????m?Mw i mmmmmmm man ^9Hk "'War and I'cace." Hail a little of the energy, enthusiasm, the self-sacri/ice, which led to HH^b martyrdom on tlie battle-field, been H? given to the calm consideration of the n^H question at-wstie, when reason and !H? cc-nscjpwCff might have held sway, t*wc^vonrs won hi have been of peace, H not of war. hH One principal reason why the peace9^H ful adjustment of differences has been so long deferred, I believe is that all R|Be governments have been men's govemBu inents, and not the people's governm en Is. Nothing, in God's providence, seems to me more clearly manifest than that r he meant the manly and womanly judgment and perceptions to supplei ment each other, and that wherever f they are separated evil follows; yet r custom and prejudice and indifference have combined to induce women to shrink from the assumption of any responsibility save thatof mitigating the evils which one-sided legislation has brought upon the world. If half the heroic self-devotion with which she has met these evils had been used to avert them, we should have less cause, to-day, to draw so sud a picture of the barbarism of the nineteenth century. If for Florence Nightingale in the Crimean camp, we could have had. Florence Nightingale in Parliament; if, for the heroic women, who sacrificed so ? ?!" billd 111) UJUilJ ? V'UKliiy uiaviuvtv . 4 gaping wounds in army hospital", or search on southern bat tie-fields, by the dim light of their lanterns, to distinr guisli the pallor of the wounded from the ghastliness of the dead;?If for these we had womanly councils, in the Cabinet,?if for women's hands scraping lint on Sundays, and far into the night, we could have had women's brains devising means of conciliation, I trust we should not need to blush to call ourselves a Christian people. A state-paper into which woman's mind """TTfid heart - could help incorporate Christ's doctrine of "peace on earth and good-will to men," would be something more truly, nobly womanly, than I any silken banner, though it bore the the stars and stripes wlxieh her hands could fashion for her brothers marching to battle. The wi'e, whose husband political necessity took from her side, stalwart and vigorous, to return him maimed by shot and shell, or wasted in the prisons of Libby and Andersonville, tells me she has no interest in politics. The mother, who saw her son forego the brilliant opportunities just opening uefore him, to lill an unmarked grave at Ball's BluH' or Port Hudsou, thinks matters of legislation do not concern women. Not concern women? What does concern them, if-not the hearts in their own bosoms,?if not the lives dearer than their own ? It is often given as a reason why wo. men should not share in government, I that she couldn't fight. Let it be a jjfcftt ground of her claim, as it would be Eta. her glory, that she wouldn't fight, save with the weapons of the Spirit. Is*'' Does that seem to be choosing an easy j* field? Believe me it is because it is a hard one that it has not been oftener ??': chosen. It is because moral courage is so rare, that physical courage is made ^ its poor substitute. We cannot be proud or happy enough that recently two of the foremost na?? tions of the earth?one our own?have jjstf met in calm deliberation and settled a question of disputed claim without ap">?' peal to arms. Brains and morals have kj for once, represented these nations. It I is a grand step taken in the interest of peace. A glorious augury for the future. Ci old win Smith says, "Let us never I BMT?ii iui1.! jinny ' statesmanship isj H the ait of avoiding it, ailw' of'making | progress at once continuous and calm." W 'l'his is the statesmanship in which * I believe woman would pre-eminently excel. jgg That the country has need of all the BH - wisdom and discretion it can comr niand, is daily made too painfully ap| parent. In the name of that piece to I which woman has a rightful claim,? peace, which >vas the best gift Christ had to leave as his benediction to his disciple-*,?1 entreat you, my sisters, that you withhold not willingly your best*g;ft, your womanly judgments and instincts, fiom the service of your country in her messing need. I have talked too long, I have left unsaid what I wanted to say. The dark picture detained me, when I would have painted the blessings of peace; peace in its broader aspect,? peace which is something more than not war. .But let me pieau excuse tnat we are enjoined to be "tirst jnor, then peaceable." "God mend all," is the pious ejaculation of the curate, in one of the old plays, when a horrible wrong needing prompt action is brought lo his personal knowledge. "Nay, through God, sir, "we must help to inend it; and I, for one, will not rest till this foul wrong is righted," is the manly answer of a squire standing by. There are wrongs which wemust help right, if we would bring the millennial day of peace. War at our doors is a penalty [which we must meet; hut, to avert it let us even in times of war prepare for peace, by meetingall issues on the right plane of principle. Then not only the spirit of Christmas-tide, hut that our daily lives shall echo the refrain of the poet; "King out a slowly-dying c-iuso, Ami nneient forms of party-strife; King in the nobler modes of life. With sweeter manners, purer laws, "Itlng out old shapes of foul disease: lting out the narrowing lust for gold ; King out tin- thousand wars of old; King lu the thousand years of peace, "King In the valiant man and free! The larger heart, the kindlier hand; liiug out the darkness of the land? Ring in the Christ that Is to be."' Which Will You Do?Prcvcut or Suffer. Look here, my friend! You think that the cause of peace is of but little importance, and refuse t<> do anything for its promotion. You decline to subscribe lor a peace pnper yourself, or to pay for copies for distribution. You neglect to inculcate peace principles in the minds of your children, and teach to stand up for their rights, and to retaliate for injuries. You allow them to read books in which war is defended, and heroes glorified. You adopt; the- motto, "Our country right orj wrong," ami when our government lias a difficulty with another, you cla-j mor for an appeal to the sword. But you have a family of intelligent i and healthy boys, who in a few years | will be old enough and vigorousenough to be soldiers. In a few years, unless public sentiment prevents it we shall have another terrible war, for wars are the results of wrong public sentiment,! and not matters of necessity. Then war meetings will be held which your sons will attend and men who are Will- { ing to sacrifice all their eloquence and; "all their wives' relations" (but 110th-1 ing more) for the good of their coun-; try, or else the deceitful recruiting sergeant will persuade them to enlist. | But perhaps a sufficient number of men cannot be obtained by enlistments: to become "food for powder," and then [ the government resorts to conscription.! It lays its iron hand on some of your, boys, and drags theui away to the camp! and battlefield. You begin to realize! <. some of the results of your indifference to the cnuse of peace, but not all yet. In a few weeks or months news conies that one of your boys is a cripple for life, that another has been killed on the battlefield, and that still another has died in the hospital. Your family circle is broken, your home is desolate and you are left a lonely and brokenhearted old man. And when the war is over, you are taxed $50, $100, perhaps $200 a year to pay for it?a sum which you could never have been per suaded to give for its pievention. And yet wars cun l>e prevented just as certainly as sickness, or intemperance, or slavery, or idolatry. It only needs that public sentiment be right, and you, reader, are in a measure responsible for a correct public sentiment on this subject. Mrs. Greene: "Timothy, what have you done with the letter that was lying on the bureau?" Timothy: "I put into the letter-box, ma'am." Mrs. (i.: "Oil! provoking! Didn't you see that there was no address on the envelope?" Timothy; "Yes, ma'am; but I thought yer didn't want nobody to kuow who you was writin' to." Beliveing is like breathing. As soon us you stop to see whether j'ou are breathing, or whether you really have any breath, instantly the act of breathing becomes hard. Breathe right on! Drink in the fresh air! Don't bother about how you breathe! Only be sure you are breathing the right kind of an atmosphere. Sir Walter Rnleigli asked a favor of Queen Elizabeth, which he frequently did, to which she replied, "Raleigh, when will you leave oft" begging?"? "When your Majesty leaves of? giving," was the reply. fSo long must and may we continue to pray. It was not a hateful character in Joseph, but the love of Jacob for him, which causcd the enmity of his brethren. It is frequently true that we contrast the virtues of others with our own vices, and dislike for them is the esult. Birds always build their nests with reference to safety?safety against the elements, safety against intruders. The trouble with us is that we are not so wise, and some of us build too high, and some of us too low. "The nearer we follow in spirit and life to Christ, the more clearly and fully we shall see of the beauty of the angelic sons "Glory to God in the highest, on earth peace, good-will toward man." God showed me that all my perplexities and trials were only ths thornhedge which his love had planted around me, to preserve me from running farther astray. Mrs. Ada Webster, wife of Dr. Daneil P. Webster, of Brattleboro, Vt., died March 14, 1887, at the home ol Rev. Dr. A. Webster, Orangeburg, S. C.
