IDEALS OF PATRIOTISM
4 SERMON PREACHED BY REV
 ARTEMAS J. HAYNES.

ence--RighteOusness and Justice Our
 First Duty-The New Ideals Call for
 same Virtues as Old Contest of
 Arms.
 The following sermon was preached by Rev. Artemas J., Haynes in the United church yesterday morning. Rev. MT. Haynes has just returned from the peace conference, and his sermon on New Ideals of Patriotism" has to do with the subject wllich was there con- sidered.
 Mr. Haynes text was: And he shall judge among the nations, and shall re- buke many people: and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks' = Isaiah ii., 4.
 The sermon in full is as follows: These are the words of a great ideal- ist, spoken more than seven centuries before our Christian era. Twenty Live hundred years before Emmanuel Kant wrote of the sweet dream of perpet- ual peace' Isaiah saw in vision a fed erated world. To men in that age it must have seemed, as it seems to men in this, a dream of the impossible. Is ! it not true, however, that all the great achievements of civilization have re- suited from the faet that men dared to i attempt the ideal refused to believe i that what ought to be could not be? It 1 is the glory of our humanity that the ideals of to-day become the realities of tomorrow. And of all the ideals that were ever shaped out of poets dream or prophets vision, this of a world wide peace, a universal brotherhood, is undeniably the grandest. He who sets this idea before him, makes it the ob- ject of his thought, his desire, his ef- fort, may know that he is under the impelling of the highest motive that can enter into the life of man on the earth
 May I say a personal word by way of introducing the sermon that I have prepared this morning? As some of you know I was appointed by this churca a delegate to the peace congress l held last week in New York. l was also one of ( delegation appointed by the mayor to represent the city. Be- cause of this it appeared to me fitting that my sermon this morning should be in the nature of a report. This had seemed simple matter at first felt sure that where other men were saying so much I could find something to say 1 And just here I encountered very real difficulty. The field opened up was SC wide, the discussions so far-reaching and the solid arguments and apt quo- tations so abundant that I found my self caught in an embarrassment of riches. l thought, as I often do, oi what Mir. Darwin said in his journal oi | travels in South America, that the Iflowers grew in places in such profuslor as to tangle and clog the wheels of hi' wagon. had gone hoping to get holt of some great thought, and so many were presented to me that I found i difficult to get hold of any one of then in a vital and realizing way.

 It is because this text so admirabl, summarizes the things that pertain t the great ideal of which I have spoken it is because of this that have chosel it to-day.
