Lord win provide for the boy love /
when distress oEertalzes him.
Brother woodward preached an Eas-
ter sermon April p. In announcing
that q collection would be taken the
following Sunday for the furnishing
people Of India, he extended his re-
marks touching upon the war which
England is waging upon the liberty
loving farmers Of South Africa, and
denounced in no uncertain terms the
unjust and dOmineering course Of the
mother country IN spending sSOOOOOs-
600 to subjugate a free people when
millions Of her caucasian subjects in
India are looking Starvation In the
face, without receiving any very ma
teriaI aid from the Johnny Bulls. He
also conveyed the impression that, had
he the disposition Of the money raised,
1t would be applied to no such purpose
Sunday, the Reverend proclaimed
this gospel to the EOrld-@Paradise is
Under the Shadow Of SwOrdsH-MO-
hammedanism revived. Without a
word Of warning, so far as he is con
cerned he sounded the death lmell to
the hopes and rights Of the two little
South African republics. He would
have England conquer! He would
have that nation the highest civilized
trample the GOd-given rights Of its in
r--=~-- =, EI,o Ir--E ~-,I r--.-oS-o orr7 c1 ~
against whatsoever is cruel-lex taliO-
mis-. Civilization is not the child Of
great armies and powerful navies.
Christ laugh a civilization, ay, a phil
osOphy, that viii Outlast the arma-
ments Of war.
The Dominic reasoned thus: When
one man does wrong to another, a third
party is justified in doing wrong to
him. The Beers, if it is admitted, hold
slaves and are cruel to the natives;
therefore, England is justified in tax
ing away the lives, liberty and proper
" Of the Beers.
The New England cOlOnists were IN
just and cruel to the Indians; there
fore, George III was justified in taking
away their natural and GOd-given
rights.
Two wrongs make a right. a does
wrong to B, which justifies G in doing
wrong to A. B is wronged by a, which
is wrong, while A is wrOnged by c.
which is right.
Evil sometimes eventuates in good
Instance, the selling Of Joseph by his
brethren) Therefore, he that doeth
evil which results in good is not an
evil dOer but a dOer Of good. Slavery
was introduced into America and the
slaves were Christianized, which was
a good thing. Therefore the stealing
Of men and women is good.
Good and bad actions do not consist
in intention or quality Of an act but OF
results. Therefore, let US do evil thai
good may come. st. Paul says Of those
holding these views: "Their damna
ton is just"
When a person Is UnprOgressive and
exclusive in politics or religion, then {
/ progressive person is justified in tax
ing away his property, political and
civil liberty.
It is claimed that the Beers are IN
progressive and exclusive in religion
and politics; therefore, Great Britain
an assumed progressive nation, Is jus
titled in Selling the territory Of the
Beers, and in taking away their civil
and religious liberty.
/ The Puritans were unproTessive IL
politics and religion; prosecuted the
! Quakers and banished the Baptists and
others. Therefore, George III was jus
titled in his oppression Of the colonists
and the depriving them Of civil and re
ligiOUs liberty.
The above arguments are in direct
line with those put forth by Rev
! Woodward Sunday, and if the gentle
man thinks that any undue advantage
has been taken of him, the columns O
this paper are open.
