EAST NoRTHrrELD. Mass; Aug. 2o.-The
Rev. DR.. Campbell Morgan OF London, in the
course Of his lecture on the Book Of Exc
dus before the general conference Of Chris
tian Workers, made some unexpected re-
marks about the duty Of America to the
Philippines and the terms on which peace
between Russia and Japan should be made
Humanity can only be taught by hui
mainly" he said. Nations can only be
taught by a national revelation. The
Hebrew nation is yet the nation Of God.
But this Is not the only nation upon which
God has laid his hands. God has certainly
set His hand on this action of America.
He has for 1t a mission as clearly defined
for His purposes as he ever had for the
Hebrews, and II you compare the sins OF
the Hebrews with those Of the Americans
/ think the comparison would be in favor
Of the Americans"
Il think America Is a nation marvelously
blessed. I think Your special mission Is
the evangelization Of the Far East. You
are beginning in the Philippines. In Gods
name may you be delivered from all trickery
Of imperialism in your dealings with those
islands. May You not stop there. China
waits for the evangel and God has caused
this people to enter into the open door.

heart Of the Gar of Russia has not gone
too far This monarch has already lost
one great opportunity. I pray that Gods
will may be done. pray for peace every
