the theories Of this learned theological
are correct either as a philosophy or
religion
If war and war alone is the correct
or Of evil. then on what hypothesis
does he base the coming ON earth OF
the Prince Of Peace?"
If We unchain Satan and the min
ions Of he'll with him, and let them
stalk the earth, shall we expect in
justice to flee before them and the
Blessings Of bountiful peace to follow
in their footsteps?
Hell, with all the meaning that t
implies, is Gen Sherman's definition
Of war, and does Or. Abbott tell Us
that justice is its ministcring hand
maiden and plenty and contentment
its harvest?
Was it so when barbarians fought
barbarians, or has it ever been 50
when enlightened nations met each
other on the field Of mortal combat to
fight out their grievances? Was gen
tleness, justice and everything of good
report at any time the legitimate har-
vest of war
In his book, entitled Destruction
and Reconstruction" printed in 1877.
Gen. Richard Taylor deyotes several
pages to recounting the pronigacy, cor
ruption and bitter and intense hatred
following in the wake Of our civil
war.
To recapitulate all that he says
would be but to open afresh the fes-
tering sores Of those evil times which
perhaps are better undisturbed, but he
ends several pages in the most classic
description Of the dissolute, luxuri.
Gus and proiigate corruption he found
al the seat of government, that would,
he says, have put to the blush the
age of Nero:
The years of Methuselah and the
pen Of Juvenal would not suffice to
exhaust the list, or depict the benight
ed state into which we had fallen; but
1t can be asserted of the popular idols
Of the day that, unveiled they re
sembled Mokanna. and can each ex
claim:
@ Here, judge if hell, with all his pow

Can add one curse to the foul thing

That was the condition of the NOR

throned? We had rather believe with
John Mitchell the organizer OF com
mon labor, than with the eminent tho
)logian who edits the Outlook.
John Mitchell says In the same nuai
Der OF Life"
My judgment is that in very much
less than one hundred years the dis
armament Of nations and the perma-
nent establishment of international
peace will be consummated. There
are many forces now at work in this
direction, among which none Is NOR ;
important than the organized labo
and as this movement Of
labor Srows in strength and influence
throughout the world, as the doctrine
Of the brotherhood of man which Il
eXemplifies finds Judgment in the
hearts of all men, their determination
TO refuse to fight to kill their broth

And John Mitchell might say that
there is another movement on foot
that will hasten the end of the fork.

hat will be when the ballot is welded
by the mothers of this land.
The ballot in their hands will be

the other universal peace
