The Nobby Tailgr, Little Britain‘ MIGHT, MAJESTY, MISSION These Features of the British Empire Discussed by Dr. Cade THE SMALLNESS OF THE ISLANDSâ€"THE GREATNESS OF THEIR INHABI- TANFS~MEN FOR COUNCIL. AND FIGHT-JHISTORIC EVENTS â€" NAPO- LEON’S._OPINIONâ€"PRESENT UNITY â€"THE BDER WARâ€"EMPRESS QUEEN VICTORIA The Methodist church on Cambridge-st. contained a. "very good audience on the evenimz of Thanksgiving Day to hear Dr. Cede of Millbrook lecture on “Britain: Her Might Majesty and Mission.” The doctor is well-known as a most ardent Imperialist and an eloquent panegyrist of the Empire. His lecture on Thursday night was replete with vigorous patriotic sentiment, rousing eulogisims of Great Britain, and historical references that powerfully illustrated the achievements of the British people. After referring to the diminutive size of the British Isles and their isolated position Dr. Cade spoke of their inhabitants as follows: They have been men with nerves of steei, sinews of iron and faces that know no fear. They have been men who grappled with the Caesar's and were victorious; strove' for republican govern- ment at Runnymede; fought for liberty at Naseby, ‘Mar‘ston Moor, Preston Pans, Waterloo," Delhi, Koomasse, and Tel E1 Kebir, till their names are feared from the rising to the setting sun. They are men who have said what they meant and meant what they said; who have held their own and a little more for the good of humanity and the glory of God. From William the Conqueror at Senlac Hill to ‘Kitchener at Omdurman, there have not ‘ been wanting men for council or for fight. Napoleon Bonaparte never doubted the might of the English people. When he thought of invading England an officer said he had a plan by which it could be done. He would need 200,000 men; of these he expected to lose 100,000 in the channel, but would land the other half and capture London. Napoleon said, “You will need 200,000 men and will certainly lose 100,000 in the channel, and when you land the rest and begin to march on London you will find every wayside copse crammed with English bayonets, and the very women will hang upon your rear and kill your wounded with their bodkins.” m2 Erhm’s STRENGTH Referring to the wonderful military re- sources of the Empire the speaker said: The hand of every nation has been against Great Britain many times. The most gigantic alliances have been formed for her overthrow. Because she preferred the arts of peace to the practice of war, and was slow to take offence or make reprisals her enemies have thought she had sunk into desuetude and decay. When pressing that presumption too far, they have been undeceived with awful suddenness. In 1857, after the struggles that were ending, it is said that England was just at the beginning of her strength, while her enemies were exhausted by their efforts, and if she had fought on another year the map of the world would have been radically changed, the Northern Bear limited in his pretensions, the vexed Eastern question renderéd less formidable. and the brutal murders in Armenia would never have shocked the sensibilities of the world. When the Indian mutiny broke out it was thought by her enemies that England had lost her hold on that vast country, but in three months she had it in a firmer grasp than ever. Years ago It -ly sent an army of 30,000 men into Abyssinia [ where they met with utter defeat. Britain afterwards sent 16,000 troops of whom‘ 5,COO were Sepoys and captured both the King and his capital without losing a man. Five years ago when President Cleveland went out of his way to threaten Great Britain with war if she would not surrender her rights in Venezuela, the nations became a wilderness of roaring lions. In five days an English squadron put to sea that enlightened and amazed the world, and gave out a Signal warning that England still was mistress of the 888.8. “We don’t want to fight, But by jingo it we do, We have the men, we have the ships, And we have the money too.” Four years ago England was a. condition aptly described by one of our own states- men as “splendid isolation”, but to-day her kith and kin are rising up in her defence around the world. The great cable lines in the control of Britain connect her with the ends of the earth. By them she is able in a brief space of time to call up Hong Kong. Halifax, Gibraltar, Bermuda, Cape Town and Cal- cut.a and examine the minutest Retails of vuv‘râ€" â€"_, what is goinz on in these distant places. By this means she is at once aware of peril to any portion of her Empire. Britain is the great trader of the world. Her carrying trade is that of the world. She subsidizes the dark-skinned Indian, the tawny-complexioned Chinee and the black African, and by her universal trade binds the world together and carries the blessings of religion and civilization to its ‘remotest bounds. She is master of the world's finance. Although the interest on her national debt is 143 million dollars every year, yet the Chancellor ot the Ex- chequer is able to rise in his place and frequently announce that he has been able to place 20 millions in the surplus for the ‘ year. English investments are everywhere. year. CR WIDE CONTROL. To serve her trade and find investment for her capital Britain is foremost in enter- prises. So skillful and aggressive has been her policy in Africa that before long the railway conductor will stand on the station at Cairo and shout, "All aboard for Berber Khartoum, Nvanza, Mashonaland, Zuluz land, Matabeleland, Cape Town.” HER MISSION. Great Britain has a divine mission to the world. Of her it was said : “Thou shalt dwell in the tents of Shem and Ham shall be thy servant.” She has been given the Jersey Isles by the coast of France that she may carry to the Latin races 8 new and better life ; Gibraltar that she may carry to old Andalusia and Catalonia an inspiration and a knowledge that they had never felt or learned ; Malta that she may give Italy a freedom such as in the pal- miest days of ancient Rome she never knew; Egypt that the mysterious land of the Pharoahs may live again. and plant a new and glorious civilization in cultured Greece ; Australia that she may build up a continent in righteousness and “peace in the wastes of the eastern seas; Cape Colony that Etheopia may stretch out her hands to God from Cairo to Cape Town ; China of ‘ the 18,000 cities, that she may show the ancient Tartar the mystery of a christian life; India, that Suteelsm and wife-burning may cease in that ancient county; Canada, that in this great land ahe may exemplify the noblest civilization that ever has been. This is a great, a divine mission; when it has been accomplished the deserts will trulv rejoice and the wildernesses blossom as the rOSe. Even now her record marks her as the called of God. What has Spain done for the world although 300 years ago her power was greater than that of Britain? Ask Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines. What has Russia with all her aggressive tendencies done to comfort and bless the world ’4 Or France or Germany? And yet these nations are ever setting up the bay- onet in the path of the only power that aims not at aggrandizement or inflated pride but only for the good of human kind. Though she says to China: “Open these doors to all nations”, to Africa: “The slave trade must cease,” and carries bible, "-hrisfianity, freedom and the idea of God to every land, yet has has she to constantly defend her- self against the abominable hostility of the world. The great capitalized institutions of the United States exist by anlish money. You remember that when Cleveland made. his unfortunate threat and Engiish money began to withdraw from the States, ‘that in three days the monetary interests of that country felt an earthquake shock that left thousands of great fortunes in ruins. THE TRANSVAAL WAR Her present policv toward the South African Republic is in harmony with her beneficent purpose in the past. She has gone to the extent of making war that freedom and human rights may prevail. The Boers are people whose record deserve the punishment they will now receive.‘ In their narrow, bigoted, religiousness‘ they have harbored the accursed slave traffic and shamefully treated the natives around them. When Dr. Livingston was in South Africa he wrote home: “I thank God I have taught the savage Besutos to kill the Boers. ’ This war will result in the men of all colors and races having equal rights in that region of the dark continent. With the greatest patience Mr. Chamberlain and the British government put up with evasive answers to their demands and now have begun a just war that will teach the Boers that their unholy pract'ces must cease. BETTER FRIENDS The most hopeful indication of these days is the better feeling growing up between Great Britain and the United States. They got their literature, religion, judicial system and laws from us. They got their country from us too, and some- times it looks as if they are not quite satisfied with its size; but to that senti- ment we must reply “So far shalt thou go and no further i" However it is clear that a better understanding prevails between these two great Anglo-Saxon nations. ‘ Their motives and mission are largelv in ‘ common and together they will work out the divine purpose in the earth. “Thicker than water in one rill, Through mighty deed and story, The Saxon blood is flowing; And share we yet through good or ill, The labor and the glory." THE EMPRESS QUEEN. For sixty years there has sat upon the throne a monarch whose virtues have con- ‘tributed largely to the wonderful advance- ment of the nation in that time. Suppose in the past half century the English sover- eign had been a libertine like George the Fourth or Charles the Second, an incom- petent like George the Third, an enemy of l the popular liberties like Charles the First, or a tool like J ohn, what would have been the result? Instead of these we have had upon the throne a woman, virtuous as a maid, faithful as a wife, afl‘ectionate as a mother, devoted as a widow and loyal to the constitution as a ruler, the Queen Empress, Empress Queen, Britain’s sover- eign, Lady Queen Victoria ! The lecture was frequently interrupted with hearty applause as its sentiment and delivery roused patriotic feeling in the audience. A vote of thanks was proposed by Ex-mayor Taylor, and seconded by Dr. Herriman in a brief but animated address. â€"600, Ladies’ and Childrens’ Winter Coats.

A subscriber for whOSe views on the question discussed we take no responsibil- ity has handed us the following letter. To the Editor of the oWatchman-Waxder. DEAR Sunâ€"As there has been much said and written concerning what we should and What we should not do on Sunday, and as it is a subject which must interest all who have arrived at the years of understanding, and affect all from the cradle to the grave, will you permit. me through your impartial journal to place before your readers my understanding of the same? The first mention we have ofa day of rest. was when God had completed crea- tion. He rested on the seventh day. Later on we find that Moses by God’s com- mand engraved upon tables of stone, the ten commandments, the fourth of which forbids the performance of any work either by man or beast, under a. penalty on that, day. The Apostle Paul, writing of this law says: “By its deeds no flesh shall be j usti- fled in god’s sight; for by the; law is the knowledge of sin. Again he says that the law was givenâ€"that everv mouth should be stopped and all the w orid become guilty before God. He further says that} Christ is the end of the law to eVer) one that believeth, and commands us to stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has set us free, and be not entangled again in the yoke of bondage. Being “no longer under law, but under grace” why should we be so foolisn as to return to the old order of things? Why prefer Moi-es to Christ; for- i getting that “the law came by Moses; but i grace and truth by Jesus Christ?" The early saints being familiar w ith the teachings of Paul, and anxious 0t their deliverance from the law, and its conse- quent bondage; but wishing to set apart a day in which they might commemorate Christ’s resurreCLion ; and that ibe)‘ might the more easily gather together for the purpose of communion and “'Ol‘ahlp, set apart the first day of the week, “or Lord’s day ;” but it bore no resemblance to the Jewish Sabbath in its observance, until we reach the sixteenth century, when we find the conditions and provisions applicable to the Jewish Sabbath, and the Jewish people adopted, and made to do service on the first day of the week, not only without divine sanction but contrary to His reveal- ed wish, certain modifications being made whereby work might be leagalized coming under the convenient heads of “necessity and mercy.” If the state finds it necessary to fix a day on which men should refrain from work, let all refrain from work as much as possible. And if it should be the first day of the week, so much the better; but in no instance should either state or church at- tempt to give it the appearance of dlviue authority, for such is net the case SONG OF THE SOLDIER BOYS. For the honor of the Empire And the glory of the flag, We don the Queen’s bright uniform, But not to boast or brag; And are ready in a moment To fight in freedom‘s cause, To help uplift creation And equalize the laws. Chorus. So we fasten on our “fixins” In this land of maple sheen, And forward go right proudly As soldiers of the Queen. Soldiers of the Queen. my boys, As soldiers of the Queen ! And forward go right proudly As soldiers of the Queen ! The bugle notes are sounding, And in Afric's sunny clime The dark war clouds are lowering, While men are marking time; King Kruger has commanded The British troops to go, But in making such a movement He will find them mighty slow. The Empire stands united A: it never was before; The ringing cheers come rolling up From many a far-off shore : The world is eager. watching, For drift of fearful fray, But the dark land will be brighter When the smoke has cleared away. Majuba Hill. Isandula . Will not occur again, For the enemies of Britain Will form the bulk of slain; So "forward march l” and “steady l"- Cold lead for reckless knaves. The Union Jack shall float foreverâ€" White men never will be slaves! GEORGE H. Fox. Who could rest under the present con- ditions of things? God does not rest; Christ does not rest. His repy to the Pharisees who accused Him of breaking the Sabbath by healing the sick on that day was: "My Father works hitherto, and 1 work.” The question whether it is more sinful to work, or ride a bicycle, to sell fruit, or eat it on Sunday is begotten of superstition and ignorance, and is not worthy of consideration by Christian people.
