RELIGION AND WARFARE.
Theme Discussed Last Evening by
Gen. George III. Harrtes.


Gen. George III. Harrtes.
Gen. Geo. H. Harries spoke interestingly
last evening at the North Capitol Street
Methodist Episcopal Church on Religion
in Warfare" The occasion was the holding
of exercises appropriate to the commemo-
ration of the twenty-third anniversary of
the founding of the church Maj. Samuel
H Walker and Rev. DR.. Luther B. Wilson,
presiding elder of the Washington district
OF the Baltimore conference, also delivered
addresses.
Gen. Harries said there is a popular i'm
preston that there is no religion in war
There time he said, when this
may have been true, as In the day OF Rome.
The idea came, however, that wars could
be Christian rather than barbarous, and
ultimately the world began to insist that
wars should be just. This idea has grown
steadily, and wars must nowadays be just
to be finally successful Every one recalls
the restraint of the nation prior to the war
with Spain, and how the American govern
ment held itself back until it became
duty for America to fntercede in behalf of
Cuba 1t was not a war based on human
passion. Our duty was imposed by the
Prince of Peace, who beckoned US to feed
His lambs
Gen. Harries spoke at length of the inf1u-
ence of religion upon mis- regiment after
its muster in had been effected. Army re-
ligion, he said, was not formal, but deep
charity that exists in brave hearts. During
the first few days in camp there was ap-
parently religious growth. The men
We're too much engroSsed with Visions CT
victory and longing for warfare. But re-
hgion soon began to assert itself, end it
was afterward demonst rated that the most
God-fearing men made the hest soldiers.
,, "The first time that was impressed with
the appearance of religion among my men
was in a grove on the old Cnickamauga
battlefield, and afterward when the front
was approached it was evident IN the man
ner in which the men cared for the sick,
shared rations, and assisted N the burial Of
the dead Throughout my entire expert
ence in Cuba I found this strong vein of
practical religion asserting itself. Again
and again it demonstrated that the
best fighting men were those who We're
good OF course, there We're lrrelisious men
who were brave and courageous, but before
they were tried one was not always certain
whether they would go up OF down, fail or
win. Confidence could only be had in the
men who it was known could be trusted

THE OYSTER TRADE.
Large Amount of Spoiled stock Con-
demned by Inspector.

1t is understood that some of the captains
of oyster boats plying between points down
the Potomac and this city are complaining
of alleged lack of patronage on the part of
some of the local dealers. They say the
dealers have been getting shucked oysters
from Baltimore and Annapolis, and as a
result of this, they allege, many bushels
of oysters spoiled on their hands during the
past two weeks.
Inspector Harris says he condemned
about 5000 bushels of oysters during the
two weeks mentioned. but he said they
spoiled on account of the unfavorable
weather, and not because of the lack of
trade
oyster dealers, speaking of the charge
made by the captains of the boats, say
they deal where they can do the best.
Shucked oysters, they say, can frequently
be bought at Annapolis, freight paid at
lower rates than are those brought here
on the boats. Dealers about the river front
say the boatmen have no cause for COM
plant.
line oysters coming up the river now,
Inspector Harris says, are much smaller
than usual. Most of them are known re
oystermen as 'Overcoat buttons" because
of their size. Owing to the opening of d
big canning factory and packing house
down the river, it is thought, the supply
of shell oysters will be smaller this year
than usual
