CHRISTIANITY AS TAUGHT BY CHRIST
Tenth cf the Series of Sermons Delivered by Dr. Bradley and Published by
The Constitution. The Thirteenth Will Be Printed Next Monday.
Subject: “The Peacemakers.”
Text: “Bless-d are the peacema
kers: for they shall be called the
children of God.” Mat.hew, v, 9.
Os all the surprising things said by
Jesus in His sermon on the mount, prob
ably no single one was more surprising
than the statement that peacemakers
■would one day be called “God's true
sons.” The idea was the diametrical op
posite of the prevailing notion of Ills
time.
From the beginning of tlm history of
the Jewh’h people down to the day upon
which Jojub sptftc. nvn of war had been
regarded as the gr nt ones or “the chil
dren of God.” Early in the book of
Genesis, we find that "mighty men of \a
lor" are e died “sons, of God.”
David, the .- ci of h'-se, was. the ideal
hero of the Jewish people Their sacred
writings devoted forty-two chapters to
Him. while they devoted Only eleven to
his “glorious” son. Solomon. David was
o • God's own heart.”
Their eye- were so completely dazzled
with David’s prowess, valor and success
in arms that they failed to see the glar
ing faults in his character. They could
overlook s-.mh sins as Intrigue, adultery
end murder. if only their hero was a suc
cessful warrior.
As an Indication that the old idea of
greatness prevailed when Jesus spoke,
and even after, we need only look to the
letter to the Hebrews. Tn the eleventh
chapter the writer gives what has been
called “the roll call of the mighty dead
In faith.” He was so thoroughly con
trolled by the idea tbst the man of war
was the great man In God’s ey- s that. In
preparing his catalogue of the mighty
he i sed rsu h men
t ... w< i en as Elijah, Elisha, Hannah,
.Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezeklal, Hosea, Joel
r.- 'i Amos, with towering Intellectual and
r . lt.;al gimts of the race, and Included
In his list R.ihab. a harlot; Barak, whose
.- ■' ■ ■ ■ with Joel,
who irove a nail through the temple of
her sleeping gm st, arid Jeptha, who mui
deied his -,vn daughter and consumed
her body as a bur.)', offering to hls God.
The author ju*-: I’>•-«i himself in Including
these name ; the ld< a that they were
connected with successful military ma-
'i he idea that successful warriors were
“true sons of God” was not peculiar to
the Jews, but was common to all nations.

Raineses, Sargon, Nimrod, Samson, Gid
eon, David. Ah xander, Darius, Cyrus,

rs all. It would be
; o- i-siC- to c .struct a catalogue of
... 5 ,, ; - tives of any other art than war.
The tltie “son of God" was given by the

> A glance at our directories of names .
; reveals Hie fact that thousands of our .
| citizens still seem to feel that they are j
giving their sons a tremendous boost in |
l i'fe, when they call them after men ,
! renowned in war. if one does not know. .
■j he may safely guess that the initials j
! "G. W." and "R. E. 1.." in any man's
I given name stand for George Washing- I
I ton and Robert Edward Lee.
i The great notions of the world still vie I
• wTTIi each other in their equipment for j
bloodshed. France maintains a standing j
i army of more than six liundred thou- i
sand men, which costs her every year, j
even in times of peace, $145,000,000. ,
l-’ranee is the greatest wheal growing
country in Europe, and yet her army i
. and navy cost h«r as much as the en- I
tire crop is worth. Great Britain Itos I
a standing army of 000,000, which cost
her Lost year more than $500,000,000. an
amount equal to the proceeds of he-
, crops of wheat, rye, barley, peas and po- :
| tatocs. Germany maintains an army 1
of more than six hundred thous.in.l at I
lan annual expense of $160,000,000. an i
' amount equal to all the money she pays .
j for her imported cotton, wool and coal. '
j Russia has a st itiding army of one mil
! iion. one hundred and fourioen thou- '
[ sand, which costs her $314,000,000 an- :
i nually, a sum far greet' r than -T. ex- '
■ pends for her schools. Th* I’nited Stares
1 maintains an army of seventy-three thou- ,
sand, which costs here $130,000,000 per |
year, .an amount greater than it costs i
■ her to maintain her postal system. These
I five nations alone have more than three I
: million men in their standing arms'- at 1
j a cost to the gov i nm- nts of one billion, 1
jtliee hundred mill'mi dollar!.
| But. in Hie face of nil this, there Is j
I abundant room for hope, the signs are '
• promising that the prediction of Jesus is i
I coming true. In our -,wn generation, ’
; <r< nrr.il >hernian, who, from the stamt- '
j point of success, was a gn at general, I
so far from glorifying war said, "War !
j-s hell." To him, the devastation of I
i * far ms, the destruction of property, the I
' groans and shrieks of t ic wounded and 1
I ‘lying, the sobs of the widowed and the j
■ cries of the orphaned outweighed all tae i

By Jos: Ohl.
Washington, December 15.—(Special.)— j
By a majority vote the democrats of the .
senate at their caucus today determined ;
to consider In caucus whether the Pana- 1
ma canal treaty should be made a party .
measure. The opponents of the treaty
were In the majority. Eleven of the
j twenty-six senators present voted against
; the consideration of the treaty In caucus.
! arguing that It Is purely -t business qites
■ tion and should bo voted upon by sena
tors in H»eir Individual capacities, but
Hie opponents of the treaty were suffi
ciently strong to win In this first skirm
ish. Senator Gorman leads Hie faction
which seeks to pledge the minority to op
pose and by presenting an united front
prevent the ratification of the treaty. Un
der the terms of tho Blackburn resolu
tion which was adopted with but two
dissenting votes the minority will be
bound to support, as a party measure,
any policy which secures a two-thirds
vote In caucus. Those senators who stand
1 ready to vote for ratification believe that
today's tost of strength, although it. loft
them in the minority, disclosed the fact
that they have enough voDs to prevent
the opponents of ratification securing the
two-thirds vote necessary to the indorse
ment of their position.
Senators Who Oppose.
The democratic membership of the sen
ate Is 33. At today's caucus the elevon
senators who voted against the considera
tion of Hie Panama, treaty with a view
: tn its being made a party nuasure were
; Bacon and Clay, of Georgia: Simmons
ami Overman, o’? North’ Carolina; Talia
ferro and Mallory, of Florida; Foster and
McEnery, ot Louisiana; Co krell, of Mis
souri; Horry and Clarke, of Arkansas.
This is one-third of the minority mem
bership. In addition to these It Is under
stood that Senator GiTs.m and Senator i
Clark, of Montana; S'nator Stone, of ■
Missouri, and Senator McCreary, ot' Ken- 1
tucky, will vote against making the J
treaty a party measure, thus leaving at
least 14 or 15 votes for ratification.
It developed during tho caucus discus
sion today, however, that some of these
senators, while on re'"i j favorable t )
vote for a Panama treaty, do not regard
themselves pledged to support all "f Hie
j features of tli.- present treaty. They re- I
servo the right to force the republicans to ■
: accept eert.a n amendments If they can ,
[ do so. Their present criticisms are aimed '
| :i.t that article' of the treaty in Which the
: Unit' d State's guitrnnt'.es the integrity 1
and indcp tidcn e of Hie republic of Pana
i ma.

to make war rests under the constitution ■
solely with the congress. How many of [
these who have signified their willingness I
to vote for the ratification of a proper '
treaty with Pana ma will join In the ef

GORMAN DISCUSSED
CANAL PROJECT. F
Democrats Want the Canal, but They
Want It with Honor—Gorman i
Says That Roosevelt Is
Posing - as Second
Napoleon.,
Washington. December 17 —The senate j
today was the scene of a most impor- j
tant debate on the Isthmian canal ques- ,
tion as affected by the president s rec- .
ognition of the independence of the re- I
public of Panama. The discussion began ‘
with a speech by Mr. Hoar on his reso
lution of inquiry and lasted several hours.
In addition to Mr. Hoar's address there
were speeches by Mr. Gorman ami Mr.
Foraker. AU three were notable utter
ances and of historical interest.
Sharp Criticism.
Mr. Hoar confined bis remarks to his
resolution and they wire carefully writ
ten out and read from manuscript. He
held that tliis country Ims not yet re
ceived full official information concerning
the isthmian involution, and criticized
in sharp f. rms the conduct ol tliis co.:
try as shown by what has been given
out. He compared the cond"et ot the I
United States on the isthmus to :• I"'- i
Herman, who would man-'i I" and hold .
a. person about to b'* .ittaeked for rn''- ,
bery and would insist on having the j
spoils of the theft, d-dlve: e.I to hitnsek. j
There was no res. ."-.'ation in Mr. Got- ;
man's utterances. He practically -"aid
that tb.e situation in Panam.-t hud been j
created to make a . anipaigii :uc. and '
changed Assist.’.nt S'.-re':ary of State,

unless further light was thrown on the ■
subject he would oppose the Panama :
treaty. He also referred to th' hnpetu- I
ous action of the executive :i".d declared 1
that the senate should prevent the joop- j
ardizing the business Interest of the cOun- j
try.
