Hunt, Division Passenger Agent, Charleston, S. C. Los Angelos, Cal., July —In this sermon a new aspect is ftiveu to the patriotic holiday. The t< \t is III John 1-f, "Our friends salute thee.” God pity the man without a country! God pity such a man as Philip Nolan, whom Edward Everett Hale pictures in Ids famous story, who, on account of Ids own sins, has lost tin* confidence and the respect of the people among whom be was born and who on account of those sins Is excluded from the land of his birth! God pity the man who does not glory In the sacrifices and tri umphs of his nation’s heroes and hero ines, who docs not live In his country’s hopes and who does not feel a thrill of honest pride when he mentions tils birthplace and avows, as did Paul, "1 am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city In Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city.” God pity, I say again, the man who does not feel In every part of his body, mind and soul that the laud of Ids nativity is the best place in all the world In which to be born, that bis 1**0- ple are tlie best people In all uie world with whom to associate, docs not hoiie that the place of his cradle will be tin* place of his sepulcher! Such is tlxi patriot's boast where’er we roam; His first best country ever is at home. “That man is little to be envied,” wrote Inch Kenneth, “whose patriot ism would not gain forts; upon his country’s plains of Marathon and whose piety wonkl not grow warmer among her ruins of Iona.’’ That Amer ican's life is not to be envied who, with a cold, lethargic temperament and unmoved heart, could go and look at the Lexington commons, where a little handful of farmers dared defy the British soldiers, or uikjii Breed's hill, commonly called Bunker Hill, where the first cannon sounded forth the call for the minutemeu to rally for America’s liberties, or upon Valley Forge, where in the awful winter of 1777 and 1778 George Washington and his brave wife shivered and shook in camp with the common soldiers, or up on old Independence hall 0/ Philadel phia, where the immortal document of the Declaration of Indejiendonce was signed, or upon Yorktowu. where Cornwallis and his officers were eom- peiled to surrender their sworls to the allied French and American troops, which surrender practically ended the bloody conlliet Hor American freedom. But as I liegan to think over my ser mon which was to pre'*edc our national holiday of the Fourth of July.I said to myself: “Have we truly triumphed over England? Are we truly Independent of our mother land? Has not the Brit ish nation conquered us In truth and in fact? lias sh<* not and does she not annually send over great Invading ar mies and annually demand that we pay her not only gold, hut things more precious than gold? Yes, yes," ] said to myself, "England is not a conquered rival, but a conquering friend. In tend of preaching a 1 wit riot ie sermon to show l ow the American nation has Irimnphed over the British empire 1 will twist my theme around. I would tell how the British empire has con quered America. And when 1 show how the British empire has conquered us 1 will glory !h that conquest, for as England an'l Scotland and Ireland have put their Impress upon us, so we in turn through them are helping to put our Impress upon the whole wor! for civilization and for Christ.” How tin* JlrttiNti t'on«|ti<*re<l America. The British empire, in the first place, has conquered America by the power of the tongue. The first words that we learned to lisp at our mother’s knee, the words that we shouted on the play ground and spoke before the school desk, the words that we read In the morning newspaper and* in library book and hear from our lecture plat form and pulpit are English words. The language of the American i»eople is tin* language of England’s rose and of Scotland’s thistle and of Ireland's shamrock. The same tongue we speak was spoken for centuries in the British isles. Therefore, though a new nation was born on July 4, 1770, it was not a new race. It was simply the Goddess of Liberty as a bride leaving the old English homestead and setting up in housekeeping for herself. She still be longed tw the old Euglish family. She still spoke the mother tongue. Mon* than that, slie was dominated by her mother’s accustomed ways of thinking and doing things. And this tie of lau guage which binds the American peo ple to their British kindred cannot be found binding us to any other nation on earth. When two nations like the British people and the American people speak the same language they must inevlta bly be one in feeling. It does not make much difference who sits upon the English throne or who Is in America’s presidential chair, the two nations are one. They are one because they have ! the same teachers. They are one be ! young. I have heard from my father, a pioneer In Kentucky, that in the early days of tlds century men would saddle their horses and ride from all the neigh boring counties tn the principal post town of their region when a new novel by the author of ’Waverley’ was ex pected. Through all the important formative days of the republic Scott was the favorite author of tin* Ameri cans, and, while his writings may not be said to have had any special weight in our material and political develop ment, yet their influence was enor mous upon fho taste and the senti ments of a people peculiarly sensitive to such influences from the very eir- | cumstuuces of their environment." | What John Hay said in reference to the influence of the pen of the* Wizard of Abbotsford upon America can be said to 11 greater or a less extent of nil the leaders of English and Scottish and Irish thought. KiirIiiimI’n AnaMM-tatlona. British thinking <•nnnot.be divorced from American thinking. To the Amer ican mind a map of the British Isles Is not a mere collection of cjt y or town names. Each spot has Its sacred his tory on account of the men who have lived there and whose fields of influ ence were transatlantic as well as cis- athintie. Some years ago I rode through Scotland and England on a bicycle. Prom Glasgow 1 went to Ayr. There I found that my youthful Idol Burns, once lived. From Ayr I went to Ban nockburn and Stirlii^ castle. There I found that Bunker Hill was only an echo of Stirling castle. Those old Scot tish chiefs inspired America's inde pendence. From Bannockburn I went to Edinburgh. There I stood at the graves of Guthrie and Chalmers and vies, she has not won her American ! tory by a small number of end if nils. From Glasgow and Liverpool ..ml London during the last hundred ? ears she has sent forth her best sons an 1 daughters by the hundreds of thou sands and by the millions. Still that Invading army is calling across the Atlantic for more re-enforcements. ■S*‘ud me my brother and sister,” calls ' aik the Irish servant girl to her par ents on Killaruey lakes. *T,ct them come to me, and I will pay their way." "N •ml me the girl I once courted among the highlands or wooed under the shadow of Linlithgow while 1 read to her the tragic story of beautiful yueeii Mary, who was born among yonder hills,” writes the young Amer icanized .Scotchman wlifcis winning u fortune in the new world. “Send me ny sisters and let them flee the Lon don fogs,” writes the young English man who is running a Texas ranch. Ah, yes, the invading army of the British empire is growing. Her sous and daughters have been rapidly mak ing a success among Michigan hills, and Georgia pines, and western prai ries, and in metropolitan New York. Am I wrong in stating that the British empire has again laid siege and cap tured Bunker Hill, with her Immi grants every year coining Into New York harbor? But the British empire demands from us her annual exports of gold. We are told that the American struggle for lib erty was brought* to a climax when King George’s prime minister demand ed that the thirteen colonies pay a tax on tea. The Boston tea party was or ganized. One dark night a uunilier of young men, armed to the teeth, entered those ships and tossed overboard all l.eut into John Knox's okl home and | ibe boxes containing that imported tea. r ecognized these men as my teachers. | “Taxation without representation is From Edinburgh I went dowu to the wrong!” the people cried. "We will not hike region and there found its poets, l>:i y a cent to the British throne until my poets. There I reverently stood by ■ King George allows our people to vote tlx* roadside while a nurse led John j in the Imuse of commons." But when Ruskiu past me -John Rustic then George Washington took the oath of with his mind a Melrose abliey In ruins, j office as president of the United States but John Ruskiu still—who wrote the : did‘we then cease to have any further books that are on my library shelves, dealings with British gold? From there I went up to London. Al- | , he couwt l,» British Capital, most every phxv 1 Ntopi**d I could go Have you as a rational man ever and find the grave of one of America s | to consider how many Aineri- benefactors. England has conquered America by the power of the tongue. Because the same linguistic doors are opened to l>oth people the two nations are one in sympathy and one in Hfe. There is an old saying among the Spaniards, Inmbus set sail from Spain and dls- eovered America, but not until Wash ington Irving set sail for Spain was the Alhambra discovered for the Americans.” That Is true. From near ly all foreign lands are we separated by the great "towers of Babel, the towers of unknown tongues.” Around these or over these but few of us have :*an industries have been fostered and bulk up by British capital? The Brit ish workmen have come here by mil lions and settled in our land and taken out naturalization papers. But the British capitalists, although many of them have never crossed the seas, have sent their moneys here and invested them here by the millions and millions of pounds. The British capitalists are saying to our miners, “You run my mines;” to our railroad men, “You run my railroads;” to our stueet electric* car fine presidents, "You run my street railways." Yes, the British capitalists Imve their moneys Invested In our the linguistic ability to go or to climb, (country by the millions of dollars. If But, though between us and England roils the Atlantic ocean 2,000 miles wide, the bridge of a common language spans it. Over that bridge every day walk tlx* British stAtesmen, tlx* Brit ish reformers, tlx* British authors, the British preachers, the British leaders of thought. The British empire has conquered us by the tongue, hut not by that alone. Every year six* sends over a great in vading army. This army of invaders are stout of muscle and clear of eye and brave of heart. They have the bravery to cross the seas. Yes, but they are also brave enough to bring along their wives and children, and gold, and picks, and shovels, and ma sons' trowels, and plumb lines. They plainly and bluntly declare that they have conx* to capture our lands, and sit uiHiti our mercantile thrones, and form their colonization settlements. Aixl as soon as they can get a foothold here they say they will send over for their fathers and mothers and brothers and sisters to come and live with them In their new homes which they have built* in the new land and which they arc* already beginning to rule. We AirI iu America the English and the Scotch and the Irish families every where. Supposing I should ask all those whom I address to arise ami sa. who were born in the British Isles and who are sons and daughters and grand children of ancestors who were born there, how many do you suppose would stand up? A twentieth? A tenth? A fourth? Yes, 1 think u fourth or even a third is not overstating the numbers. When the original thirteen colonies won their national Independence we had all told in tlds country between three and four millions of people. We then hud a smaller population than has the present city of New York. In a lit tie over a hundred years we have near ly SO.OOOJxtO inhabitants. Whence did these people come? From the Anieri can cradle? . Yes. The American stork has budded her nests in the chimneys of many homes. But the American stork from 4,000,000 parents could not produce 80,000,000 living descendants In a little over a hundred years. The vast numbers of the American Inhabit ants today came over as emigrants from Europe or their fathers or grand fathers came thus. And by far the largest proportion of these emigrants came as an invading army from the shores of England and Scotland and Ireland. The Great Britteh Army. Great is the British army of emigra tion! England defeated Napoleon Bo naparte at Waterloo with an army of less than 70,000 men. The British em- eause they have tlx* same legends. They i pire hurled buck the Russian Slav from are one because they naturally think alike, whether they will or no. This fact was beautifully illustrated some years ago when John Hay, then Amer ican ambassador to I^ondon, spoke at the unveiling of the bust of Sir Walter Scott In Westminster abbey. “The books a boy reads,” said Mr. Hay, "are those most ardently admired and longest remembered, and America reveled In Scott when the country was the shores of the Black sea In the Cri mean war with an army of only 80,00o men. Havelock fought bis way up from the coast to Lucknow and Uawn- pur with only 1,200 men. Robert Clive, afterward Tx>rd Clive, subjugat ed the whole Indian empire with only a few thousand troops. But. though tlx* British empire has won many successes on land as well ns on sen with small armies and na- all British capital were to be with drawn from our manufactories and railroad stock and mining Industries this country would hear the, most aw ful financial crash the world has felt -hue man began to buy and sell for barter and gain. And, furthermore, j one of the surest guarantees tliat Eng land will never go to war against America Is that, as a financial nation, she cannot afford to do so. She would not only he lighting her own sons and daughters, but she would lie destroy ing her own pocketbook. The British immigrant Is here. The British mil lions are invested in American coal as well as in Sheffield cutlery or Manches ter factory or Belfast linen or Glasgow mills. If the British empire dominates us in 1 linguistic and social and Industrial , way, how much more does she influ- 1 cnee us in a religious way! Stippos I ing our churches had been the out- i growth of the Spanish cathedral in- : stead of the Scottish kirk. What would have happened? Supposing the men who laid tlx* religions foundations of our theological seminaries had come ; from another class than the Puritans, dominated by the spirit of Rex’. Jehu Robinson. Supposing the men .who I taught us our Ideas of morality and right had not been inspired by the i teachings of a John Knox. Would we I still be the nation whose God is Lord, as we are today? Thunk God that the gospel fires which are today burning I upon American hearths were once | started by the live coals of the old ' Puritans and the old covenanters. Thu spiritual lips of many ceuturh 1 * are pleading from our pulpits today, not spiritual lips which have been bom within the last century. One of the most dramatic and pathetic stories ever told was that of Cyrus W. Field when he described before the New York chamber of commerce “The Sto ry of the Atlantic Cable.” For thir teen long years this persistent oper ator had struggled against contempt and ridicule of all sorts. At last the cable was successfully laid. Then the Great Eastern sailed out to sea to grapple for the cable, which had been lost In midocean the year before. Two miles and a half the grappling hooks sank to the bottom of the ocean. Day after day and week after week the work went on. At last the grappling hooks caught. Slowly and surely from its bed of primeval ooze the lost cable was lifted up. But no sooner did the end appear above the surface of the son than the men raised a cheer. Then like a frightened creature it seemed to tear Itself away and fall back to Its old couch. Cyram W. Field’s Courage. Again and again went the huge grap pling irons over the ocean bed. At last the hooks again caught. Slowly and surely this time the cable was again lifted. “Only when It was brought over the bow and on to the deck did the men dare to breathe,” said Mr. Field. "Tbcu we carried It along to the electrician's room to see if our long sought treasure was livin'* or dead. A few minutes of suspense, and It told of the lightning current again set free. Then did the long peut up passions of the men burst forth. Home turned away their heads and wept, others broke into cheers. Then, with thankful hearts, we turned our faces to the west. But soon the wind rose, and for thirty-six hours we were exposed to all tlx* dangers of an Atlan tie storm. Yet in the very height and fury of tlx* gale as I sat hi du elec trician's room a flash of light came from tlx* deep telling me that those so dear to me whom 1 had left on the banks of tlx* Hudson were well and following me with their wishes and their pray* rs. This was like a whisper of God from the sea bidding we keep heart and hope.” And so, like Cyrus \V. Field, when I am sailing over the troubled seas of America's life I find a supernatural power speaking to me. i From my hand there is an Inspired ! oalde running. It reaches not, how- j ever, to tlx* living of tlx* earth, but j to the living of heaven. It runs clear | back to the Massachusetts Plymouth | colony; clear back to Scrooby manor j house; clear back to the Scotch cov enanters. The old religious leaders of ; England and Scotland and Ireland are speaking to me and saving: “Be of good courage, ye American peopl *. The same God whom we worship you worship. The same God who watched over us in the ages past is the same God who will lead the English and the American peoples now forward in the great work of the civilization and the Christianization of the round world redeemed from sin.” Enfrlnnd and America. As I believe the Britisli empire, tin der God, has religiously made this na tion what it is, so I hope that the Brit ish empire and the American people, side by side, are going to dominate tlie world everywhere for Christ. It is all folly for any one to state that the American government ami the British government are not working hand in hand. When war was aliout to be de clared against Spain In order to liber ate downtrodden Cuba, some one said to Mr. McKinley: "How is England? Will England uphold you in this war?” Then the president replied: “England is all right. England Is America’s friend.” Aye, yes, the British govern ment is our friend. She will always be our friend. Side by side the two English speaking nations shall yet settle the Asiatic troubles. Side by side they will yet settle the African and tlx* Tuvkish troubles. As their Christian missionaries In foreign lands are now working for a common Chris tian church, so ultimately their Chris tian soldiers shall yet work side by side to right all civil wrongs and to make war In the future an Impossi bility, for tlien public opinion and pub lic policy will never be allowed to be unjust. Why am I preaching this as n Fourth of July sermon? Because I feel that it is about time for some one to lift a voice and rebuke the prevalent idea that England is our enemy, and that England, or, rather, the British em pire, is jealous of us, or that we nr<* jealous of England. I denounce the Idea that, at the first chance, England and America, like maddened tigers, will leap at each other’s throat. The second reason why I preach this ser mon Is that I would turn our thoughts in love toward England and thereby hasten the work which the two na tions, hand In hand, are bound to do for the salvation of tills world for Christ. “But,” says some one, “how cun you claim that England is our friend? We have had three great for eign wars. Two of those were with England, During the civil war we al most had another bloody conlliet with her. Can England be opr friend?” Only I-'umlly JurN. Oh, of course we have had a little trouble with* England. We have had two or three big family rows When you were'growing up in yotir father’s home all the children were not always at peace. Your mother every little while had to come to the rescue and pour oil upon the troubled waters. But those domestic troubles did not prove that the brothers did not love brothers and sisters love sisters. We have had a few domestic quarrels with our brothers and sisters across the seas. Our relatives living there are not saints. Perhaps some of the sin ners are on this side of the Atlantic us- well ns on the other side. But. though we have had our national dif ferences, they are only domestic dif ferences. The two nations are of one blood. The two nations have tlx* one great purpose for the flflvillzutlon of the world for Christ. So let us one and all speak more about the good the British people have done us and the good they are doing us. Then by speaking about the good which our British brothers and sisters have done and are doing we will lie drawn closer and closer together and ns two nations lie more able speedily to accomplish the work which God hae given tlx* English speaking race to do. In closing this Fourth of July ser mon I would end it with the sentiment with which Cyras W. Field closed his speech it the chamber of commerce banquet of 1860. “I close with this sentiment,” he said—“England and America clasping hands across the sea. May this firm grasp be n pledge of frientlship for all generations.” Aye. more than this! “May the common brotherhood of the Anglo-Saxon rare be the open door through which all peoples shall enter Into and kneel in the great temple, where they shall worship the universal fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man through Jesus Christ our Lord.” Hal leluiah! Then shall the sword be tnrn- od Into the plowshare and the spear into the pruning book. Then man shall never battle with man. and man shall not learn war any mote. Amen and amen! [Copyright, 1906, by Louis Klopsch ] Cure For The Blues ONE MEDICINE THATJIAS NEVER FAILED Health Fally Restored and the Joy of Life Regained When acheerful, brave, light-hearted woman is suddenly plunged into that perfection of misery, the BLUES, it is a sad picture. It is usually this way t >rta* She has been feeling “ out of soi for some time, head has ached and back also; has slept poorly, been quite nervous, and nearly fainted once or twice; head dizz}’,*and heart-beats very fast; then that bearing-down feeling, and during her menstrual period she is exceedingly despondent. Nothing pleases her. Per doctor says: ‘‘Cheer up: you have dyspepsia; you will be all right soon.” But she doesn’t get " all right,” and hope vanishes; then come the brood ing, morbid, melancholy, everlasting BLUES. Don’t wait until your sufferings have driven you to despair, with your nerves all shattered and your courage gone, but take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound. See what it did for Mrs. Rosa Adams, of 819 12th Street, Louisville, Ky., niece of the late Gen eral Roger Hanson, C.S.A. She writes: Dear Mrs. Pinkham:— “ I cannot tell you with pen and ink what Lydia E. Pinkbanfs Vegetable Compound has done for me. I suffered with female troubles, extreme lassitude, ‘ the blues,* nervousness and that all-gone feeling. I was advised to try Lydia E. Pinkham’s \ egetable Compound, and it not only cured my female derangement, but it has restored me to perfect health and strength. The buoyancy of my younger days has returned, and I do not suf fer any longer with despondency, as I did be fore. I consider Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege table Compound a boon to sick and suffering women.’’ If you have some derangement of the female organism write Mrs. Pinkham. Lynn. Mass., for advice.
