COMMUNICATION,

To the Editor of the Superior TINES.
Seeing your announcement of our de-
clslon to assume a new charge at the
close OF this conference year, allow me
to say 1t Is not because of any thing
against this place or people.
Our relations with our church has
been most pleasant. There has not
been word of disagreement or slight
est illfeeling between pastor and church
from first to last.
Every department of work has been
in the utmost harmony. Our relation
with the people and friends outside the
church have been most pleasant in
deed. They have been most kind and
helpful. The calls we felt necessary to
make in the repairing and identifying
of the church were responded to so
kindly that during those extremely
hard times while over a thousand dol
lors has been expended on the church
not dollar of debt has been incurred,
and no one has felt the burden.
During our pastorate thirty-six per-
sons have been received into the church.
Altogether we have had two most de-
lightful years, and while we feel it best
to 90 to a new field yet no one will re-
greet more the sundering of our rela-
tons with this church and people than
we, and as pastor and family we wish
TO record our gratitude to all for the
two exceedingly happy years We have
enjoyed in Superior.

Modern Wars are Brief and De-
cisive.

The war between Spain and the United
States was ended on August y, having
run 4 course of less than four months.
Ali recent wars in which important
members of the worlds family of ma
tons have been pitted against each
other have been of a short and decisive
character Last years war between
Turkey and Greece began April Il and
was terminated by a truce preliminary
to final peace at the end of four and
half weeks. The Greeks had thought
that their superior navy and the esprit
de corps of their people would offset
the great superiority of the Turkish
army. But the Greek fleet accomplished
next to nothing, and the invasion of the
Turkish army was irresistible. The war
between Japan and CHINA showed the
great superiority of the japanese both
on sea and on land, with the result that
d war which began on july p, 1924, was
ended by the utter defeat oil China after
eight months. The great war OF Russia
against Turkey, which began April "a,
1877, came to an end with the russian
army lying just outside of Constantl-
nople nine months later. The Franco
Prussian war, which began July .,
1870, found the Prussians making peace
at Versailles on January Is, 1871. Bis
marck's war eff 1866, n which Prussia
made an attack against Austria, lasted
only seven weeks. Civil wars and IN
surrections have tendency to drag on
for long time; bat all the circumstances
and conditions of modern life are favor
able to brevity and positive conclusions
in wars between distinct nations. Nine
tenth century lie is practical; and ma
tons have lost the hapit of fighting on
and on merely to crafty false sense OF
pride or out Of considerations of hatred
and revenge. The cumulative force of
precedent has helped to make it the
established rule of modern statesman
ship to seek peace with a public adver-
sary on the best terms possible at the
earliest moment when it is clearly ap.
parent that the fortunes of war can
have no favorable turn. To fight on
when there is no hope of victory is to
commit national suicide. Modern pu-
bic oplnion-at least in all countries
having parliamentary institutions acts
forcibiv and senslbly upon questions of
this sort. 1t is not that patriotism is a
wauin. motive in the hearts 81 men,
bat that other motives have come 10

A Hearty Welcome from Cincin-

of the Queen City of the West. when
they come to clasp hands over the camp
fires of the Grand Encampinent of '4S
Of the Grand Army of the Republic,
that will warm the cookies of their
hearts and show to them and to the
world that republics are not ungrateful
but whole hearted and true to the men
who saved the Union and baptized
anew tie flag that was born at LeXing-
ton and hoated in the eternal breeze of
freedom famed by Washington at York
ton.
Not 4 promise made by the dele
gates from Cincinnati to the veterans of
the Grand Army has been unfultilled
not greeting that was promised to the
bovs in blue but will be thrice heart
ened by the people of Cincinnati; not a
door will be closed and not a shout but
of welcome Will greet the veterans of
the Civil War, whose bitter memories
have been laid to rest under the flag
that Dewey tloated over Manila Bay,
that Sampson and SChlev and Shafter
bore to victory in Santiago BAY, and
from Santiago heights, where Northern
and Southern BOYS clasped hands in
token of perpetual amitv against foreign
foes and internal dissensious."
