War.

By Rufus Stephens

GIVE me the money that has been spent in war, and I will purchase every foot of land upon the globe. I will clothe every man, woman, and child in an attire of which kings and queens would be proud. I will build a school house on every hill-side, and every valley over the whole earth; I will build an academy in every town, and endow it; a college in every State, and fill it with professors; I will crown every hill with a place of worship, consecrated to the promulgation of the gospel of peace; I will support in every pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath morning, the chime on one hill should answer to the chime on another round the earth's wide circumference! and the voice of prayer, and the song of praise, should ascend like a universal holocaust of Heaven.—Rufus Stephens.
