United States Should Shelter Them.

DR. z. A Wood of the First Baptist
Church, on Eddy street, preached last
evening on the Philippine Islands. He
did not advocate that the United States
should permanently retain the Spanish
possessions. but contended that they
should be released to some other power
than Spain. He said:
II compare the position of -Ae United
States at the present time to that of the
neighbOr who has interfered in behalf Of
a boy who has been continually beaten by
an unmerciful parent. The neighbor
whips the parent, and in order to pre-
serve the boys hide from future torture
ne has taken possession of the lad. We
have the Spanish possessions and there
is but one course remaining. either to
adopt them or to turn them over under
proper protection. BY all means do not
give them back to Spain; she has kept
them in dismal ignorance by her religious
tyranny far long enough"

that it drew attention to the order, and II
is expected that as a result 1t will draw
