A Sermon of Cbeer For m Saddened People War For Humanity. ICopyrtiht. 1509. by American Press Asso- 1 elation. WxsiiEfQTON, 3Iay 15. Moit perti nent to the exciting times through which we are now passiog is this ser mon of Dr. Talmage, in which he pro popes to cheer the people who are sad dened by the horrors of war; text. Psalms xxvii, 3, "Though' war should rise against me, in this will I be con fident. V . The ring cf tattleaxes and the clash of shields and the tramp of armies are heard all up and down the Old Testa-, ment, and you find godly soldiers like Moses and Joshua and Caleb and Gid eon and scoundrelly soldiers like Senna cherib and Shalmaneser and Nebuchad nezzar. The high priest would stand at the head of the army and say, "Hear O Itrael, ye approach this day unto bat tle against your enemies, let not your hearts faint, fear not and do not trem ble, neither be ye terrified because of them!" and then the officers would give command to the troopis, saying: "What man is there thci hit's built a new house and hath not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedi cate it. And what man is he that hath planted a vineyard and hath not eaten cf it? Let him also go and return unto his house, lest he die in the battle and another man eat of it. And what man is there that hath betrothed a wife and hath not taken her. Let him go and re turn ucto his house, lest he die in the battle and another man take her." Groat armips marched and fought Iu time of Moses and Joshua all the men were soldiers. When Israel came out of Egypt, they were 600,000 fighting men. Abijah commanded 400,000. Jeroboam commanded 800,000 men, of whom 600, 000 were slain in one battle. Some of theso wars God approved, for they were for the rescue of opprossed nations, and some of them be denounced, but in all cases it was a judgment upon both vic tors and vanquished. David knew just what war was when he wrote in tbe text, "Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident " David is encouraging- himself in stormy, times, and before approaching battles administers to himself the con solatory. So today "my theme is the "Alleviations of War." War is organ ized atrocity. It is the science of assas- j sination. It is tbe convocation of all horrors. It is butchery wholesale. It is murder glorified. It is death on a throne of human skeletons. It is the coffin in ascendency. It is diabolism at a game of skulls. Cut war is here, and it is time now to preach on its alleviations. I Marvelous Providence. First I find an alleviation in the fact that it has consolidated the north atid the south after long continued strained relations. It is 33 years since our civil war; closed, and the violences are all gone and the severities have been hush ed. But ever and anon, in oration, in sermon, in newspaper editorial, in mag azine article, on political stump and in congressional hall the old sectional dif- fn? ba, lifted IU head, and for th. first time within my memory or the memory of any one who hears or reads these words the north and the south are one. By a marvelous providence the family that led in opposition to our government SO years ago is represented at the front in this present war. Noth ing else could have ' done the work of unification so suddenly or so completely as this conflict. At Tampa, at Chatta nooga, at Richmond and in many other places the regiments are forming, and it will be side by side Massachusetts and Alabama, New York and Georgia, Illi nois and Louisiana, Maine'and South Carplina. Northern and southern men will together unlimber the guns and rush upon the fortification and charge upon tbe enemy and shout the triumph. The voices of military officers who were under Sidney Johnson and-Joseph Hook er will give the command on the same side. . The old sectional grudges forever deadT The name of Grant on the north ern side and of Lee on the southern side will.' bo exchanged for tbe names of Grant and Lee on the same side.- The veterans in northern and southern homes and asylums are stretching their rheu matic limbs to see whether they can again keep step in a march and are test ing their eyesight to find whether they can again look along the gun barrel to successfully take aim and fire. The old warcry of "On to Richmond 1" and "On to Washington I" has become the war crry cf "On to Havana!" "On to Puerto Rico!" "On to the Philippine islandsi" The two old .rusty swords that in other days clashed at Murfreesboro and South Mountain and Atlanta are now lifted to strike down Hispanic abominations. Inspired by Mercy. Another alleviation of tbe war is the fact that it is the most. unselfish war of the ages. While the commercial rights of our wronged citizens will be vindi cated that is not tbe chief idea of this war. It is the rescue of hundreds of thousands of people from starvation and multiform maltreatment. A friend who went out under the flag of the Red Cross Wo years ago to assuage suffering in Armenia, and who has been on the same mission, nnder tbe same flag, in Cuba, says that tbe sufferings in Ar menia were a comedy and a farce com pared with the greater sufferings of Cuba. At least 200,000 graves are call ing to us to come on and remember by what procecs their occupants died. It is the twentieth century crying out to the nineteenth: "Do yon mean to pass down to us the curse with which yon have been blasted? Or will yon let me begin nnder new auspices and tarn the island of desolation into an island Edenlc?" v It is a war Inspired by mercy, which is an attribute in man imitative of the same attribute of Gcd. In no other age of the world could ' such a war have been waged. 'The gospel of kindness needed to be recognized throughout Christendom in order to make such a war possible. The . chief reason why most of the European nations are not cow - banded together against us is be cause they dare not take the part of that behemoth of cruelty, the Spanish govevoment, against the crusade of mercy which our nation has started. Had It been on our part a war of ' con quest, a war of annexation, a war of aggrandizement, there would have been by this time enough flying squadrons coming to this country across the At lantic to throw into panic every city on our American seaboard. The wars of tbe crusaders were only to regain an empty sepulcher; the Na poleonic wars, with - their 6,000,000 slaughtered' men, were projected and carried out to appease the ambition of one man.of the 25,000,000 slain in Jewish Mrars, and of the 60,000,000 slain in wars under Julius Ccesar; of the 180,000,000 slain in wars with Turks and Saracens; of the CO, 000, 000 slain in wars of Xerxes: ofrthe 20,000,- 000 slain in wars of Justinian, and the 32,000,000 slain in the wars of Genghis Khan, not one man was sacrificed by mercy, but in this Hispanic-American war every drummer boy or picket or gunner or standard bearer or skirmisher or sharpshooter or cavalryman or artil leryman or engineer who falls alls in the cause of mercy and becomes a mar tyr for God and "his country. . Spain Will Be Free. . . Another alleviation of this war is that it is for the advancement of the sublime principle of liberty, which will yet engirdle the earth. Not only will this war free Cuba, but finally will free Spain. By what right does a dynasty like that stand, and a corrupt court dom inate a people for centuries, taxing them to death, 'riding in gilded chariot over the necks of a beggared population? There afe 10,000 boys in Spain growing up with more capacity to -govern that nation than will the weak boy now in the Madrid palace ever possess. Before this conflict is over the Spanish nation will be well on toward the time when a constitutional convention will assem ble to establish a free government in stead of the wornout dynasty that now afflicts the "people. The libertytof all nations, transatlantic as well as cisat lantic, if not already established, is on the way, and it cannot be stopped. Napoleon III tbought he had success fully driven the principle out of France when,- on the 2d day of December, 1851, he rode down the Champs Elsyees of Paris, constitutional government seemingly crushed under the hoofs of his steed. But did it stay crushed? Let the batteries on the heights above Sedan answer, and the shout of 250,000 con quering hosts and the letter of surren der to Emperor William tell the story. "Sire, My; Brother Not having been able to die in tbe midst of my troops, it only remains for me to place my sword in your majesty's hands. I am, your majesty, your good brother, Napoleon. Sedan, 1 September, 1870." That mon archy having fallen, then the French' republic resumed its march. Another! alleviation is that the war opens with a great victory for the Unit ed States, j It took our government four years to get over the fiasco at Bull Run. ,A defeat a, the start of this preset war would have been disheartening to the last degree and would have invited for eign intervention to stop the war before anything practical for God and human ity had been accomplished and would have prolonged the strife, for which we are hoping' a quick termination. In the most jubilant manner let this victory of our . navy be celebrated. - With the story of the exploding battleship fresh in the minds of the world it required no ordinary courage to j sail into the harbor of Manilla and attack the Span ish shipping. That harbor, crowded with sunken weaponry of death, to enr ter it wad running a risk enough to make all nations shiver. . But Manilla is ours, and the blow has shaken to the foundation the palaces of Madrid, and for- policy's sake the doubtful nations are on our side. For Commodore Dew ey and all who followed him let the whole nation utter its most resounding huzza, and more than that, let us thank the Lord of hosts for bis guiding and protecting power. "Praise ye the Lord. Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord." " A War For the Right. Another alleviation is tbe fact that in .this war the might is on tbe side of tbe right. Again and again have liber ty and justice and suffering humanity had the odds against them. It was so when Benhadad's Syrian hosts, who were in the wrong, at Aphek came up on the small regiments of Israel, who were in the right, the Bible putting it in one of those graphic sentences for which the book is remarkable, "The children bf Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids, hut the Syrians filled the whole country." It was so in the awful defeat of the Lord's people at Gilboa anchMegiddo. It was so recently when gallant and glorious Greece was in conflict with gigantic Mohammedanism; and the navies of Europe hovering about 4the Bosporus were in practical protection of the Turk ish government, fresh from the slaugh ter of 100,000 Armenians. It was so when in 1776 the 13 colonies, with no war shipping and a few undrilled and poorly clad soldiers, were brought into a contest with the mightiest navy of all the earth and an army that com manded the admiration of nations. It was so when Poland was crushed. It was so when Hungary went under. It has been so during all the struggles heretofore for Cuban independence. But now it is our powerful navy against a feeble group of incompetent ships, crawling! across the Atlantic to meet our flotillas, which have enough guns to send them as completely under as When the Red sea submerged Pharaoh's army. It Is so in these times, when on ly a few thousand Spaniards at most can reach our hemisphere, and we co out to meet them withj 125,000 armed men, to be backed up speedily with 500, 000 more if needed. Wi do noi have to ask for any miracle, but only a fair shot at the ships headed this way-and jtime enough to demolish them. This Is one of the cases in the world's history where might and right j are shoulder to shoulder. . ;.- . . ii - " Doom of Spain. 1 ' Another alleviation is in the fact that such an atrocity as the destruction of 266 lives in Havana harbor in; time of peace cannot with impunity be wrought in this age of the world's civi lization. The , questionl as to who did that infernalism is too well settled to need any further discussion. But what a small crime) it was compared with the systematic putting into! their graves of hundreds of 'thousands! of Cubans, or leaving them un buried for the buzzards to take care of. If Fp&Uj could destroy 200,000 men, women and children, tbe slaughter of 266 people was not a very great undertaking. t Bat this one last deed will result in the liberation of Cu ba and the driving of Spain from this hemisphere and the overthrow of that government, which will soon drop to pieces if it does not go down1 nnder bombardment of insulted nations. ! There was danger that the long con tinued oppression of "pur neighbors in Cuba might be continued from genera tion to generation without sufficient pro test on our part and the pronounced exe cration of people on both sides of the Atlantic, but that bursting volcano of destruction in the harbor bf Havana fired the nation and shocked the whole civi lized world. All nations jwill learn that such an act cannot be repeated without the anathema of all Christendom. As inH,VMn.i rimintfl W ha Uict,i for the public good and we : have for them courts of oyer antj terminer and penitentiaries and eleotrio chairs and hangman's gallows, s'o governments com mitting high crimes against God and humanity must be scourged and hung up for the world's indignation. When in Spanish waters our battleship, looking after our commercial interests and in tending nothing but quietude, was hurl ed into demolition and; the men on board, without time to jutter one word of prayer, were dashed ihto the eternal world, the doom of the reigning house of Spain was pronounced iin tones -louder than the thunder which that night roll ed out over the sea Oar Hope In God. Another alleviation is the fact that we have a pod to go to ip behalf of all thosef pur countrymen jwho may be in especial exposure at the front, for we must admit the perils. It is no trifling thing for .100,000 young men. to be put outside of home restraints and sometimes into evil companionship. Many of the brave of the earth are not the good of the earth. To be in.theame tent with those who ;have no regard for God or home, to hear their holyj religion some times slurred at, to be plaoed under in fluences calculated to make one reckless, to have no Sabhath exoetsuch Sabbath as in most encampments amounts t3 no Sabbatn at all, to go. oijt from homes where all sanitary laws are observed into surroundings where questions of health are never discussed, to invade climes where pestilence holds possession, to make long marches under blistering to stand on deck and m the fields r.Si shell, we must admit that those thus ex posed need ; especial care, and to tbe omnipresent God we have a right to commend them and will cpmmend them. Postal communication may be interrupt ed, and letters started from camps or homes may not arrive at the right desti nation, but, however far away our loved ones may be from us and however wide and deep the seas 'that separate us," we may hold communication: with them via the throne, of God. j ' " ( A shipwrecked sailor was found float ing on a raft near the cojast of Califor nia. While in hospital h0 told his expe rience and said that he had a compan ion on the same raft for some time. While that companion -was dying of thirst he said to him, "George, where are you coiner" ana tne aying saiior said, "I hope I am going to GQd. " "If you do," said the rescued sailor,. "will you ask him to send some water?" "After the death of, his companion, the survivor said,the rain came in torrents and slak ed his thfrst and kept him alive until he was taken to safety. The survivor al ways thought it was in answer to the message bo had sent to j heaven asking for water. Thank God we may have di rect and Instantaneous communication with the Lord Almighty through Jesus Christ, bis only begotten Sod,-and in that faith we may secure the rescue of our imperiled kindred I Is not that a mighty alleviation? ' - Until this -conflict is ended let us be much in prayer for our -j beloved coun try. Do not let ; us depend uppa the friendship of foreign.hatlons. Our hope is in God. Out of every misfortune he has brought this nation to a better mor al and financial condition, and so let us pray that he will liftlus out of this valley of trouble into ajbigher moun tain of blessing. - I i v It is a mystery .that ju3t as this coun try was recovering from a long season of hard times so many of our industries should now be halted; that business men who thought ! they could see their way. to pay their ; debts j and build tip more prosperous enterprises" and endow their homes with more ' advantages should have to halt and jwait until the perfidious oppressor of jCuba shall be turned back. But individual and nation al life is always clothed "witbrmysteries, and we may make ourselves miserable by stabbing ourselves with sharp inter rogation points and plying the everlast ing questions of "Why?' and "How?" and "What:" and "When?" While we must, of course, try to b intelligent on til public affairs, it is a glorious thing to do our duty and then) fully and cbn Idently trust all in the hands of. God, ivho has proved himself the friend of our country from ; the time when the Spanish government fitted out an expe dition to discover it to this time when Spaniards would like to,destr5y It I AJaicnery aut B Ended.! Morning, noon and night let us com mend this beloved land to the care of 1 gracious God. That he answers prayer is so -certain thatl your- religion is hallucination if he does not answer It Prayithat in reply to such supplication the farmers' boys may get home again in time to reap the. harvest of next Ju ly, that our business men may return in time to prepare for a fall trade such as has never yet filled the 'stores and factories with customers, and that all the homes in this country now saddened by the departure of father or brother or son may months before the Thankegiv ing and. Christmas holidays bo 'full of joy at the arrival of those who will for the rest of their lives have stories to tell of double quick! march, and narrow escapes, and charges up the parapets, :and nights set pn fire with bombard ment; and our flag hauled up to places from which other J flags were hauled down. - . ': Now that we. have started bn the work! let us make that Spanish govern ment! get out of this hemisphere. We do nclt want her any more, with her in justices and barbarism and stilettos of cruelly hanging around the shores of this free land. She must not breathe her fbul breath on our winds; she must not again redden our seas with, her butchieries. There bids fair to be a scene on the deep as disastrous to the Spanish as that Which whelmed their armada in 1588. jPhilip H, king of Spain, resolved on the conquest of Europe, and already in the compass of bis dominions, besides Spain, were Naples and Sicily, and the Netherlands, and the East Indies, and the Canary and Molucca and Sunda and Philippine islands, and Mexico, and Cu of America. All the nations of the earth except England were to her un derlines, and the Spanish king resolved that even England must bow the; knee. Although the destructive strength of modern! battleships was then unknown, the Spanish anada started for the sub jection cf England with about 140 great ships, with 2,600 guns, 4,000 cavalry horses and 32,000. men. The battleships were prbvisidned with 147,000 cqsks of wine and six months' provisions. The commanders and officers of these war vessels Were dukes and marquises and noblemen. At Plymouth, England, on the 19thjof July, the prominent officers of the navy were in a bowling alley, bowling With great glee Lord Howard, the high admiral; Sir Martin Frobish- er,;the daring explorer, and Sir Francis Drake, the first circumnavigator of tbe world when word ; came to them that the Spanish armada was advancing, The officers continued at tbe game of the bowling alley until the. game was finished and then went out, to investi gate the tidings, and sure enough that mighty fleet which was considered in vincible, and which was to bombard and overthrow England, was approach ing; but the invadin-gnavy was destroy ed, for the Lord Almighty appeared in the fight. I - God Reig-ns , jl A stormj such as 'had never swept th coast of England or aroused the ocean, swooped upon the! Spanish armada. Most of the ships soon went down un der the sea, while others were driven helplessly along to. bo splintered on the coasts of England, Ireland, Scotland and Norway. Another Spanish armada is crossing the Atlantic and we " are ready to meet it. The same! God who destroyed the armada in 1 1588 reigns in 1898. - May he in his might, either through human arm or dumb ele ment, defeat their squadron, and! give victory to the old flag of Admiral Farra- gut andDavid Porter! - j . Yet what the world most wants is Christ, who is coming to take ppsses sion of all hearts, all horn es,-all na tions, but the world blocks the wheels of his chariot. I would like. to see this century, which is now almost wound up, find its peroration in some mighty overthrow of tyrannies and a mighty building un! of liberty and justicei Al most all the centuries have ended- with some stupendous event that transformed I nations and changed the map.of tbei world. It 1 was so at , tbe close of the fourteenth century; it was so at the' close of the fifteenth century; it was so at the close of the sixteenth century; ifT was soat the close of the seventeenth cen tury; it was so at the close of the eight eenth century. May it be more glori ously so at the close of 'the nineteenth century! .'.'Blessed be the Lord Ood of Israel from everlasting to everlasting, and let the whole earth be filled with his glory." Amen, and Amen, t . . Hoir to AJ. rees a Bishop or an XngeU It is : iu Macy to suppose that the title "lorJ, applied to- a bishop, be-! longs to house of Liiu only as a' member of the Jcrds. There is a spfritnal hierarchy 9 well as a temporal peerage, aas as much right to a title and the cna has as tbe other.
