At Atlln, B. C., on Sunday, Feb

ed by the Bishop of British Colum
bia diocese of the Church of Eng-'
land for the offering up of special:
prayers of thanksgiving upon the
100th anniversary of peace be
tween the United States and Great
Britain, the following eloquent ser
mon was delivered:
I'eoce Centenary Between "Jolm:
Bull" and "Uncle Sam."
"Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called the children
of God"—5 St. Matt: 9.
The amicable relations between
Great Britain and the United States
is a groat blessing to these two I
great powers. Both of these great I
nations have many things In com
mon. \\*e speak the same noble
tongue; and, the English language
is more generally used today than 1
any other language on the face of 1
tlie earth. We also live under much
the same form of constitutional
government. The head of one gov
ernment Is a king, the head of the
other uation is a president; Brit- |'
ain is governed by a constitutional '
monarchy, the United States are !
ruled by a constitutional republic.
And, we believe that both of these
nations have been more successful '
in adjusting and reconciling legiti
mate authority with personal lib- ^
erty than any other country of the '
world! The British Empire em- 1
ijraces a territory comprising, 10,- '
J00.000 square miles, or about one- i
fifth of the whole globe. Great was '
:ne Roman Empiro in the days of her '
imperial splendor, and yet, the Ro- 1
n"v ■ scarcely one-sixth
The United bSloira of today '
100,000,000 of people; its govern- ~
inent exercises a salutary influence
jver the entire American continent,
Mid its influence is exerted to pre (
serve the peace and autonomy of he .
sister Republics. If, then. Great
Britain and America were to enter ^
Into an alliance of permanent arbi- j
tration with each other, such a bond ,
o amity would be a blessing, not j
only to these two great powers, but ,
to all the nations of the civilized
world.
When the waters receded from tl.a
earth after the Deluge, Almighty
God made a solemn covenant with
Xoah and his posterity that the
«irth should never again be de
stroyed by water, and as a sign of
the covenant. He placed a bow in
the heavens. Let Britannia and Col
umbia join hands across the Atlan
tic, and their outstretched arms
will form a sacred arch of peace
which will excite the admiration of
the nations, and will proclaim to
the world the hope that with
God's help, the earth shall never
more be deluged with blood, shed
in a fratricidal war!
The celebration of a hundred
years of peace with the United
State's, is remarkable, because there
lias been by no means a hundred
years of amity. On many oc
casions, but for diplomacy and the
exercise of common sens?, there
would have been war. It is tills
fact which lends especial eignifi

The confirmation of Ruble, on

iwntiment and good will of two

Whilo many hearts are .sad at r

latlons which should be friendly js

>ur hearts are lightened when we 1
lee two of the foremost among the (
ihristian nations of the earth ce'.e
jrating a peace centenary.
May this celebration serve ■ as an
mportant link in the chain of Pro
'idential events which are drawing
ho nations closer together, year by
ear, hastening the coming of the
iromised day when "they
hall beat their swords into plow- j
hares, and their spears into prun
ng hooks; nation shall not lift up j
word against nation, neither shall
hey leam war any more."
The dream of universal peace, so j.
arnestly cherished by our 'race, is
n after. The present times snow
hat civilization uncontrolled by (

o the peace of the world, but can
ead mankind no nearer the goal of .

ianity —even apart from God.
Ind, now, behold, the nations are

But, can we have peace without the
Prince of Peace? Christianity puts
he uuestion; history gives the
answer, "NO!" Rather, let the
mountains crumble to dust than j
