AGAINST WAR. - War saps the
foundation of humanity; killing is an
objectionable crime against God, for
man is an edifiCe built by the hand
of the Almighty. Peace is life incar-
nate; war is death persOnifed. Peace
is the divine spirit; war is satanic
suggestion. Peace is the light OF the
world; war is stygian darkness and
zimmerman gloom. All the great
prophets, ancient philosophers and
heavenly books have been the har-
bingers Of peace and monitors
against war and discord. This is the
divine foundation; this is the celes-
tial OutpOuTing; this is the basis Of
all the religions of God.
Although the evils of war were evil
dent and manifest to the sages and
scholars, they are now made clear
and plain to all the people. No sane
person can at this time deny the fact
that war is the most dreadful calam-
ity in the world of humanity; that
war destroys the divine foundation;
that war is the cause of eternal
death; that war is conducive to the
destruction Of pOpulOus, progressive
cities; that war is the wOrld-cOnsum-
ing fire, and that war is the most
Fuinous catastrophe and the most
deplOTable adversely.
The world of creation is totally de-
prived of its normal rest; the clash of
arms and the sound of murderOUs
guns and cannon are heard as the
roaring of thunder across the heav-
emily tract, and the explosive mate
rails have changed the battlefields to
yawning graveyaTds, burying for
eternity the cOrpses Of thousands

THE REFORMER.-The sympa-
thetic reformer! How kind-hearted
he is! How he picks up the drunk
ard that the saloOnkeeper throws
out, etc..
Such stories are humorous. They
are read for a laugh. What would
Mr.. Farwell do if he saw a drunk on
the street? The answer is easy, call
a policeman and do his best to have
the man sent to the Brideweu or
fined.
Tell a refOTmer about poor hotel
that is freqUented by unmarried COM
mon people, and see how sympa-
thetic he will act.
His finer feeling will be exercised
by calling the patrol wagon. Even
the policemen who are accustomed
to all kinds of sorrow secretly de-
spise such arrests and proudly say
that they are not the instigatOrs OF
them.
Ask any human being excepting a
refOrmer or an infOTmer how his
feelings are affected by the sight of
some poor girl and her lover in the
patrol wagon or in the morals court.
How about their mothers, broth
ers, ETC.? How about the wife, the
children, the fine, the Brideweu of
the ones you had arrested?
Just imagine the feelings of the
girl and the preacher that was ar
rested at the Art Museum recently.
What awful crime against the mo-.
raj law could they commit on Mich
igan av.? What good motive had
the ones who called the police? Did
they care for the girl? Or did they
show any feeling or sympathy for
her mother, brother or sisters?
The only good that 1 can see from
that arrest is that a teacher Of such
