WHIP SPAIN.
Rev. Lee w. Beattie Touches on
the Maine Disaster.
For the Sake of Humanity and Love
the United States Should Sweep
Aside Spanish Rule.

Rev. L. w. Beattie preached on the
brotherhood of man Sunday morn
ing, and ia the course of his remarks
alluded to the subject now uppermost
in the minds of all, and the congrega
tion nearly forgot itself enough to
applaud. Among other things, Mr.
Beattie said:
1.-THE spirit of American brother
hood has witnessed with sublime
patience the barbarites of Spain on
innocent Cuba. She has kept sheathed
her sword Of wrath with the sufferance
of Christian gladiator. Let us still
pray without deadly that cruelty
may speedily cease, that tyrannical
rule may vanish of it's own weakness.
But rather than our infant sister,
rocked with the pillows of the Allan
tic and washed with the waves OF
the Caribbean sea, should continue to
hear only the lullabys of SPANS
cruel nurses dirges and finally
perish through inhuman atten-
tion, I say rather than that Love
for Loves sake should rise from
Americas shores and in her divine
strength of Ursus with the bull in
the arena twist off the head of Spain,
that the innocent Lygia might be
saved, and if blood must flow in the
trenches and stain the waters in ma
val combat, let US fortify our Christian
spirit with the remembrance that the
brotherhood of love never founded
his throne on the soil of earth
save through the thirty-three
years of conflict of Loves matchless
king.
If the destruction of the Maine
was designed, we can demand an in
demnity and thereby replace with
money our battleship. But money
can never restore the lives of our
brave marines nor heal the sorrows of
those bleeding hearts that in nearly
300 desolaJe homes cry out for their
loved ones. Nor will it be Of any
satisfaction to ourselves nor benefit
to mankind to shed lDore blood simply
to vindicate our honor and visit
vengeance on another nation. Mr..
Beattie said that, on the broader,
grander basis Of universal brother
hood our hearts are chilled with
cruelty, tyranny and greed
with which we see this
brotherhood imperiled, and for the
sake of that brotherhood, for the sake
of humanity and love, the disaster can
be taken advantage of to.free Cuba
and stop the scenes of carnage there.
