cnt war Is a righteous one and Is being
waged for civilization.
Rev. Fletcher referred to the hui
name treatment accorded the Beers
by the British in the relief of Kimber-
ly and Ladysmith, and while he ac-
cords Cronje credit in many respects
for his bravery, he condemns him for
retaining women and children as nom
combatants when he had an opportun'
ity to relieve them. The present con-
fict bodies good for the American ma
tion, he says. and the day has gone by
when we should interfere, as the
strengthening of the British possess
sions means the strengthening of ours.
If the war in South Africa Is being
waged for the cause of Christianity.
Rev. Fletcher believes that God should
give the victory to the British, as 1t
will mean greater highways for Chris
tianity. He does not want the Beers
destroyed, but wants them to submit
and enjoy the benefits to be derived
from British possession.
At the conclusion of the lecture, Rev.
J. B. Sweet, of the Simpson Methodist
Episcopal church. offered prayer and
DR.. Moffat introduced the speaker to a
number of his hearers.

Rev. j. ]. X. Fletcher. of Pittston,
gave n very interesting and instruct
i've talk to small but appreciative
audience i'm the Washburn Street Pres-
byterian church last evening on ,rc
"Boer-Brtsh War from the Stand
point of Christianity" The speaker
spent many years in South Africa as a
missionary and is thoroughly familiar
with the country and its people. The
subject he said, is very important
one and should be thoroughly under
stood, as to whether or not it will
tend to the benefit of Christianity
He related the history of the trouble
in South Africa and stated that II
really started at the colonization. The
first war was between the Netherland-
ers and the French in 1906, and there
has been a continued series of hostilities
ever since. The Jameson raid was but
n symptom of disease, and the Boer
preparations for war really began in
1881. The colonies in that country have
come into British possession just as
the Philippine islands have come under
control of the United States and the
governments are justified in forcing
the natives to accent the conditions
offered them.
While it is admitted that there are
many Christians among the Beers.
England is also a Christian nation. and
when 100000 British soldiers were sent
to South Africa, 900 books of the
Gospel of St. John were sent with them.
Five hundred Dutch Bibles were also
sent for the Beers who We're taken
prisoners. Christianity is not all on
one side in the present conflict, and the
English lay equal claim to sympathy
and need consideration.
Out of s23,OOO,O0O paid for taxes, the
Uitlanders paid 100000. 900. and received
no privileges whatever. The efforts to
secure rights and liberties for the Tit
landers really brought about the war
They are deprived of even educating
their children in their own language.
One of the essential conditions is that
the war was forced upon one nation by
the other, and the natives are treated
like dogs and have no recompense
from the injustices done them.
Natives in the Transvaal cannot
cross the farm lands occupied by the
Beers without being detained several
days on each tract and made to work,
and the black man is not deemed,
worthy of consideration. Nine out of
every ten missionaries and clergymen
laboring in that country say the pres

DIED IN HIS CHAIR.

Solomon Arnold, an aged resident of
622 Eynon street, died suddenly yes
terday morning while seated In a chair
at his home. He had been apparently
well previous to his death and was
about his duties as usual a short time
before he expired.
Coroner Roberts made a post-mor-
tenn examination and decided that an
inquest was unnecessary, as death was
due to heart failure. Deceased was

vived by his wife and several grown
up children. The funeral announce :.
ment will be made later.
