Regrets

Editor

Without entering at all upon a consideration of the relative right involved in the war between Great Britain and the Boers, we cannot but express our deep regrets that so soon after the Peace Conference at The Hague, in which England bore so conspicuous a part, this unfortunate and bloody conflict should have ensued.

It is the more to be regretted since both parties to it in their national capacity are professors of the Christian religion. Let us hope that a precedent has not thus been established which will disannul the good effects of that great assemblage of peace ambassadors.

On the contrary, let us know that the angelic announcement of "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good-will toward men" which ushered in the Christian era is none the less operative, and will yet become the watchword of the nations of the earth.
