During the week of Prayer Services in Richmond, Va., the special theme for the Tuesday night meeting was "Nations and Rulers." The Dispatch says.

"Rev. M. D. Hoge, D. D., followed in an address of rare power and eloquence. The men needed in the high places of the nation, he said, are upright men-honest, brave, truthful, and self-sacrificing-for with such men in the forefront the people feel safe and satisfied. We need men who feel their responsibility to the King of Kings. Had we more such men, even now our country would not at this very moment be engaged in an unholy and iniquitous Indian war. The speaker here expressed his tender sympathy for the poor abused red man, who had been driven from home and hunting-grounds since the beginning of the history of this country. And how strange the contrast between the treatment of the two prominent races in our land-viz., the ballot for the negro and bullet for the Indian. There are civilized and Christianized tribes of Indians, and the Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, can do more to bring about peace on earth and good will toward man than all the armies of the world."
