G. E. Lloyd, “The Fighting Chaplain," late Of the Q 0 R , Toronto, preach on the war in South Africa. The reverend gentleman spoke with great: vigor and occupied about an hour in delivering a sermon of which the following is only an outline. Text : “If Thy people go out to bat.- tle against their enemies whither-cover Thou shall send them, and shall pray unto the Lord their God, toward the city Thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for Thy name, than hear Thou in Heaven, their prayer and their supplicatlon and maintain their cause.”â€"1 Kluge, chap. 8. vv. 44 5. The words were uttered by Solomon Of the Jews. In a similar spirit: have the Archbishop Of Canterbury and the 'Oflicialc Of the Church of England under him eel: apart this day for prayer In behalf Of our armies fighting in South Africa. It. In of that terrible struggle that I wish to speak to you tonight and crave your indulgence if I occupy more time than is non rl. When we speak of such a matter on the Lord’s day and in His house, It must be the religious aspects of it only that must: be considered. Solomon prayed for the success of Israel's armlcc, but: only In wars that. should be undertaken by God’s approval. He asked for victory in wars conducted “whithcrcocver Thou shalt send them." Is our war such as God would send forth armies upon? That Is the question before us, and It. is only upon an affirmative answer to that ques. tion that we can earnestly pray for one cars. If such an answer can be given, then shall we pray till auctions comes and thanksgiving takes the place of prayer, but we dare not pray for victory unless we believe our Empire has been sent by God to do the work. Is the war just? By in we are sufierlng to rhc core, In it we are pcuring out our blood like water. I believe It: In jOl". Six months ago I could not: have no regarded It, but to-day, after looking carefully Into the subject, I am convinced that: Great Britain In sent by God to fight in South Africa.

The teaching of Christianity Is “Bear and forbear, but at last maintain the right: and do It as kindly as you can." POLICY AND JUSTICE From the standpoint Of the politician the war was necessary; from that: of the morallst, It is right. The politician seen how essential British supremacy in South Africa Is. Cape Town In the extreme distance from Canada and India that chips can go without. coaling. Hence, the great: shipping and naval interests of Great Britain demand that she shall control that point. If a neutral or ' hostile power held It, England would be compelled to trust to foreign favors for coal, as is Germany at: six or seven places in a jrurney to her Asiatic possessions. Moreover our duty to the blacks In India and in Africa itself, calls for British supremacy. For religious instruction and natlonal development these depend on Great Britain. But although expediency makes the war necessary, yet: if It is not just we should not have undertaken It. Let no review. In 1795 the British conquered Care Colony. In 1803 they gave it back to the Dutch, but three years later took it away from them again. Since then It has been ourc. Previously a Dutch com pany controlled the country and. deprived the people of their rights. After the British got It: all have had rqual rights and the present ministry Is Dutch, al~ though the majority Of the population is English. Six months ago I believed the British were making demands on the Boers because they wanted a pretext to get the gold mines there. Now I do not ; and for this reason: In 1834 a change came in Cape Colony. The British parliament had decided to abolish slavery in British possessions. They sent $6,000,001 to pay Off the Dutch share- holders In South Africa. But the Dutch Idispoced of the scrip entitling them to “fir the money, to dealers for small sums, j not THE MORAL PHASES OF THE QUARREL as did many of our volunteers after the Rail rebellion, their scrip for 180 acres of land. Ikuow some who sold their: for 840 each. The Dutch did this Ignorant. 1y, but since they found out: their 1083 there has always been trouble. That is the trouble toâ€"day. The right Of the Dutchman to “whallop his own nigger” is the cause of the war, and it In the only came apart from corruption. Slavery in the question an Issue and for its solution our soldiers are dying. The Dutch moved to Natal after their slaves were liberated. But there the British held away, so they went up into the Orange Free State. The British allowed them to rule themselves there on the condition than they should have no clavcc. Since then the Orange Free State has been satisfied. with one excep- tion. They got into a dispute with the British about a boundary. The British were wrong and paid over a large sum of money. With these the Free Staterc built the railways that they have. Some over the Vaal river, and these are today the Boers of the Transvaal. They made raids upon the blacks around them and took slaves until in 1887 Cetewayo the Zulu and Khama the Brsuto made common cause and killed the Boers un- til they made appeal to Great Britain to annex their territory. This the British refused to do saying they had enough territory. After the third appeal Britain dld annex the Transvaal, and In hard battles drove back the natives. The fact that England refused the land at: first ought: to silence those who say this In a land-grabbing war. Let us have a little truth on this point for truth’c cake. In 1880 the blacks had been driven back and a Boer was made a British Ofiiclal at Pretoria. He was Paul Kruger. Soon his accounts were found short. and he was dismissed. Then he became the evil genius Of South Africa, stirring up the Dutch and waiting a chance to do injury to Britain. The next year his chance came. Britain was threatened on many sides and the Boers struck for Independence. You know of the disasters at Lsing’c Nek and Majuba Bill. With 10,000 men In the field Mr. Gladstone committed the first: of the two Offences that stand against his name. He made peace and acknowledged the Independence of the Transvaal, subject: only to the cuzaratnty of Great Britain. This act and the sacrifice of Gordon at Khartoum are Gladstonc’c nwo crimes. The conditions of this Independenoa besides the suzcraluty were : PAGES 5 To 12 R. M. ‘ 75 cm” 1131' annum (2) The abolition of slavery. BROKEN Pumas Never since that convention have the Boom made any attempt to fulfil these conditions. In 1884 Mr. Kruger adver- tised In the London papers, Inviting capitalists to invest in the Transvaal mines and skilled farmers to occupy the land and teach his subjects how to farm. He quoted these conditions as a guard antes of their liberties. But after they came he systematically broke every pledge and since then the life of an Eng- lrshman In that: country has been little better than that: of a dog. I have taken some pains to collect the testimonies of nearly one hundred reliable men and with a few exceptions they agree on the Ill-treatment Of aliens in the TransvaaL I have seen a. letter from a brother of a. lady who lives not. far from this town. After 21 years there he writes. “It will be almost Impossible to live here till the war is fought to an end.” Dremini- Salisbury, a noble, christian man, said “It had to be done.” Mr. Joe. Chamber- lain, the Sunday school teacher, who had more than any other man to do with the negotiations leading to the war, says: “It had to be done." Sir Alfred Milner, the governor of Cape Colony, a man of great gentleness, wrote: “I regret that: nothing but a great: war will make peace here." Dr. Hammond says: “It was criminal not: to have begun it before; It would be a double crime not to begin It now.” The Bishop of Montreal recently declared his conviction that no other course than war would have been right- eous. The war is just. THESE REVERSE) Having come to the conclusion that the war is just, many people will ask “Why, then, does God permit such disasters to Our armies?" I will refer you to a parallel case. The Israelites went against a strong city, Jericho, and the walls fell down. Shortly after they went against the weak town of Al and they could not takelt. They wondered why and God told them to look at home. There was sin among them. So it is to-dsy with Britain. She said: “I will march out my soldiers and plant my artillery; and I will wheel my column: and guns into line and I shall do this thIng.“ But God said “You shall not.” The paralysis of sin In upon our armies. The nation in honeycombed with iriqultioc that 26 years ago were never dreamed of. The church in more active than ever. but the nation has gone Into wickedness. A writer recently lamented the fact that the fashionable people In the West End of London go no church In the morning and give the rent of God’s day to parties with wine, cards and every frivolity. That is only one form of the fifty corn: Of wickedness into which the people of the Old Country have gone, and It is the came here. team and electric care take people away from God’s hours to spend his day In vanity and pleasure. God's Word Is not. studied. A test recently made In the High Schools and Collegiate Institutes showed an appalling ignorance of the very simplest truths Of scripture. These pupils are to be the men and women who shall be the salt Of this Empire. And here I must say another thing: The birth rate of this fair On- tario is lower than that Of the most no. moral nations on earth. Add to these vices the drunkenness, profanity and uncleannesc of the Empire and you have the Intqulty that is eating the life cut of the Empire. What, with these things and the tone of some of our newspapers I do not wonder at the reverses. The wonder will be if the Empire is not ex- terminated unless these things cease. These reverses are from God, to send this nation to Its knees. We are on one knee tO-day. Pray, pray that God will bless our soldiers and our salons, but. pray that: he will forgive our sins and take away our wickedness for only In righteousness can the nadou stand. GELERT Mrs. J.
