Some said it would only last 80 days
