Gordon made the foregoing declaration last night in St. Stephen s Church during the course of a the regular service had ended. Rev. Charles Gordon Paterson conducted the service the pastor occupying the pulpit Only for the special purpose of delivering his message on the War. Or. Gordon stud in this place from which a Man is asked to speak the truth of god and with this sacred gospel before us he must speak Only such words As he expects to give account of in the Day of judgment. H is As a Christian minister of the gospel More even than As a Canadian and a citizen of the British Empire that i venture to speak these words in your hearing to night we Are facing in our Empire a crisis such us none of us has Ever seen the Empire is facing a crisis the equal of which she has never experienced. We ought to approach this with the most solemn thoughts and the most Earnest minds. "1 have no sympathy at All with those wild fanatical exuberant exhibitions of what seems like an unholy Joy at the approach of War. I loathe London aug. The history of this armageddon is written no mat Tor what its outcome the world will know that so far As Germany was con corned if was a War of miscalculations. Germany has blundered in her pre Paratory and initial develop ment s All along the i line. Her own will come to realize this before Long. When they i so there will be and gnashing of Teeth. Present they Are hopelessly in the dark drunk with self Confidence they ire being dragged deeper and deeper into the uncertainties of a world War in the belief that fhe sword has been forced into the Kaiser s hand. Germany s miscalculations have been both political and military. They began with the cocksure sup position that the triple entente would not withstand the Shock of War. France was held to be Unready. Russia was pied with Ulster and disinclined under any circumstances to risk anything in a great Continental struggle not directly affecting her. Italy s help was regarded As a conclusion. The idea of the belgians resistance to Germany s temporary invasion was hardly considered. That Belgium could offer worthy of Plevna never entered Berlin s mind. American sympathy was absolutely counted upon. Its absence1 is the cruellest disappointment the Kaiser s government has so far suffered. Its miscalculations in regard to eng land were perhaps the greatest of All. It scouted the thought of an English. Army or the idea that a Kitchener might suddenly be placed in charge of it. The germans have been educated by their political professors to believe that a great european War which involved great the inde Jio Denoe of Canada and South Africa and to evolutions in India and Egypt. F the hour of rude awaken ing has set in. Great soldiers and statesmen warned that the War would produce surprises. Have begun with a vengeance. Because in protest he yelled areas two italians were put to on. The Road Between Immen Dingen and Walc shut Oue because he objected to having a German passenger on the Tram sit Tipon him the other following an argument with a German Over the closing of a train window.

Despatch daily Telegraph from Brussels that Germany is mobilizing to million of men who include the Landstrum for the invasion France by virtue of their manhood and their nationhood the right to say How they be governed this is the spirit statement on the War made after roses and will oppose to the bitter end the ancient spirit of Feudal jaw. Sooner or later these two principles Are bound to tin Empire that stands upon Force is doomed to destruction sooner or later. We do not believe that god Ever gave to any one Man the right to dictate to Mil Lions of others his own opinion and his own will. We do not believe that god Ever gave to any one Man the right and the privilege of telling fifty or million to act much less of to All the states of Europe m what manner they should conduct affairs. Great Britain and the British Empire Challenge the German emperor on this Point. Events have proved that deep Down in the heart of the. German emperor lies the ambition to impose ins will on All Europe and England to Day the towering dominance of this War lord Britain s action approved. It is significant that when the ques Tion of opposing Germany came before Heads British Fleet it with All my soul. War to Rne is horror unspeakable and i cannot understand a Christian Man to whom the thought of War brings any thrill except the thrill of sadness and of Hor ror. But it has come to us and we must face it. The cause is not that wicked act of a mad barbarian ser Vian Assassin. That is a Mere Inci Dent. Cause lies deep the cause lies deep in two great fundamental principles first the idealization of Force As a condition of Empire the worship of brute Force As the foundation of Empire building. In the forefront of those nations who idealize brute Force stands the Empire of Ger Many the most successful example of brute Force organized to its highest men raised their voices against it there has always been a Strong peace party in with Many representatives in both the great political the second causes that spirit limit. Of feudalism which has As its main principle the right of a Strong Man to Rio the weak and to impose his will on the multitude. This Feudal spirit is exemplified in More than one euro Pean Russia in Turkey in Austria. But pre eminently it is most or of the great personality that dominates by its own Strong will and conviction of god Given and god appointed right to Rule. Challenge Feudal system the modern spirit is tie Challenge of that ancient principle it maintains that the people have the right to Rule themselves whether they Are big peo ple or Small they have from god parties. Consider then How moment Ous it is that Everi party and almost every Man supported the proposition to Challenge Germany. It must have been a great moment in the British parliament a moment that will thrill the Uges. It makes us think that those who live closes t to the event Are convinced there was Noth nig for it but to accept the Challenge land take up the Gauntlet that Ger Many threw Down. It would be difficult Tor us in Canada to a wholeheartedly into this War were we not absolutely sure of our justification. Giving whole hearted support there have been wars undertaken by England for which it was difficult to secure the support of All canadians there were heart searching Over the Boer War. Many opposed it Many remained silent. But it is not so to Day. We believe we Are fighting in the greatest and perhaps the last fight that the world is to wage for. A free democracy. For us there successfully exemplified in the Emper is one outstanding truth in the pres . Ence of this emergency it is that All smaller differences must be forgotten vye Are not liberals nor conservatives we no East or West. We Are not Jim Hsih or French. We Are canadians and citizens of the Empire United As one with one purpose to which we give. and lives and from which we shall never., please. God turn Back. We must be prepared for Sacri fice. Any Man who thinks lightly or jauntily of War. Is a fool. Any Man who thinks this is going to be a cheer Admiral sir thrilling episode on Ocean Steamer Cowans perfection Cocoa just the right flavor fill and a somewhat glorious has neither read history nor does he know the signs of his own times we Are facing a very serious and import ant experience. We must go into this thing calmly and quietly resolved sacrifice to the limit. Do int a few victories along the Skirm Ishing that achieved by the Gallant belgians at the heart of the struggle. Prepared for sacrifice sons and daughters of our Empire May pour out their blood and their Money until they Are drained of both before it is Over. But we come from fathers who have made sacrifice com plete in the old Day Sand we the sons Are prepared to make in our Day fits sacrifice Complete. Lastly let me s a this to must be on our guard against evil temper. We have no War against the German people than whom there ire no finer people in the world. We to War. And we shall never cease London aug. Aboard which arrived yesterday at Southampton from new York had their first insight into the meaning of War wednesday night when the decks were canvassed in the port holes shuttered lights and no Tice was Given that As a precautionary measure the ship would sail without lights during the night. Passengers were ordered to do without their staterooms. The impression prevailed that the oceanic was pursued by German War ships. We raced for two Days and said one of t in passengers. Thursday a had a thrill. We saw smoke on the horizon. Through Marine glasses we could see that it came from War Craft.
