Peace Assured.

1t is a source of qualification to
every patriot and christian that
peace with Spain is an assured
fact. War is per sc a calamity,
and it should never be resorted to
save as the direst necessity. There
are worse things than war; worse
things than death: but, save when
necessary in the cause Of right and
humanity, it is an evil which can
only be mitigated by an oyerruling
Providence.
Tho blowing up Of the Maine
was the first gun. That began the
war. Spain deserved a drubbing
and she has gotten it in short or.
der. The naval battles Of Manila
and Santiago were miracles, I'm.
paralleled in the history of naval
warfare. Dewey; Hobson, Vain
right, Wheeler, Schley, Sampson,
Shafter have come to the front as
men of genius and fame. Others
equally deserving would have
come to the front If the war had
continued. America has demon.
strated her invincibility. Notice
has been served on the nations of
the earth that God is with repub-
lican Protestant America. Cuba,
long oppressed by a cruel and
avaricious nation, has .been freed;
Porto Rico becomes American
territory; one of the Ladrones he.
comes an American coaling station;
Spain is driven from the West In
dies; the doors Of the West Indies
aud the Philippines have been
thrown open to Protestant mis-.
sionaries; Anglo-Saxon life will be
infused into all those islands; civ.
ilization takes q step forward, and
another milepost has been reached
in the march Of democracy and
evangelism that is to mould all the
kingdoms Of the earth into one
kingdom of the Son Of David
Midland Methodist.
