The Growing Military Spirit.

Writing from London to an American religious magazine, Mr. Poultney Bigelow says of the South African war:—

"If there is a lesson which this war teaches, it is that universal military service should be at once adopted both in England and America."

On this sentiment the Oriental Watchman comments as follows:—

"The campaign has set a strong current running in that direction, and when the British Empire and America take to turning all their people into soldiers, as have the continental nations, everything in the world will be ready for Armageddon. The church and school 'boys' brigades' have been preparing the way for it."
