The president appeals ,, {OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW.j ritti'ii for the Titncti-Reuubliciin. Keeeiuly an orthodox clergyman In an American church, referring lo the new possessions of these United States, petitioned the Almighty for wisdom oil the part ot those authority over us in governing these new lands "that have come into our possession by Thy providence or by human mistakes." The. sentences in quotation are the text of this lay sermon. For some uncer tainly. so much of doubt is shown in them that they suggest an orthodox position of nenosticism quite out of the ordinary. ith one ot the privileges ot the cloth this lay preacher will first inke up th.' "human mistakes." Sec ondly the Providence ot God, and final ly attempt to prove, that "human mis takes" are equally providential lo those of mimaii success. Assuming that wo came into posses sion ot tile Philippines, Porto Klco and the island ot Guam, as well as Hawaii, by the mistakes of man, let us see what tin were. No need for the argument to go back of tile known national char acteristics- of tile Spaniards. They made a mistake in governing Cuba by cruelty and oppression. Tnen some body made a lnlstaite of blowing up the Maine. Soon after .Spain made a great mistake by declaring war against this untry. This was followed by the capture of Manila by Dewey and, ac cording to tile anti-imperialists, he made a mistake in not sailing away after his decisive battle. Then con gress made a mistake and .ratified the treaty witli Spain, and McKinley made a mistake by trying to hold by' force territory ceded to us by those who were in nominal possession of it. Aguii'.aldo made a mistake in starting his insur rection. This would seein to be a fair statement of the mistakes of men in tliis drama of human hisLory. Of course these so-called mistakes are only so from different points of view. Now let us try and trace the hand of Providence. Clearly the Cubans must see the work of Die Almighty in bring ing about a sentiment in this country that resulted in driving the Spaniard from the beautiful island. And was ii not the work of Providence that used this war with Spain to unite the north and south together in fraternal bonds, oniy to lie so but by a renewed com mon interest? Can we doubt that tlie possession of the Philippines by this country, i.« one of the providences of God to civilize, educate and Christian ize the people of thos»: islands? Ask the most pessimistic anti-imperialist of the country what the probable condi tion of these foreign lands would have lie-n in l'.'.M) under the continual rule of Spain. Then ask what we shall prob ably find in litr.O under American rule. Ask tiie same of Hawaii, Porto Ttico tnd Giiam.

And now, my friends, what are the mistakes of man but the providences oi God? "God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to perform." Let us try and drop the. idea that. Providence works directly. Plagues, famine and war can only occur by the will of the Almighty. The Maine was blown up— iiinv? By the act the devil? Who believes such stuff these days? By the ad of Providence? Monstrous ideal Were the cruelties of the English in India the work of Providence? Is the war in the Pouilan directed by the Al mighty? Was Napoleon commissioned by G.'d? Did God supervise the driv ing of the Indians of this country from their possessions? Is the Lord behind the English army in th=-ir conflict with the Boers?

Let ui divest ourselves of our personal im portance. Realize that the dlstiiine between man anil his Creator is as far as tile distance between man and the insect lie unconsciously treads upon. Multiply the comparison by a million and then we have'only commenced to express it. l*?t us agree that this world has a Creator. Try if we can to avoid giving him attributes we know nothing of. Easy is it to assume that He is kind and has provided for all wants. Hut is it not ihe more reilgio to avoid the theory of a personal, ii rect Providence watching over us and directing al! of our actions and mis takes? Why not recognize Providence as the author of law and r.^ieve the Almighty of the acts of man?
