The subject of Usheeeal Pews u ooe
that must .ppesI to those who have
the highest i.teaeete of the empire at
heart. L'pos the ideal of
which we cherish. our future welfare
depeoda. And the ideal that is most
prominent before us today Is the
military ideal. It is proclaimed by
responsible ministers of the crown ; it
is published everywhere by the prose ;
it is even preached by the pulpit.
And it is necessary, 1 believe, to
oouoteract this spirit of inWtarisoi, to
enlist the forces of our empire for a
more worthy ideal.
The figure cf war is much more
picturesque than that of peace. Its
colors are more vivid ; it flaunts the
banner and buts the drum ; it is sur-
rounded by a halo of glory. but peace
is more demure ; its garb is drab or
bodden grey ; it has no scarlet or blie•
to catch the eye of the crowd ;its
voice is sweet and low : it appeals to
mind and soul rather than to blood
and muscle. Aod the history of the
world with which we are most familiar
and which is taught in all our schools
it for the most part the history of
wars. Wan ancient and wars modern
form the pabulum of the schoolboy.
Constitutional history and the story
of the growth of commerce, or of
knowledge, these are neglected in our
teaching. even in our univereaie..
For every child that horses the date
of the first peace conference, a thou. -
and can tell the year of Waterloo.
This is, of course, to be expected.
War appeal. to the primary instiocts
of tbe race. 1n the rise from bar-
barism
arb risnt to civilization one of the most
obvious instruments is war. The
first law of mankind was the justice
of Rob Roy that "they should take
who have the (sower and they should
keep who can. ' And in the history of
the world's art. poetry and music, the
glories and characteristic virtues of
wet are perpetuated. •'Arma virum-
yy�� cano." One who loathes war is
tttrrlled by the picture commemorat-
ing the glorious charge ; his heart
leaps to the martial aasyprat of the
tricot : his feet scut Loibattle at the

to • world's satisfaction that war is

Do man could number bereft of hus-

In a single battle—Gravelotte—the
victorious German- lost TMofficers and
49110 men—more than the population
of Ooderich -dyad and 371 officers and
14,000 wounded. And examine once
more the annual cost of war and im-
plements of war today. The budget of
Great Britain sets aside for one year
the sum of Iltieln,000,000 and in the Boer
war year, the enormous and uncalcul-
able sum 0(0.0110.000.000 00 the army
alone. The navy expenses in the year
18136 were $00,01).000, in 141)1 $100,0011,-
188) and today another hundred mil-
lions is added annually to our naval
expenses, and the other nations strive
in their unworthy emulation of uunec-
seaary expenditure. Germany this
rrear passed a grant of $-L6,000,01U for
its ordinary annual expenditure on
Iia army and • special grant of $26(t,
(100,000. France made provision for
$100,000,000. The total annual cost of
war or preparations for war for the
whole world is calculated at four
thousand million dollars. Compare
these sums with the total products of
the world's trade and the result is as-
tounding. The exports from Canada
last year, the product of all the
euerey from Vancouver to Hslitax
in mine, field, sea, late and manu-
factures amounted to some 281
million dollaeil : enough only to pro-
vide for one year of the British army

of the world, The army of Britain
totals 400,(110 men. the navy 2111),11))
men. What the world and especially
Canada is asking for is Wee to do the
world's work. The economic loss is
tremendous, $10.000,000 provides only
one Dreadnought which rewaiue first-
class fur at most five years, at the rod
of ten years it is used as a target for
guns in practice, and et the end of
fifteen it is sold for scrap ,..,o. Tie
various national debts of the world at e
largely due to wer.00 The national
debt of Britain is 4t) thousand million
dollars, and the nation by a system of
taxes that beat s heavily on peer and
peasant alike, is kept poor, providing
for the interest on this sum. The
economic burden is greater than the
world can bear : instead of standing
upright to do its duty it staggers be-
neath a wasteful load. Is it not im-
poesible to set fire tint vast capital of
money and of men in the interests of
service, of tredr, of knowledge, tie an
instrument for increasing the world's
wealth rather than as an instrument
of wilful waste and of pernicious de-
struction
Beyond the economic aspect of this
question there is the humanitarian.
Shakespeare teUs us that
"When 1 h • bl ut of war blow. in our ear
Theo imitate the aotlon of the tiger
ritflfw Hee sleeves God gammon up the blood."
The appeal of war is to the instinct
of the brute within us. War is a wea-
pon of barbarism, a misery on men
who make it and a greater misery up-
on its victims. In the Balkan war en-
quiry just closed there is presented the
picture of a doctor In a field hospital.
For seventy-two hours he stood—with-
out sleep and practically without food,
fainting now into the arms of the
orderlies and again rousing himself to
his work—by the operating table and
for all the seventy-two hours the table
w• not empty of a victim of the
battle. War inculcates practically
every wrong ideal—might rather than
right—bate than love. It decimates
the land not of the lives weak and in-
valided ; it claims for its own the
strongest. fullest, best lives. It leaves
a shadow rather than sunshine on the

Is there not a better w ay ? - Men tell
us that tbe best means of avoiding
war is to prepare for it. but the hest
way to invite war is to stand ready for
11. A dog with bristles on end and
teeth glistening does not expect to
pass other dogs unmolested : it invites
a conflict. An invitation to tramp on
the tail of my teat is a portent of a
Doming shillelah. A nation armed to
the teeth is a nation acting for a test-
ing of its prowess.
Men who love their land and empire
are asking for a better way and surely
in international arbitration there Is a
better way. As far back as 1816 after
the honors of the glorio,s victory of
Waterloo, • pork* society was formed
and CM programme of that society is
.1111 the ideal of the sanest potrMts.
The ntbeme it set before the world
was the forming of a code of interna-
tional law. the establishing of • court
of nations, the reduction of armies
leading to abolition. And much pro -
grew has been wade In the rains of
poses since that data In IWO the
emperor of Rowels called the nations
of the world to a pesos o .. t ferreneac
Twnn •ore European countries, [bol
Caked States, China, Japan. Pes.&.
and Elam accepted his invitation.
That court of nations decided that
arbltratioa between nations was to be
the pprez•aeettice of all the members of that
eoeferestce, except where national
honor was involved or wince eta.mtdsl
interests were eomprom4nd. Aad
than various states have bites loyal to
their oompa.t. More and mom arbi-
tration rather than war is the resort
of the mations. Spain, liermany, Brit -
.is, Prance, Ramie and Japsa have
aN.ettisd dN.reness by this means in
the last twenty years. when torroeely

And not only the state themselves, t*it
within the nations Individuals are
binding themselves together in a holy'
crusade against war. The Anglo Ger-
man peace society numbers tens of
thousands in Britain and in Germany'
and even in Canada has over on.l
thousand members.
Is it not possible for Canada to Mad
the forces that battle for universal
peace? It ie, we believe, the last na-
don of the world to cote of age; In
Its adult manhood will it listen to the
