The CRIME Of war for couou 2,

In no way is war for conquest NOR.
ally better than the work of the burg
lar OF the train robber; and, in,some 70.
spects, it is very much worse. 1t is
fair to assume that majority of the
men who voluntarily engage in q war to
deprive other people of their property
and political rights, are dsat.@sJ rum
goyernable, heartless individuals, of no
great benefit to the world or the coun-
try that arms them and sends them
forth. Such men, If they remained at
home, would be more liable to becom 9
the leaders of destructive mobs than
the promoters of moral and industrial
progress. But the men who fill up the
ranks of the home defending nation
are, as class, the truthful, loyal, buoy
ant spirits of the country. They are
men upon whom the future veal Of the
country depends, and national sadness
and sorrow attend their death. The
killing off of that class of men turns
the hands of progress backward, and
their country, and the cause of civiliz-
alton and progress the world over, suf-
fer loss.
The worst crime which a strong ma
ton can commit, is to engage in q war
for conquest againsta weaker people.
1t is in national affairs as reprehensible,
as wilful murder on the part of an In
diyidual; and the bsneful and far
reaching effects of national crimes
are fully as great In proportion as the
nation is larger than the Individual.
And, again, the evil effects of the crimes
of nations, like the crimes of individ
uals frequently fall upon those In no
manner responsible for the wrong. Our
national sin of slavery was wiped ont
with innocent blood.

fond farewell.

at an expense of about $500, of which
sum $1,000 was contributed by the late

Ing extensive additions and improve
ments to its church, the cost of which
is estimated at $1,000. A. Bruce, of

The period of totality was about thir-
