A popular hero is ushered in with brass bands, he wears epatilettes, or holds office. My thought is of that high moral excellence, that manly virtue, which knows and esteems itself. It matters not whether it has a title; it meeds no herald.

Oliver C. Miller preached yester-| day at Pentecost Mission, corner of Pa- | cific and Leavenworth streets, from Luke | x, 37: “Then sald Jesus unto him, go, and do thou likewise.” He said In part: The present war crisis forcibly recalls the | inimitable and oft-quoted parable of the Good | Samaritan. Poor Cuba fell among thieves, who stripped her of her raiment, ‘wounded her and left her half dead. The nations of the earth passed her by, some on one ‘side and fome on the other, till at last, Good Samari- tan like, America’ had compassion upon her and went to her relief, preaching the gospel of the golden rule in the thundering tones of her mighty instruments of war. Whosoever opposes the war that the cause of humanity and justice have brought upon | us opposes the teachings of the parcble. Let us cease our talk about the sons of America giving their lives for the enslaved and . de- Eraded Cubans, for God is no respecter of Bersons. He made of one blood all the nations Of the earth. The more helpless and down- trodden our father's children are the more our Guty {o 1ift them up, even though they be not | sufficlently tutored to appreciate what we are doing for them. Who are we that the Creator of worlds should die for us? Yet the good book tells us that He loved us and gave him- gelf for us. In the present war America is but carrying out the commands of mercy and enacting over again the parable of the Good Samaritan Savior. Our only regret ls that she had to be thrust into this act of mercv by the sacrifice of 286 precious lives. Let us enter the conflict with the assurance that we cannot g0 alone, but cheered by the words of our Good “I am with you al- way even unto the end.’” The unanimity with which Congress declared war ought also to be to us a source of comfort. Let the crisis make the man and call out the heroic element in American character. Let none be weak-kneed, but let us as States stand by our Governors and as integral parts of our nation stand by our President: and the mighty God of, Jacob shall be our helper. —_— ee———— In the Handball Arena.
