THE EVILS Of WAR, 



Tnsna are few subjects in regard to which the 

 ninginatiim is mote apt to lead the reason astray 

 han that of the lawfulness of war. Poets and or- 

 I'ors hare often thrown such a charm around tbe 

 lero, as to grcnlly obscure tho real deformity of 

 us character, and to cause those who listened lo 

 them to forget that be is, at best, only a mighiy 

 irejr. But if wo aill regard the voice of res- 

 be will teach us lo look upon war as a i 

 Tbo origin ascribed to war, by the Scriptn 

 iry flattering lo tho military cbiettan, I 

 irn it was man's failure to exercise a proper 

 urnent over his lusts. (See Jainci 4 :
