Conflicting Prayers for Victory.
Congreg ationalist. Boston.

OOnBre& AtlOuallSC, fSOSCOu.
Some persons who do not pray are
mucn disturbed because Of prayers
# red ny Chri.tians in nations ct
war wi % each other. For example,
the New York Evening Post Gays:
I'VE noucs that Bishop Whipple
has directed q prayer In his diOc 81
for the protect N of our soldiers in the
field, but the Spaniards are praying
busily for the prot sctiOn Of their sol.
diers. In every war between Chris
tan nations these conaic ing prayers
have been . scandal ever since the
four alton of Christianity"
1t i. not new idea that God cannot
atterd to pray ers of his children till
they have all agreed on what they
want. But it is an idea not often teri-
"usly ent rtat' ed by ihoee who pr
1t has no more reason In it than there
would be in an exhOrtation to all Chri :

Christians have agreed to do. The ed

prayers have been offer. ever since

One Rescue.

It was during the hardest of the
lighting At Charlottesville that John
Peters, Then OF the One Hundred aud
Fifteenth Peonsylvania, Was shot In
he right thigh, the bullet causing q
compound frac ure. Almost at the
anne instant another bullet hit him In
the left hip and lodge against the
bone. He fell, but attempted 10 rise.
Il had been better for him that he
stayed down, for flying piece of shell
struck him on the head and rendered
nim unconscious.

water, would never bear the Str ain

Review of Revie,

1t is the prevailing opinion nowadays. 1t
is true, that nothing is to be relied upon in

take from two to three or four years TO
build. But IL a great war were forced upon

well be that the torpedoes discharged from

might prove as fatal to the battle ships of
an enemy az the alleged mine i'm the harbor

country where the arts of peace flourish
and prosper is most favorable to the gen

stumble upon the paradox that the success

The 0'Brien scandaI.

New 1Ork HOSt.
BY far the most important army news OF
of the resignation of First Lieutenant
Michael J. O'Brien, Fifth Infantry, which
was to have taken effect on Wednesday.
This officer has a record of misbehavior
such as Is fortunately of rare occurrence In
the service. He was recalled from Japan
the japanese army during the war with
China, because of misconduct for which he
never was brought 10 trial. He was next
heard from as the accuSer of Capt. Ron1eyn,
Fifth Infantry, in the recent trial, which
was the worst garrison scandal tho army
has ever known, and which furnished the
yellow journals with many an item. Lieut..
O'Brien's next escapade was when his regi-
ment went to Chattanooga last summer Or
a practice march, after which he resigned
to escape being court -martialed for mis-
conduct. No sooner had his resignation
been accepted that he went to Washington
and promptly landed in a police station,
being arrested for drunkenness and disor-
derby conduct. Yet this man is actually
allowed to stay in the service, and we are
credibly informed that he will not even be
ordered before "a court-martial.
The explanation of this is to be found in
the press telegram, which says that his res
toration is due to Influential friends"-in
