Hut in war the innocent are 'unished, and the instiga-j tors of the bloody carnage go unpun-; k'oed. War will never cease as long as, men are unregenerate. and the nations! glorify war by putting the laurel' wreath on the brows of those who send shot and shell crashing through the : bodies of men. j Mgn are horrified at the disregard ana .miss ilia larpenter, teachers in the Portland schools, are spending the' nonoays at me nome o: tneir parents infrnn,,:ma, i... flnj trfttv oblina in this city. tions bv the belligerent powors en- Mrs. D.

Men everywhere will be ready to condemn tne old regime as a total failure, and unfit to rule humanity. Remedies ot all kinds will bo suggtst- ed to avert future wars, and to usher a reign of universal and lasting peace. All kinds of extensive religious combinations will ue effected in order to guide the ship of state safely over the turbulent, political seas.

Xo greater calumity could befall our epublic than for it to repudiate its constitutional guaranties of individual freedom in religions matters, and its strict adherence to uprely civil func tions. Unless our rulers maintain an uncompromising loyalty to the funda mental principles upon which our gov ernment was founded, a worse catastro phe will befall our nation at the con clusion of the pieseut war than that whict the war itself will bring to the nations of Europe. The lossos of war are iorgottcn in a few days, biit tho subjection of the civil power to the spiritual powers will inaugurate a traia of evils which two millenniums could not efface.
