the Pioteetaata fought for their d
rights of , conscience and worship ; tad
Romanists, to recover the ground 'they' lost
in the great Reformation of the sixteenth
or , preceding century : The Emperor took
partyrith.the Romaiusts, bringing te bear.
!von the struggle the resources of his vast
personal' and hereditary .domains=-Hun
gary, Bohemia, Moravia, and" other prov
inces. During the first twelve years,' the
Protestants, unsustained r by any foreign
prince, save Christian IV. of Denmark for
four years of that period, proved to be un
ablelo resist the great-Imperial Generals,
Tilly and Wallenstein. - From year to year,
and- the more so as- , their l ease seemed to
grow' More despeilitef' ihe 'War:became-more
and more terrific, until 'et last ,the west
deplorable excesses were committed on both
sides, and the demOralizationnf the armies
and the people appeared,to be ,complete.
At, this critical juncture, Guatiiiis
Adolphus,; the Kingpf Sweden, the great.
est and best of modern princes, came -PEOIXI
his, distant hyperborean kingdom,* their
earnest aolicitation;to,'aid the 'Protestants,
bringing with him fifteen thonsendlreops,
ahalf of whom were Protestant Seetchmen,)
rmed with their light muskets and flint
lea's,: and with' bayonets attached' to - the
side of the gun, their portable carillon, etc.
In a, few months he overcame, hylis pru
denbe and perseverence, the ~distrust and
jealousy of the Protestant ptinces whom he
came to aid, and repeatedly defeated and
routed Tilly and the Imperial troops in
Northern 'Germany.. Ankench 'Were The
extraordinary abilities of this wonderful
man, that - altheitighibm was slain . on the
battle-field Liitzen irt,l63?, (November
6,) at the early age `of Yee he
sd idinPletely ,tttened: thetaealel Of I ,eV.ents'in
Germany during the thirty.,, months he
lived after his arrival, that if he had sur
vived he would probably have become Em
peror of.that , i)ountry. As it was, the great
Generals whom, he had trained, • with his
Minister Oxenstiern, brought the Prates't
aicti tritiiiophantly ant of the Struggle; which
Was ended sixteen years' afterwards (1648)
by the' Treaty of Westphalia.
But Gustavus Adolphus was a-'sincere
and active Christiareenferced 'rigid disci
pline in his armies, and promoted religion
in all his. regiments, and inculcated senti
ments of justice, humanity, . forbearance,
and Christian kindness among the Germans
as. 'well as' his own troops. The conse
quences were most happy. Of,some of the
religious practices which he introdUced into
his_army--rartiong 4,hem :that , Of morning
and evening prayer after the "inspection "
—traces have come down to our days..
Nothing could have been more 'fortunate
for the interests, of Protestantism, and we
may add, of humanity itself, than the ad
vent "of Gustavus Adolphus among - the 1
Germans in the war of which we have
,
spoken
Take another instance : Whilst the
Thirty - Years" War in Germany was drawi',
ing to a close, a civil_war, broke out in
England which Tasted less - than 'halt of
thirty'years. , Religion formed a • Most im
portant element in this war, which at the
outset threatened to be barbarous enough.
But there arose a republican. army under
Cromwer and. 'the "otfeet' 'PTrlianieetary
leaders, which fer many long years exerted
a most. extraordinary'influence. Wherever
it went victory perched on its standards,
and the people - Were secure in person and
property. •There may have been no, small
amount of hyPecrisy and .cant among the
officers, but there was 'a grdat deal of true
religion among both officers and Men in
thisarnly, and'henee its superior discipline.
No mirky in modern times'cari . be compared
with' that of Oliver Cromwell and his Gen
erals for good morals and strict discipline,
unless it be that of duitaviis Adolphus - .
And, most happy was the influence which,
both exerted wherever they moved.
Now take an instance of a contrary char
acter. In the latter part of the saceeeding
century (1789-99j:the greatltevolition in
France took place and lasted ten:, years;;:or
until the "
* an of , Destiny " ,crushed it
out with the tread of his alined legions.
In those ten years morethanone,million
of people lost their lives, or Were driven
into cruel exile. No pen has ever *et'ade

of Terror," in :France; 'during which the
