CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, AUGUST 25, 1898.
Clod and Our Country.
We publish below a somewhat con
densed form of the sermon referred to last week,
preached by Rev. It. McCuslin, in the Presbyter
ian church, on Sabbath morning Aug. 7th, the
first service held since the closing of the church
for repairs. A large congregation was present.
Allusion was made to the President's proclama
tion, calling for national thanksgiving and
prayer. A summary of the proclamation was
given, together with the great events which have
transpired since, giving additional reason for
thanksgiving and praise, especially that the
prayers of God's people have so soon been
signally answered in the rapid progress of nego
tiations for peace, begun by Spain.
Reference was made to an artistic representa
tion of National thanksgiving which occupied
a whole page of a Chicago daily newspaper, on
July 16tli, in which an angel proclaims with a
trumpet the words of scripture: "The Lord
wrought a great salvation for all Israel 1 Sam.
xix: ft). They got not the land in possession by
their own s.vord, neither did their own arm
save them; but thy right hand and thine arm and
the light of thy countenance, because thou
hadsta favor unto them" Psalm xliv: 3). This
was chosen as the text.
The first part of the text is Jonathan's defense
of David his friend, before Saul his father. He
spoke good of David and declared that he had
not sinned against Saul, but had done works of
greatest good to his nation and his king, lie
had put his life into his hand and had slain the
Philistine giant. Hut he at once recognized the
fact that David, his friend, was only the instru
ment, while the Lord God was the efficient
cause: "The Lord wrought a great salvatiDn for
all Israel." The second part of the text has ref
erence to God's dealings with His pe pie "in the
times of old;" —how he drove out the heathen
with His own hand and planted His o.v 11 people
in the land of promise. "For they got not the
land in possession by their own sword, &c."
The Lord alone was exalted in bringing His oeo
pie to tiie land which flowed with milk and
honey. By Ilis distinguishing grace He had put
a wide difference between Canaan and Israel.
The effectual power of his favor wrought mightily
for His chosen people ami against their enemies.
The warriers were brave and fought with zeal
and energy under most skillful leadership, but
their valor and leadership were all subordinate
to that mysterious divine working by which
their enemies were overwhelmed in defeat. The
best efforts of all the men-at-arms were employ
ed; but as ihese would have been futile
without God's favor, all honor and praise
to the Lord of hosts is given by these words of
of inspiration.
But such distinguishing favor is not confined
to Israel of old. The God of Israel is the God of
nations 111 all ages; and He has dealt and will
continue to deal with all nations according
to the same immutable principles and laws of
truth and righteousness. It is just as true to-day
as it was in the days of Moses and Joshua and
David and Solomon and Ahab and others, that
"Righteousness exalteth a nation; but sin is a re
proach to any people;" and just as immutably
true now as it was when the psalmist observed
it, that '"The wicked shall be turned into hell
and all the nations that forget God;" just as true
now as then that all nations that forget God arc
doomed togo down to their utter ruin and de
struction.
We are busy to-day, as a nation, carving out a
piece of the most remarkable history that has
ever gonj on record. We read through all his
tory for a parallel and find it only in those rare
and marvellous records of the Old Testament
scriptures. Unbelievers may attribute our suc
cess to accident, or to the skill and courage only
of our soldiers. But people who believe in God
only need to look at what has been done at
Manila and Santiago to be convinced that a
higher power and wisdom than that of men
have given us the victory. These victories are
not less remarkable than the triumph of Gid
eon's three hundred, armed with their lamps, !
pitchers and trumpets. If indeed, a record of |
our recent events were given in the Old Testa- i
ment history, infidels would be as diligent in cry- i
ing it down as fabulous and impossible, as they ;
have been in clamoring against Ihe truth of the
Old Testament record.
Our nation began this war with a small army
of but twenty-five thousand regulars and a navy !
small enough to be despised by the whole world, j
We were without adequate coast defences and
had indeed no preparation for a conflict with
any power. And yet in a little over one hundred
days, we have won unparalleled naval victories ;
and have passed through most brilliant land
campaigns. Cuba is free: Porto Rico and all ad
jacent Spanish Islands are ours; the Ladrone
and Philippine islands are in the power of this
nation to be disposed of as the highest and best
wisdom may dictate. The loss and destruction
wrought by the different sides are out of all pro
portion and challenge comparison with records
of all conflicts outside of the Old Testament his
tory. The hand ofGod is most conspicious in it
all. Close the eye to the presence of
that Almighty hand and you have no sufficient
explanation for the great facts. But give that
hand its place, and all is clear. An all controll
ing purpose calls forth these mighty move
ments, whether we be able to read it or not.
' God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perforin.
He plants his footsteps in the sea,
And rules upon the the storm."
We are not yet far enough along fully to ap
preciate what God has wrought out by this war
for us as a nation, and through us for the world.
We are sure there is a vast volume to be read
which is not yet open to us. Future generations
will be able to look back and see what God
means by this conflict, as we cannot see it, look
ing forward. Hut there are some things as
clear as the light of day to all thoughtful chris
tian intelligence.
1. For one thing, this is dearly nn epoch-mak
ing war. A very important line of history here
makes a short sharp turn and takes a new di
rection. We hereby establish a precedent for a
new cause of international interference. We
have put into execution as a nation what has
long been recognized as the right and duty of
every individual, and that is, the right and duty
to interfere to prevent a manifest wrong. Christ
ian people were amazed to find as the out come
of all the discussions about America's right to
interfere with Spain's barbarous work in Cuba,
that there was no precedent for such interference
on merely humane grounds. In other words, it
came out that there was no international law,
established by precedent, recognizing our nation's
right and duty to prevent the manifest wrongs
perpetrated by Spain for hundreds of years in
her island colonies. All great authorities on in
ternational law were agreed that the United
| States had no legal right to interfere except in
j so far as our own interests were affected and be
i cause of the dastardly act of blowing up the
I Maine. It is true that our commercial interests
were seriously affected by the interminable war
. between Spain and ('uba. It is true that it was a
most expensive and onerous burden to police the
I high seas and enforce our nutrality obligations
i and keep down filibustering from our shores.
| And it is true that the blowing up of the Maine
I and the death of two hundred and sixtv-six of
our seamen was a most irritating and inflaming
: cause of war-like feeling. And it is true that all
' these causes were emphasised in our declaration
; of war against Spain, because our nation did not
j want even to seem to do an illegal act. Yet the
I cause of this war—the cause of our interference,
was the cause of humanity, the assertion of our
| right and duty as a nation to put a stop to the
i manifest wrongs, the cruelties, inhumanities, bar
: barities of this tyrannical and heartless nation.
It is not to avenge the Maine that we make
j war. We have no right to take vengence except
as God may use us to bring punishment on the
I guilty. "Dearly beloved avenge not yourselves,
| hut rather give place unto wrath; for it is written,
vengeance is Mine, 1 will repay, saith the Lord."
God has avenged the Maine in this great conflict
in a most summary manner; and not the Maine
only, but Spain's wrongs in her island colonies
I for centuries. Put God hascompelled our nation
to arise and put down a new precedent as a good
and sufficient cause of itself for international
interferance, and that is "the cause of human
ity"—the prevention of manifest wrongs. God
j says by thunderous appeal, through this war, to
j all enlightened nations: "Your wars must cease
j to be wars for merely selfish ends; but if need be.
I make war in the interest of charity; carry relief
and liberty to the victims of cruelty and wrong
and oppression, by force of arms if need be."
Nations have now a legal right to interfere
promptly in the interest of humanity and civiliz
ation, because of this newly established pre
cedent.
'2. Another outcome of thin war is our introduc
| tion to a ptaee of influence and power among the.
i nations of Continental Europe. For the whole
of our national history our policy has been to
i stay at home and attend strictly to our own
i business, a thing very good indeed in itself.
Washington, in his farewell address, urged the
propriety of avoiding all foreign, entangling
] alliances, and international complications. The
common sense of the American people and the
I necessities of our situation have impelled us to
approve and adopt this policy. Our mission has
j seemed therefore to be a mission only of peace.
I We have limited ourselves to the promotion of
| industrial progress, the peopling of our vast ter
j ritory, the development of our unlimited re
; sources of national wealth, and the defining,
codifying and putting into practice of the princi
ples of free and peacefttl government. Our
; policy has worked so well that we have grown
' strong and rich and powerful, while yet the
' nation slept in her swaddling clothes. But we
j have remained out of touch with Continental
Europe. England lias known us all through our
history and known 11s well. But Continental
Europe lias known and thought but little of what
America means as to national power, political
development and civilization. Any slang terms
by which they could slur the American nation
and people have been freely bandied about.
And to the extent we were unknown and unap
preciated, our national influence has been limited
and hampered. Hut by this providential war,
God has suddenly waked our sleeping nation up
and peremptorily ordered it to the front in
the world's great conflicts. Our booming guns
at Manila and Santiago have sounded around
the world and served as a surprising introduc
tion of this nation to Continental Europe. They
knew our nation to be a wealthy nation, but
dreamed that our people were ignorant, without
polish and refinement, selfish and scheming;
that our science was a science of how to cheat,
and our art the art of making money. They
despised our nation because we had no large
standing army and sneered at. the size and char
acter of our navy, liutall this has suffered a
rude shock in Cod's providence and has passed
into a radical change. Those self conscious old
nations have awaked to the fact that even one
hundred days of war by this nation, in a just
cause, can give us a volunteer army, the peer of
any in the world. It teaches them that true
christian civilization unarmed is mightier for
the conflict, if conflict need be, than barbarism,
however well armed and long drilled. Out of
these great battles we have fired the truth
around the world, that a nation's real strength
does not consist in the mere profession of arms,
hut in the development of a free, prosperous,
happy, intelligent. Christian citizenship, whose
patriotism is always reliable, whose nerve is
ready lor any neede I daring, whose will is un
conquerable and whose purpose is undying.
These are the elements that mal;o a great army.
Of our navy too, they said our ships were few
and contemptible, built out of political jobbery
and fraud. Our officers were mere figure-heads,
fit for nothing but to draw pay and play the part
of sinecures. Our gunners and seamen were
lazy loafers, entering the service for a place of
easy support, without discipline and skill and
experience. Any European power which had
any navy at all was supposed to be able to line
up easily and blow our ships out of the sea, in
one short, sharp conflict. Hut the famous
rounding of South America by the Oregon with
out need of repairs, taught the world that our
ships are not cheap structures; and the tremen
dous execution of all our boats has completely
silenced their sneers and called out their pro
found respect. It is seen that there was ground
for the reply of brave Captain Clark, wired to
the department at Washington from Rio de
Janeiro: ' Please do not entangle me with in
structions. lam not afraid of the whole Spanish
Navy." Through the magnificent superiority of
our navy and ariny the God of nations has forged
us to the front as one of llis prominent instru
ments that must be reckoned with in the solu
tion of all the world's great problems. So,
It is most clear and certain that our nation
trill emerge from this conflict loaded with the
gravest responsibilities. With our increase of in
fluence and power in the world comes our en
larged responsibility. We have not merely a new
responsibility in Cuba and Porto Kico and the
Philippine Islands, but a new responsibility that
is world wide. The most urgent call and duty
of the hour is that the nation become conscious
of its God-given responsibilities, and rise in her
might and Christian wisdom and intelligence
and prepare for the full and righteous discharge
of Ihese duties and responsibilities. It is clearly
our providential destiny to take a higher and
still higher place among the nations of the world.
The late Wm. E. Gladstone, the far-seeing states
man, the eminent scholar and devout Christian,
held the highest opinion of the future of this
nation. He said, long before we were pushed
out into the channel of this world-wide responsi
bility: "America will one day become what
England is to-day, the head steward in the house
hold of the world, because her service will he the
best and ablest." Let us never forget that our
responsibilities and higher duties are God-given.
Let us be warned of the constant danger of for
getting Ood, by the constant tendency to forget
Him and disregard His authority and disobey
His commands. Let us note carefully that we
come into these new responsibilities under God's
leadership -a leadershin as sure and clear as His
leading or Israel out of Egypt by the pillar of cloud
by day and of fire by night. It is only another
link of the long chain of God's providence that
runs back into the beginning, into which a new
link is forged at every stage of our progress. And
we must not forget the hand that forges every
one of those links.
Look only at but a few of the prominent links
of this wonderful chain of providence, and be
convinced that it is God's hand that leadeth us.
It was no accident that Columbus came to the
front and discovered America in time to catch
the light of revived learning and pure Bible
religion and the awakening of the spirit of civil
and religious liberty. For many years this Con
tinent, both north and south, was crowded with
these same Spanish people. The Spanish and
Portuguese dominated the new world. But the
hand ofGod isseen. Persecution and oppression,
very much like that which our Cuban neighbors
have suffered, drove the best elements of Europe
to this country. The Huguenots of France, the
Reformed of Holland, the Puritans of England,
the Presbyterians of Scotland and North Ireland
and others came and laid the foundations for
our free and noble Christian institutions. Span
ish mediaeval darkness was dispelled before the
new, strong light of these grandly aggressive
elements. God's hand isseen most clearly in
our national independence and our union of
States. Every step is carved by the hand ofGod.
Our whole history speaks the mighty lesson be
cause God speaks through it. But few Ameri
cans wanted separation from the mother country
until it became a last resort in God's providence.
So in our civil war, few people wanted to inter
fere with slavery until God in His providence
showed us that the preservation of the union
with the continuance of slavery was an impossi
bility, and slavery became doomed.
So* we were led into this war with Spain by the
clear providence of God. But few people de
liberately wanted to interfere in Cuban affairs
until (Soil by a long series of object lessons taught
the whole nation that there was no other alterna
tive. Then there was a God-given spontaneity
that was irresistible. The east, west, north, and
south, all parties and classes and ages, were
drawn together as never before around this one
question of taking higher ground than any plane
hitherto occupied by any nation, showing the
working of God's hand and God's uplifting grace.
It was not the foresight of man, but the guiding
hand ofGod that sent Dewey into Manila harbor
and Cervera into Santiago. It was the seal of
His great favor at every turn that gave such
signal victories to our arms. This guiding hand
is recognized by our Christian President and his
subordinates, by our thoughtful commanders on
sea and land and by the mas4bs of our intelligent
people. How urgent thecall therefore that we
continue t<> offer earnest prayer that we may
prove worthy of our high mission and responsi
j bill ties, and may never forget our nation's God,
i and be not given over, like Spain, to our national
| ruin and destruction !
