Upon l'opular ltcquest.
The attendance at tho Methodist Episco
pal cuurcn on iMiat uals street was very
largo last evening to hoar Rev. William
Powick re-deliver tho discourse which was
the subject of tho plergymen's oration on
Decoration Day and wnlcn so many
people missed on that day on account of
the meeting being held In a hall. In his
sermon Rev. Powick said:
Veterans of the Grand Army of tho Re
public and Fellow Citizens; Ladles and
Gentlemen ; Two hundred nnd seventy-
live years ago a Dutch man-of-war entered
theChesapeako Bay, and sailing up the
James River placed upon the auction
block twenty African slaves who were
purchased by the planter ol Vlrglnln, the
moiuer oi uie colonies aim tuo nome ot
the presidents.
That was tho most portentous event of
our enrly history for It mnrked the Intro
duct lou oi tue African slave trade upon
American soil and laid the foundation
of our greatest nntlonnl peril. It was
supposed by many to be a real Pandora's
box of blessings, but when their frightful
wings were spread they proved to bo tho
most nwfnl curses. "Behold how great
a matter n littlo fire klndleth." Hut for
that event we should hardly bo hero to
day to engage in these sad and solemn
services. That little cargo of slaves
proved to bo the most costly importation
that ever landed upon these shores. Let
mo mvlteyour intention to n few of tho
Items in its bill of costs.
Look for n moment nt its costs in money.

six thousand llvo hundred millions of
dollars. Upon this vast sum wo have
paid tvventy-llvo hundred millions nf
dollars interest. Then we have paid fif
teen hundred millions more for iieiwInnH
to the old soldiers and to the leeches who
bleed them.
This shows the first cost, to tho eovern

nuie uigness. wo can nppreiiend them

that amount of money here now for dis

sources, the loyalty of our neonle nnd tho
stnbility of our Government.

human life.
The Northern nrmles nlono included in
round numbers about three millions of

ono In seven of the entire population of
tho loyal states. If wo averago their
term of service It will be f-muded to be
efiunl to about six yem- .r service for
every wngo enmer now in Pennsylvania.
And if to these we ndd to those who wero
engaged on the part of tho South woshall
iinve a vast army equal in number to all
tho employes of all the great manufactur
ing and transportation companies in
tne land.
"Tell It not In Gath, publish it not in

outright on the Held of battle as live in

in the service and were sent home to die.
Adding to these the losses of the South
we have a great multitude outnumbering
the wage earners of onr great state.
Hut these losses tnke no account of the
broken health of the survivors, nor of tho
seeds of weakness nnd disease which have
been transmitted to bring forth fruit unto
physical degeneracy unto the third and
fourth generations. What mortal tongue
can tell the horrors of such cruel strife ?
But friends, tho sacrifices of war mo by
no menns restricted to tho active partici
pants in the Htrife. There is something
in the blast of the buglo, tho beat of tho
drum, the wave of tho old Hag, the magic
of tho commander's eye, the noise of the
battle and tho hope of the victory to nerve
the coward nrm, to inspire the drooping
spirit and to stilla thoughts of hardship
nnd fears of danger. But what nbout the
vacant home? Little else than the occa
sional letter from the front whose message
of safety had already been dashed to the
ground by tidings of n later battle.
While wo honor the man at tho frontlet
us not forget the bravo wives nnd mothers,
the Impoverished sons nnd daughters, the
tottering fathers nnd mothers whose hopes
were blighted, whoso homes wero deso
lnted; whose hearts wero broken ns they
were hurried to premature graves.
But no eHtimate'of its costs that leaves
out the moral Items can give more than a
hint at its real proportions.
The most disastrous results of tho war
are to he seen not in Its effects upon the
natlon'c purso but upon its morals. It
does not appear In its empty sleeves and
marble slabs so much as in the debauchery
of its public conscience.
Tnke, for oxiitnplo, tho effects of
domestic strife upon tho affections of the
family. What angry passions are nroused.
Bow the moral tone is lowered ns the fire
Hashes from tho eyo and the angry words
escape tho tpnguo. Tho difficulties may
at length bo adjusted, the questions at
issue may bo disposed of, but the moral
sense ot all concerned has been impaired
nnd their liner moral suscepttbllltlas have
been forever blunted. It Is so with na
tions. Family quarrels on a large soalo
are uo less exempt from these evils than
such quarrels on a (.mail scale. And when
