Sweet land of lltierty
Tho subject of tho sermon want "Tho
Bwonl It Mission and Ita Doom.'1 Tho
text, Isaiah xxxlv, & "My swonl shall bo
bathed In henven."
Three, hundred and (lfty-ono times does
tho lllhlo Rpcnk of that sharp, keen, curved,
Inexorable weapon, which tl ashes upon us
from tho text tho Bword. Sometime the
mention Is npplnudutory and sometimes
dnmtiatory, sometimes asdrawn, sometimes
na sheathed. In the Bible, and in much
secular literature, tho swonl represents all
Javelins, nil muskets, all carbines, all guns,
nil police clubs, nil buttle, axes, all weaponry
for physical defense or nttack. It would
bo an interesting thing to give tho history
of tho Plow, and follow Its furrow all down
through tho ages, from tho first crop in
dial den to tho last crop in Minnesota. It
would bo interesting to follow tho Pen as
it has tracked its way on down through tho
Utcraturo of nations f rom its first word in
tho first book to tho last word which some
author last night wrota ns ho closod his
manuscript. It would ho an Interesting
thing to count tho echoes of tho Hammer
from tho first nail driven, down through
all tho mechanism of centuries to tho last
stroke in tho carpenter's shop yesterday.
Hut in this, my annual sermon as chaplain
cf tho Thirteenth regiment, I propose tak
ing up a weapon that has doho a work that
neither Plow nor Pen nor Hammer over
accomplished. My themo is tho swonl its
mission and its doom.
A SWOKI) OK MOHTEOU3XKSS.
Tho sword of the text was bathed in
heaven; that is, it was a sword of right
eousness, as another swonl may bo bathed
in hell, and the swonl of cruolty and
wrong. There is a great difference be
tween tho sword of Wluklereld and tho
sword of Cataliuc, between tho sword of
Lconldas and tho sword of Dcnudlct Ar
nold. In our clTort to hasten the end of
war, wo have hung tho sword, with abuses
and execrntions, when it has had a divine
mission, and when in many crises of tho
world's history it has swung for liberty
and justice, clvtlizutiou and righteousness
nnd God. At tho very opening of tho lllble
and on tho oast side of tho Ganlcn of Ktlen
God placed a tlamlng sword to defend the
tree of Ufa Of tho ofllcur of tho law St.
Paul declares: "He lic.ireth not tho swonl
in vain." Through Moses God commanded:
"Put every man hl swonl by his side."
David lu his prayer suyss "Gird thy sword
upon thy thigh, 0 most mighty." Ono of
the old b.ittlo shouts of tho Old Testament;
was, "Tho swonl of the Lml and of Gid
eon." Christ, lu a gro.it oxhjancy, said
that such u weapon was more Important
than a co.it, for lie declared "He that hath
no swonl, let him sell his gnrmout and buy
one." Again lio declared: "I como not to
send peace but a uw.ord," Of Christ's soc.
oiid coming Itlstiuid: "Out of his mouth
went a sharp, two edged sword." Tims,
sometimes figuratively, but oftonor liter
ally, the dlvlno mission of tho sword is an
nounced. Whut more cousecnited thing In tho
world than Joshua's swonl, or Caleb's
sword, or Gideon's swonl, or David's
swonl, or Washington's swonl, or Marion's
swonl, or Lafajette's sword, or Welling
ton's swonl, or Kosciusko's swonl, or Gnr
ibaldi's swonl, or hundreds of thousands
of American swonls that have again and
again lioon bathed in hoavun. Swords of
that kind have been tho best friends of tho
human race. They havo slain tyrannies,
pried open dungeons, and cleared tho way
for nations in their march upwnnl. It
was better for them to tnko tho swonl and
be free, than lie under tho oppressor's heel
and sutler. There is something worse than
death, and that is life if it must cringe mid
crouch before tho wrong. Turn over tho
leaves of tho world's history, and find that
there has never boon u tyranny stopped or
a nation lilcratcd except by tho sword. I
am not talking to you about tho way
things ought to be, but about the way they
havo been. What force drovu back tho
Saracens at Tours, and kept Europo from
being overwhelmed by Mohammedanism,
and, subsequently, all America given over
to Mohammedanism f Tho sword of Charles
Martol nnd his men. Who can deal enough
In Infinities to toll what was accomplished
for tho world's good by tho swonl of Joan
of Arc?
In December last I looked oil and saw in
tho distance, tho battlefield of Marathon,
and I asked myself whut was It that, on
that most tremendous day lu history,
stopped tho Persian hosts, representing not
only Persia, but Egypt, nnd Tripoli, and
Afghanistan, and Ucloochistan, and Vr
meula; n host that had Asia under toot
and proposed to put Europo under foot,
nnd, if successful in that battle, would
havo submerged by Asiatic barbarism
European civilization, and, as u conse
quence In nftertlmo, American clvlllzntiouf'
Tho swords of Miltiodes, nnd Themlstocles,
and Aristides. At tho waving of these
swords the eleven thousand lancers' of
Athens on tho run dashed against tho ono
hundred thousand insolent Persians, nnd
trampled them down or pushed them back
Into tho sea. The sword of that day saved
tho best part of tho hemispheres, a trinity
of keen steel flashing in the two lights
tho light of tho setting sun of barbarism,
tho light of tho rising sun of civilization.
Hail to theso thrco great swords bathed in
heaven!
THE BWOKO'S WOIIK FOU UOOD.
What put an eud to infamous Louis
XVI's plan of universal couquest, by
which Knglund would havo been made to
kneel on tho steps of tho Tullorles and tho
Anglo-Saxon race, would havo been halted
nnd all Europo paralyzed? Tho sword of
Marlborough, at Blenheim. Timo camo
when tho Roman war eagles, whoso lieuks
hod been punched Into tho hearts of na
tious, must bo brought down from their
eyries. All other attempts had disgrace
fully failed, but tho Germans, tho mightiest
untton for brawn and brain, undertook tho
work, and, under God, succeeded. What
drove back the Itomnn cavalry till tho
horses, wounded, flung their riders nnd tho
last rider perished, and the Ilercynlan
forest became tho scene of Home's humili
ation f Tho sword, tho bravo sword, the
triumphant swonl of Armlnlus.
While passing through Franco last Janu
ary my nerves tingled with oxcltoment and
I roso in the car, the better to sea the bat
tlefield of Chalons, tho mounds nnd breast
works still visible, though nearly 11 vo hun
dred years ago thwy were shoveled up.
Hero, Attlla, tho heathen monster, called
by himself tho "Scourgo of God, for tho
p.iulshmont of Christians," his llfo a mas
nacre of nations, came to Ignominious de
feat, and hu put into one gre.it pile the
wooden saddles of his cavalry, and tho
spoils of the cities and kingdoms ho hail
sacked, and placed on top of this holocaust
tho women who had accompanied him in
his devastating march, nnlerlng that tho
torch be put to tho pile. Whnt power
broke that swonl, nnd stayed that red
scourge of cruolty that was rolling over
Kuropaf The sword of Theodorlc nnd
Actlus.
TtirC INDKIMlN'tlKXCK OK TltK UNIT HI) 8TATK8.
To como down to later ngivs, all Intelll
gent Englishmen unite with all Intelligent
Americans in saying that It was tho best
thing that the American colonies swung
oil from the government of Groat Britain.
It would have been the worst ahsunlity of
4,000 years if this continent should have
continued In loyalty U) a throuo on the
other side of tho sea, Xo ono would pro
poso a governor general for the United
States as there Is ft governor geuornl for
Canada. Wo hnvo had splendid queens in
our American capital, hut wo could lmnlly
be brought to suport n queen on tho
other side of tho Atlantic, lovely and good
na Victoria Is. Tho only use wo havo for
carls and lonls and dukes lu this country
Is to treat them well when they pass
through to their hunting grounds In the
far west, or, when their fortunes hae
failed, ro-onfnrco them by wealthy matri
monial alliance. Imagine this nation
yet a part of English possessions!
Tho trouble tho mother country has
today with Ireland would Iks n
paradisaic condition compared with tho
trouble she would have with us, England
and the United States make excellent
neighbors, but the two families are too
largo to live in the same house. What n
godsend that we should have parted, and
parted long ago! Hut I can think of no
other way in which we could havo possibly
achieved American independence. Gcorgi
HI, the halt crazy king, would not havo let
us go. Lord North, Ills prime minister,
would not havo let us go. Gen. Lord Corn
wnllls would not havo lot us go, although
after Vorktown he was glad enough to
have us let him go, Ixlugtou, and Bun
ker Hill, and Monmouth, nnd Trenton, and
Valley Forge wore proofs positive that
they were not willing to let us go. Any
committed of Americans going across the
ocean to sue what could have been dona
would havo found no better accommoda
tions than IOtulon Tower. Tho only way
It could have been done was by tho swonl,
your grcit-grandfathor's swonl. Jeffer
son's pen could write tho Declaration of
Independence, but only Washington's
swonl could have achieved it, and tho other
swords bathed lu heaven.
it is a Rtir:Tiint) bwoiid.
So now the sword has' Its uses, although
it is a sheathed swonl. There is not an
armory in Brooklyn, or Now York, or
Philadelphia, or Chicago, or Charleston, or
Now Orleans, or any American city, thnt
could Iks spared. Wo havo lu all our Ameri
can cities a ruffian population, who,
though they ure sm.Ml In number, com
pared with tho good population, would
ngaiu and again make rough and stormy
times if, b ick of our mayors and common
councils nnd police, there were not in the
armories and arsenals some keen steel
which, if brought Into play, would make
quick work with mobocracy. There are in
every great community unprincipled men,
who like a row on a lurgc scale, and they
heat themselves with sour mash and old
rye and other decoctions, enriched with
blue vitriol, potash, turpentluo, sugar of
lead, sulphuric acid, logwood, strychnine,
night shade and other precious ingredients,
and take down it whole gloss with a re
sounding "Ah I" of satisfaction. When
they get that stuff in them nnd the blue
vitriol collides with tho potash, nnd the
turpentluo with tho sulphuric acid, tho vic
tims nre ready for anything but order and
decency nnd good government. Again and
again, in our American cities, has tho ne
cessity of homo guanls liecn demonstrated.
You remember how, when tho soldlors
were nil away to tho war in 1803-1, whut
conflagrations were kindled In tho streets
of Now York, nnd what negroes Wore hung.
Some of you remember the great riots in
Philadelphia at Arcs, sometimes kindled
Just for tho opportunity of uproar and do
spollutinn. In 18-10 a hiss at a theatre would
havo resulted in New York city being de
molished hud it not been for tho citizen
soldiery. Uecauso of an insult which tho
American actor, Edwin Forrest, had re
ceived lu England from tho friends of Mr.
Mac-ready, tho English actor, when the lat
ter appeared in New York, in Macbeth, the
distinguished Englishman was hissed and
mobbed, the walls of the city having beeu
placarded with tho announcement: "Shall
Americans or English rule In this cltyf "
Streets were filled with a crowd insane
with passion. Tho riot act was ro'id, but
it only evoked louder yolls and heuvior vol
leys of stones, and tho whole city was
threatened with vlolenco nnd assassina
tion. But tho Seventh regiment, under Gen.
Duryca. marched through Broadway, pre
ceded by mounted troops, nnd ut tho com
mand: "Fire! Guards! Fire!" tho mob scat
tered, and New York was saved. What
would hnvo become of Chicago, two or
three years ago, when tho police lay dead
In the streets, had not tho sharp command
of military officers been given? Do not
charge such scenes upon American institu
tions. They nre as old as tho Epheslan mob
that howled for two hours in Paul's time
about tho theatre, amid the ruins of which
I stood last January, Thoy were witnessed
in 1075 In London, when the weavers pa
raded tho streets and entered buildings to
destroy tho machinery of those who, be
cause of their new inventions, could under
sell tho rest. They were witnessed in 1781
at tho trial of Lonl George Gonlou, when
there was a religious riot. Again, lu 1710,
when tho rabhlo cried, "Dowu with the
Presbyterians! Down with tho meeting
houses!" There always havo boon, and al
ways will bo, In great communities, a class
of people that cannot govern themselves
and which ordinary menus cannot govern,
nnd there nre exigencies which nothing but
tho sword can meet Ayo, tho militia are
tho very Inst regiments that it will bo safe
to disband.
AUMTltAMENT WILL TAKE ITS PLACE.
Arbitrament will tako tho place of war
between uutlon and nation, nnd national
armies will disband ils u consequence, nnd
thw time will come God hasten Itt when
there will bo uo need of an American army
or navy, or u Russlun army or navy. But
some timo after that cities will havo to keep
their armories, and arsenals, and well
drilled militia, liecnuso until tho millennial
dny there will Iks populations with whom
arbitrament will bo ns Impossible as treaty
with u cavern of hyenas or a jungle of
snakes. These men who rob rtorcs nnd
give gnrroter's hug, and prowl about the
wharves at midnight, and rnttlo tho dico in
gambling hells, and go urmed with pistol
or dirk, will refrain from disturbance of
the public peace Just In proportion ns thoy
realize that tho militia of a city, Instead of
being an awkwnnl squad, and in danger of
nhootlnsr each other by mistake, or losing
their own llfo by looking down into tho
San barrel to sco If it is loaded, or getting
ia ramrod fast in thel r loot leg, are prompt
ns tho sunrise, keen ns tho north wind, po
tent ns n thunderbolt, and accurate, and
regular, and disciplined lu their move
ments ns tho planetary system,
Well douo, then, I say to tho legislatures,
nnd governors, nnd mayors, and nil oflh
clals who dceldo upon larger armories nnd
better plnce.s for drill and more genorous
equipment for tho militia. Tho sooner tho
swonl Can safely go back to tho scabbard
to stay there, tho totter; hut until tho hilt
claugs against the ease In that Anal lodg
ment, let tho swonl bo kept free from rust;
sharp all along tho edge, and Its point
llko n needle, and tho handle polished, not
only by tho chamois of tho regimental serv
ant, but by tho hand of bravo and patriotic,
ofucors, alwaH ready to do their full duty.
Such swonls are not bathed in imnetuosl
ty, or bathed In cruelty, or bathed In op
pression, or bathed lu outrage, hut bathed
In heaven.
Before 1 Kpenk of tho doom of tho Hwonl
lot mo nlso say that It has developed tho
grandest natures that tho world over saw.
It has doveloped courage that sublime
energy of tho soul which defies tho uni
verse when It feels Itself to lie Ut tho right.
It has doveloiied n self sacrifice whloh re
pudiates tho Idea that our llfo is worth
more than anything else, when for u prin
ciple it throws that llfo away, ns much ns
to say: It is not necessary that I live, hut
it is necessary' that righteousness triumph.
There are tens of thousands among tho
northern nnd southern veterans of our
civil war who nre 05 cr cent, larger nnd
mightier In soul than thoy would hnvo
been hud they not during tho four years of
national agony turned their back on homo
and fortune nnd ut tho front sacrificed nil
for a principle
It was tho nwonl which on tho northern
side developed a Grant, a McClelluu, a
Hooker, a Hancock, n Sherman, a Sheri
dan, and Admirals Parragut and Porter,
and on the southern side a Leo, a Jackson,
n Hill, a Gonlou and tho Johnstons, Albert
Sydney nnd Joseph E., nnd Admiral Sem
mes, nnd many Federals and Confederates
whoso graves In national cemeteries nre
marked "Unknown," yet who were Just us
self sacrificing and brave as any of their
major generals, and whoso resting places
nil up nnd down tho banks of tho Andros
cogglu, tho Hudson, tho Potomac, tho Mis
slppl and tho Alabama, hnvo recently been
snowed under with white flowers typical of
resurrection, nnd strewn with red (lowers
commemorative of tho carnago through
which they passed, and tho bluo flowers 11
lustrativo of tho skies through which they
ascended.
THE BWOItl) IS DOOMED.
But tho sword Is doomed. There Is ono
word that needs to lie written in every
throno room, in every war ofllcc, In every
navy ynrd, in every national council. That
wonl is Disarmament. But uo govern
ment can afford to throw its swonl away
until nil tho great governments havo
agreed to do tho same. Through the in
fluence of the recent convention of North
and South American governments nt
Washington, nnd through tho peace con
vention to be held next July lu London,
and other movements in which prime min
isters, nnd kings, and queens, nnd sultans,
nnd czars shall tako part, all clvlll.ed na
tions will como to disarmament, and If u
fow barbarian races decline to quit war,
then ull tho decent nations will wand out n
force of continental police to wipe out
from tho feco of tho earth tho miscreants.
But until disarmament and consequent
arbitration shall he agreed to by all the
great governments, nny single government
that dismantles Its fortresses, and spikes
Its guns, and breaks its sword, would
simply invites its own destruction. Sup-
poso, before such general agreement, Eng
land should throw nwny her sword; think
you France has forgotten Waterloo? Sup
pose before such general agreement, Ger
innny should throw away her swords how
long would Alsace and Lorraine stay as
they ure? Suppose tho czar of Russia Ikj
fore nny such general agreement should
throw nwny his sword; nil tho ovules and
vultures nnd lions of European power
would gather for a plocoof the Russian
bear. Suppose tho United States without
any such general agreement of disarma
ment should throw nwny hor swonl; it
would not be long before tho Nurrows of
our harbor would boablao with tho bunt
ing of foreign navies coming hero to show
tho folly of tho "Monroe doctrine."
ALL MUST AIMI TILL ALL DISAItJI.
Stdo by side tho two movements must go.
Completo armament until all agree to dls
armament. At the same command of
"Halt!" nil nations halting. At tho same
command of "Ground nrms!" nil muskets
thumping. At tho same command of
"Break ranks!" nil armies disbanding,
Thnt may bo nearer than you think. The
standing army Is the nightmare of na
tions. England wants to got rid of It, Ger
many is being eaten up by It, Russia is nl-.
most taxed to death with it. Suppose that
tho millions of men belonging to the stand
ing armies of tho world and in nbsolute
idleness, for tho most part of their lives,
should becomo producers, instead of con
sutners. Would not tho world's prosperi
ties Improve, and tho world's morals Is?
better? Or havo you tho heathenish Idea
that wnr is necessary to kill off tho sur
plus populations of tho earth, and that
without It tho world would lie so crowded
there would soon bo no reserved seats and
eveu tho standing room would bo exhaust
ed? Ah! Ithinkwocnntrusttothopucumc
nias, and the consumptions, und tho fevers,
nnd tho Ruhslan grippes to kill tho people
fast enough.
Beside that, when tho world gets too full
God will blow up tho whole concern nnd
start another world nnd a better ono. Bo
sido that, war kills tho people who can
least bo spared. It takes the pick of the
tuitions. Those whom wo could easily
spare to go to tho front, nre in tho peniten
tiary, and their duties detain them in that
limited sphere, No; it is tho public spirit
ed nnd tho valorous who go out to die
Mostly are they young men. If they were
nged, nnd had only flvo or ten years at the
most to live, tho sacrifice would not bo so
great. But It is those who hnvo forty or
fifty years to llvo who step into the Jaws
of battle. In our war Col. Ellsworth fell
whllo yet a mere lad. Renowned McPhcr
son was only 115. Magnlllcent Reynolds
was only -13. Hundreds of thousands fell
totwecn twenty and thirty years of age,
I looked into tho faces of tho French nnd
German troops ns the" nrcnt out to fight
at Sedan, nnd they were for tho most pnrt
armies of splendid boys. So lu all ages
war has preferred to socrlflco tho young.
Alexander the Great died at 32. Whan
wnr slays tho young it not only tnkes down
that which thoy nre, but that which they
might hnvo been,
THE GOOD TIME COMINQ.
So wo nre glad at tho Isaiah'c prophecy,
that tho time is coming when nation shall
not lift up swonl against nation. Indeed,
both swonls shall go back Into tho scab
bard tho sword bathed In hoaven and the
sword bathed In hell. In a war In Spain a
soldier went on u skirmishing expedition,
and, secluded In n bush, ho bad tho oppor
tusltr of shooting a soldier of tbo other
Army who tn.d strolled nwny from his tent.
Ho took aim nnd dropped him. Running
up to tho fallen man ho took his kunpsnok
for Rpoll, and n letter dropnd out of It,
nnd it turned out to bun letter signed by
his own father; in other words, ho had shot
his brother If tho brotherhood of man Ihi
a true doctrine, then ho who shoots an
other man always shoots his own brother.
What n horror Is war nnd Its cruelties wore
well Illustrated when tho Tartars, after
sweeping through Russia and Poland, dis
played with pride nine great sacks filled
with tho right ears of tho fallen, mid when
n correspondent of Tho London Times,
writing of tho wounded after tho battle of
Sedan, said "Every moan that tho human
yolco can utter roso from that heap of
n'gony, nml tho cries of 'Wntor! For tho
lovoof God, wntorl A doctorl Adoctorl'
novor censed,"
After war has wrought such cruelties,
how glad wo will lie to havo tho Old Mon
ster himself din. U't his dying couch bo
flpreud In some dismantled fortross.through
which the stormy winds howl, Give htm
for n pillow n battered shield, and let his
bed bo hard with the rusted bayonets Of tho
slain. Coverhlm with tho coarsest blanket
that picket c or wore, und let his only cup
lie tho bleached bono of ono of his war
chargers, and tho last tnper by his liedstdo
expire as the midnight blast sighs Into his
ear: "The enudlo of tho wlektsl shall lie
put out "
To-night against tho sky of tho glorious
future I seen great blnzo. It Is n foundry
In full blast Tho workmen have stirred
tho fires until tho furnaces nre seven times
heated. Tho lust wagon load of tho world's
swonls has Issjii hauled Into tho foundry,
nnd thoy ure tumbled Into tho furnace, and
theyliegiu to glow nnd redden und melt,
nnd In hissing and sparkling liquid they
roll on down through tho crevice of rock
until they fall Into iv mold shaped llko tho
iron foot of a plow Then tha liquid cools
off into a hard metal, and, brought out on
an anvil, It Is beaten nnd pounded und fash
ioned, stroke after stroke, until thnt which
was u weapon to reap harvests of men lie
comes nu Implement turning tho soil for
harvests of corn, the sword having becomo
tho plowshare.
