Washington, -May 15.—Most perti
nent to tiie exciting times tbruuifli
which wo aro now passing is this ser
mon of Dr. Talniago, in which ho pro
poses to cheer the people who sire sad
dened by tho horrors of war; text,
Psalms xxvii, U, “Though war should
rise against mo, in this will 1 ho con
fident.”
Tho ring of battlcases and tho clash
of shields and the tramp of armies are
card all up and down the Old Testa-
nt, and you find godly soldiers liko
s and Joshua and Caleb and tiid-
eon Ad scoundrelly soldiers likeScnua-
cberiNknd Shalmaneser and Nebuchad-
nezzar.^^L'bo high priest would stand
at the bc^Lof tho army and say, “Hear
O Israel, yi^pproach this day unto bat
tle against jaW enemies, lot not your
hearts faint, ft% not and do not trem
ble, neither be terrified because of
them!” and then tVi officers would give
command to the trooos, saying: “What
man is there that isth built a new
house and hath not Abdicated it? Let
him go and return to his house, lest ho
die in the battle aud another man dedi
cate it. And what man is be that hath
planted a vineyard and hath not eaten
of it? Let him also go aud return unto
bis honse, lest bo die in tho battle and
another man eat of it. Aud what man
is there that bath betrothed a wife aud
hath not taken her. Let him go and re
turn unto his house, lest he die in the
battle and another man take her.”
Great armies marched and fought. In
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. Jeioboam
commanded 800,000 men, of whom 500,-
000 were slain in one battle. Some of
these wars God approved, for they were
for tho rescue of oppressed nations, and
some of them he denounced, but in all
cases it was a judgment upon both vic
tors and vanquished. David knew just
what war was when ho wrote in the
text, "Though war should rise against
mo, in this will I be confideut. “
David is encouraging himself in
stormy times, and before approaching
battles administers to himself the con
solatory. So today my theme is tho
“Alleviations of War.” War is organ
ized atrocity. It is tho science of assas
sination. It is the 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. But war is here, and it is
time uow to preach on its alluviations.
Marvelous Providence.
First I find an alleviation in the fact
that it has consolidated tho north and
the south after long continued strained
relations. It is 83 years since cur civil
war closed, aud tho violences are all
gone aud the severities have been hush
ed. But ever and auen, in oration, in
sermon, in newspaper editorial, in mag
azine article, on political stump and in
congressional hall tho old sectional dif
ference has lifted its head, and for the
first time within my memory or the
memory of any one who hears or reads
these words tho north and tho south are
one. By a marvelous providence tho
family that led in opposition to onr
government 80 years ago is represented
at the front in this present war. Noth
ing else could have done tho work of
unification so suddenly or so completely
as this conflict. At Tampa, at Chatta
nooga, at Richmond and in many other
places tho regiments are forming, and it
will beside by side—Massachusetts aud
Alabama, New York aud Georgia, Illi
nois and Louisiana, Maine aud Sonth
Carolina. Northern and southern men
will together nnlimber the guns and
rush upon the fortification and charge
upon tho enemy aud 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
dead. The name of Grant on the north
ern side and of Lee on the southern side
will be exchanged for the 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 cau
again keep step in a march and are test
ing their eyesight to find whether they
can again look along the gnu barrel to
successfully take aim and fire. The old
warcry of “On to Richmond 1” and “On
to Washington 1“ has become the war-
cry of “On to Havana!” “On to Puerto
Rico!’’ “On to the Philippine islands!’’
The two old rusty swords that in other
days clashed at Murfreesboro and South
Mountain and Atlanta are now lifted to
■trike down Hispanic abominations.
Inspired by Mercy.
Another alleviation of the war is the
fact that it is the most unselfish war of
the ages. While the commercial rights
^of onr wronged citizens will be viudi-
#ted that is not the chief idea of this
It is the rescue of hundreds of
jmsandsof people from starvation and
|tiform maltreatment. A friend who
out under the flag of the Red
ktwo years ago to assuage suffering
lenia, and who has been on the
jission, nnder the same flag, in
lys that the sufferings in Ar-
/ere a comedy and a farce com-
?ith the greater sufferings of
'At least 200,060 graves are call-
i us to come on and remember by
It process their occnpants died. It
r tbe twentieth icntnry crying out to
iae nineteenth: “Do you mean to pass
swu to us the curse with which you
kve been blasted? Or will you let me
rgin under new auspices and turn the
island of desolr.tiou into an Island
Edeoitr*
It is a war inspired by mercy, which
is an attribute in man imitative of the
same attiibute of God. In no other age
of the world could finch a war have
been waged. The grmpel of kindness
needed to bo recognized throughout
Christendom in order to make such a
war possible. Tho chief reason why
most of the European nations aro*. not
now banded together against us is be-
ca.ise they dura not toko the part of
that behemoth of cruelty, the Spanish
government, against tho crasudu 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 tho At
lantic to throw into panic every city on
our American seaboard.
The wars of the crasadors were only
to regain an empty sepulcher; tho 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 wars, and of tho 60,000,000
slain in wars under Julius Ciosar; of
the 180,000,000 slain ill wars with
Turks aud Saracens; of the 50,000,000
filaiu in wars of Xerxes; of the 20,000,-
000 slain in wars of Justinian, and tho
32,000,000 slain in tho 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 falls in
the cause of mercy aud becomes a mar
tyr fer God aud his country.
Spain Will He Free.
Another alleviation of this war is
that it is for the advancement of the
sublime principle of liberty, whieb 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, aud 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 are 10,000 hoys 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 tho woruout dyuaity that now
afflicts tho people. The liberty of all
nations, transatlantic as well as cisat
lantic, if not already established, is on
the way, aud it cannot be stopped.
Napoleon III thought be had success
fully driven the principle out of F-'anco
when, on the 2d day of December,
1851, be rode down the Champs Elsyees .
of Paris, constitutional government
seemingly trashed under the hoofs of
his steed. But did it stay crushed? Let
the batteries on the heights above iscdan
answer, and tho shout of 250,000 con
quering hosts and tho letter of surren
der to Emperor William tell tho story.
“Sire, My Brother—Not having been
able to die in the midst of my troops, it
only remains for mo to place my sword
in your majesty’s hands. I am, your
majesty, yonr good brother, Napoleon.
Sedan, 1 September, 1870.’’ That mou-
arehy having fallen, then tho French
republic resumed its march.
Another alleviation is that the wnr
opens with a great victory for the Unit
ed States. It took our goveruiuent four
yea’s to get over the fiasco at Bull Run.
A defeat at the start of this present 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 aud human
ity hud been accomplished aud would
have prolonged the strife, for which we
arc hoping a quick termination. In the
most jubilant manner let this victory
of onr navy ba celebrated. With the
story of the exploding battleship fresh
in the minds of tho world it required
no ordinary courage to sail into tho
harbor of Manilla and attack the Span
ish shipping. That harbor, crowded
with sunken weaponry of death, to en
ter it was running a risk enough to
make all nations shiver. But Manilla
is ours, aud the blow has shaken to the
fonndation the palaces of Madrid, and
for policy’s sake tho doubtful nations
aro on our side. For Commodore Dew
ey aud 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 tho Lord.
Let everything that hath breath praise
the Lord.’’
A War For the Right.
Another alleviation is the fnet that
in this war the might is on the side of
the right. Again and again have liber
ty and justice aud suffering humanity
had the odds against them. It was so
when Benhadad’s Syrian hosts, who
were in the wrong, at Aphek came np-
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, “Tho
children of Israel pitched before them
like two little flocks of kids, bnt the
Syrians filled the whole country.” It
was so in tbeawfnl defeat of the Lord’s
people at Gilboa aud Megiddo. It was
so recently when gallant and glorious
Greece was in conflict with gigantic
Mohammedanism, and the navies of
Europe hovering abont the Bosporus
were in practical protection of tho Turk
ish goverumeut, fresh from tho slaugh
ter of 100,000 Armeniaus. It was so
when in 1776 the 18 colonies, with no
war shipping aud a few uudrilled and
poorly clad soldiers, were brought into
a contest with the mightiest navy of
•’.1 the earth aud an army that com
manded the admiration of nations. It
was so when Poland was crushed. It
was so when Hungary went under. It
baa been so during all the struggles
heretofore for Caban 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 Pbaraoh’i
army. It Is so in these times, when on
ly a few thousand Spaniards at moat
can reach onr hemisphere, and wc go
out to meet them with 125,000 armed
men, to bo backed npspeedily with 500,-
000 more if needed. Wo do not huvo to
nek for any mirac! \ but only a fair shot
at tho ships headed this way and time
enough to demolish them. This is one
of tho cases in the world's history
where mizht and right aro shoulder to
shoulder.
Doom of Snwln.
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 tho world’s civi
lization. The question 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 uuburied for the buzzards
to take care of. If Spain could destroy
200,000 men, women aud children, tho
slaughter of 266 people was not a very
great undertaking. Bnt 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 down under
bombardment of insulted natious.
There was danger that the long con
tinued oppression of our neighbors in
Cuba might be continued from genera
tion togenerfftiou without sufficient pro
test on our part aud the pronounced exe
cration of people on both sides of the
Atlantic, but that bursting volcano of
destruction in the harbor of Havana fired
the nation and shocked the whole civi
lized world. All nations will learn that
such au act cannot be repeated witboat
the anathema of all Christendom. As
individual criminals must be punished
for the public good and we have for
them courts of oyer and terminer and
penitentiaries aud electric chairs aud
Liaugman’s gallows,so governments com
mitting high crimes against God and
humanity must be scourged and hung up
for tho world’s indignation. When in
Spanish waters our battleship, lookiug
after our commercial interests aud in
tending nothing but quietude, was hurl
ed into demolition aud the men on
board, without time to utter one word
of prayer, were dashed into the eternal
world, the doom of the reigning house
of Spain was pronounced in tones louder
than the thunder which that night roll
ed out over the sea.
Onr Itopa In God.
Another alleviation is the fact that
wo have a God to go to in behalf of all
those of onr countrymen who may ho in
especial exposure at tho front, for we
must admit the perils. It is no trifling
thing for 100,000 young men to be put
outside of homo restraints aud sometimes
into evil companionship. Many of the
bravo of the earth are not tho good of
tho earth. To b3 in the same tent with
those who have no regard for God or
home, to hear their holy religion some
times slurred at, to bo placed under in
fluences calculated to make one reckless,
to have no Sabbath except such Sabbath
as in most encampments amounts to no
Sabbath at all, to go out from homes
where all sanitary laws aro observed
into surroundings where questions of
health are never discussed, to invade
climea where pestilence holds possession,
to make long marches under bli.-tering
skies, to stand on deck and in the fields
under fire, at the mercy of shot and
shell, we must admit that those t!ius ex
posed need especial care, and to tho
omnipresent God wo have a right to
commend them and will commend them.
Postal communication may bo 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 he from us and however wide
and deep tho seas tout separate us, wo
may hold communication with them via
the threue of God.
A shipwrecked sailor was found float
ing on a raft near the coast cf Califor
nia. While in hospital be told his expe
rience and said that he had a compan
ion cu tho same raft for some time.
Whilo that companion was dying of
thirst he said to him, “George, where
are you going?" aud the dying bailor
said, “I hopo I am going to God.” “If
you do,” said the resoned sailor, “will
you ask him to send some water?” After
the death of his companion, tho survivor
said, tho rain came in torrents and slak
ed his thirst and kept him alive until he
was taken to safety. The survivor al
ways thought it was in answer to the
message he had sent to heaven asking
for water. Thank God we may have di
rect and instantaneous communication
with tho Lord Almighty through Jesus
Christ, his only begotten Sou, and in
that faith we may secure the rescue of
our imperiled kindred! Is not that a
mighty alleviation?
Until this conflict is ended let ns be
mneb in prayer for onr beloved coun
try. Do not let ns depend upon tho
friendship of foreign natious. Onr hope
is in God. Out of every misfortune he
has brought this nation to a better mor
al aud financial condition, and so let
us pray that be will lift os oat of this
valley of trouble into a higher moun
tain of blessing.
It is a mystery that just as this coun
try was recovering from a long season
of hard times so many of car industries
should uow be halted; that business
men who thought they could see their
way to pay their debts aud build up
more prosperous enterprises and endow
their homes with more advantages
should have to halt and wait until the
perfidious oppressor of Cnba shall be
turned back. But individual and nation
al life is always clothed with mysteries,
and we may make ourselves miserable
by stabbing ourselves with sharp inter
rogation points and plying tho everlast
ing questions of “Why?” and “How?”
and “What:” aud “When?” While we
mast, of oourse, try to be intelligent on
all pablio affairs, it is a glorious thing
to do onr duty and then fully aud con
fidently trust all in the bauds of God,
who has proved himself the friend of
our country from the time when ti
Spanish government fitted nut an ex)
dition to discover it to this tiine who..
Spaniards would like to destroy it.

the rest of their lives have storms to
tell of double quick march, aud narrow
escapes, uud charges up the parapets,
aud nights set on tire with bombard
ment, aud our flag hauled up to places
from wLich other flags were hauled
down.
Now that wo have started on the
work lot us make that Spanish govern
ment get out of this hemisphere.’ We
do not want her any more, with her in
justices aud barbarism and stilettos of
cruelty hanging around the shores of
this free land. She must not breathe
her foul breath on our winds; she must
not again redden oar seas with her
butcheries. There bids fair to be a scene
on the deep as disastrous to the Spanish
as that which whelmed their armada in
1588. Philip II, king of Spain, resolved
on the conquest of Europe, and already
in the compass of bis dominions, besides
Spain, were Naples and Sicily, aud tho
Netherlands, aud the East Indies, aud
the Canary aud Molucca and Suuda aud
Philippine islands, aud Mexico aud Cu
ba and some of tho most splendid parts
of America. All the nations of tho
earth except England were to her un
derlings, aud the Spanish king resolved
that even England must bow the knee.
Although the destructive strength of
modern battleships was then unknown,
tho Spanish armada started for the sub
jection of England with about 140 great
■hips, with 2,600 guns, 4,000 cavalry
horses and 32,000 tuuu. The battleships
wore provisioned with 147,000 casks of
wine and six mouths' provisions. The
commanders aud officers of these war
vessels were dukes and marquises aud
noblemen. At Plymouth, England, on
the IUth of July, the prominent officers
of the navy were in u bowling alley,
bowling with great glee—Lord Howard,
the high admiral; Sir Martin Frobish
er, tiie daring explorer, aud Sir Francis
Drako, tho first circumnavigator of the
world—when word came to them that
the Spanish armada was advancing.
Thu oflicers continued at the game o?
tho 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 iu-
, vincible, and which was to bombard
i and overthrow England, was approach-
j ing; but the invading navy was destroy
ed, for tho Lord Almighty appeared in
: the fight
God RHffn*.
A storm such us had never swept the
! coast of England or aroused the ocean,
swooped upon tho Spuuijh armada.
Most of the ships soon went down un
der the sea, whilo others wero driven
helplessly along to bo splintered on the
coasts of England, Ireland, Scotland
aud Norway. Another Spanish armada
is crossing tho Atlantic aud we aro
ready to meet it. Tho same God
who destroyed tiie armada in 1588
reigns in 1808. Maybe in bis might,
either through human armor dumb ele
ment, defeat their squadron, and give
victory to the old flag of Admiral Furra-
gut aud David Porter!
Yet what tho world most wants is
Christ, who is coming to take posses
sion of all hearts, all homes, all na
tions, but the world blocks the wheels
of bis chariot. I would like to see this
century, which is now almost wound
up, flud its peroration in some mighty
overthrow of tyrannies aud a mighty
building np of liberty aud justice. Al
most all tho centuries have ended with
some stupendous event that transformed
nations and changed the map of tho
world. It was so at the 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; it was
so at tho 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 God of
Israel from everlastiug to everlasting,
and let the whole earth be filled with
his glory. ” Amen, and Amen.

How to Adtlrr** n Hlahop or on AnB*i.
It is a fallacy to suppose that tho
title “lord, ” applied to a bishop, be
longs to him only as a member of the
bouse of lords. There is a spiritual
hierarchy as well as a temporal peerage,
ami the one Ins us much right to n title
as the other. Just as a priest was styled
"sir,” so a bishop is a “lord,"and
graduates aro still culled “domiui” at
tho universities. In Elizabeth’s time
the suffragan bishop of Dover was styled j
“My lord of Dover.” The following j
extract from a letter written by tho '
Right Hon. R. A. Cross, secretary of |
state (now Viscount Cross), to the arch- j 11:1
bishop of Canterbury, May 22, 18,4, , , ;;n „. sist .
reads:
“There is ample documentary ovi-
dottco that the predecessors of tho pres
ent bishops suffragan were, up to the |
disuse of their office in the reign of
James I, every whit, whether by right ;
or courtesy, as much ‘lord bishops’ aa
tho diocesans peers of parliament.”
See more in Crockford’s Clerical Dic
tionary, 1896, page 78.
Moreover, the angels of the seven
churches iu Revelation ii and iii are
commonly understood to be bishops, aud,
according to our English Bible, tho
proper way to address au angel is “My
lord.” See Genesis xix, 18; Judges vi,
13; Daniel x, 17; Zechariah i, 9; iv, 5,
etc.—Notes aud Queries.
