Charles Bieler, representing Canada, gave an address on “The Healing of France.” In her message she sald that there was nothing which could bind people more closely than gorrow. During the last ten years of | our friendship we have labored to-| gether, wept together and have re- | joiced together in that great common | bond of our love for France. “I will try to explain France's at- | titude and prove to you that we need ‘not be ashamed to make friends with her. The law of justice claims that Germany shall be deprived of the military system she used so cruelly and that she shall repair all dama-| ges of war. The treaty of Versailles| was only a ‘scrap of paper’ and Pres- ident Ebert signed it. Germany prom- {sed to demobilize and is now train- ing 2,000,000 soldiers for her army. Germany executed the treaty to put herself on a firm basis so as to pay her debts. It is Germany and Ger- many alone who is responsible for the heart rending situation of her middle classes. The total amount pay. lable by Germany to France is $102,- 000,000,000, Of this sum she has only pald $4,000,000,000.

Rev. Dr. G. W. C. Hill presiding. Rev. |8amuel Sutcliffe gave a Scripture | reading and Rev. H. W. Maier led in | prayer, Rev, James Gordon Gilkey was the speaker of the evening and spoke as follows: says Religion Can Kill War “Commerce killed famine; science killed pestilence. But only religion Fvening Program | oned according to the wealth then and of HERALD, THURSDAY, X hurch, can kill war, Without God we are without hope; without God we are lost,! These were the words of Rev, James Gordon Gilkey of Springfleld, who spoke at the convention of the McAll assoclation last evening at the South Congregational church, Civilization has been shattered, said Rev, Mr, Gilkey, The people are looking out from the ruins on the menace of another world war, He compared the world of today with the ruins of Pompeil after the erup- tion of Vesuvius, saying, "Will the voicano erupt again or will we be al- lowed to rebuild?" “Can we hope for a world peace or is the international structure of peace to go down in sudden disaster?” asked the speaker. According to him, there are several facts whieh bring fear of another world war, as the matter of increased armaments, The speaker told of the numerous engines of war and destruction that are being invented, a polson gus, dead- ly to vegetable and animal matter as well as human beings; powerful X-rays operated from aeroplanes, which can kill thousands; noiseless| steel pleces, and others. | Seces Era of Peace Approaching | “Are we llving in a fool's paradise?" | asked the speaker, "or is there some- g that gives us grounds for our deeper thoughts?” Below the sur- face, he said, there are great spiritual changes that give us grounds for the feeling that an era of perpetual peace is approaching. One of these changes, according to Rev Mr. Gilkey, is the new attitude of the world toward war, In the past and in the middle ages war was looked upon as a glorious venture.| That it was a glorious venture was made clear in the histories which made all warriors heroes. In many of the hymns now sung in churches the same idea is portrayed. “However, people are now dream-| ing new dreams and thinking new thoughts,” he said. “War is not glori- ous, it is hard and bloody. People| are thinking ancw about the stupid| murder of those with whom they| might be friends. The world has| abandoned one of its oldest ideas.” | Another change is that war is too| expensive. The wars of old were| comparatively cheap affairs, as reck- wealth now. The last war cost $10,- 000,000 an hour. To emphasize the greatness of this sum the speaker said that if all the money from Spring- ficld’s factories was to be gathered in a huge pile to pay the expenses of the/| past war, all that money would last| but three hours, $30,000,000. In re-| gard to human life it would take four | months for the ghosts of the soldiers| killed in the war to pass a given point, walking 20 abreast, without a break in the line. Another change, spiritually, is the| |increase in human kindness, he said. | The old world was ' # callous and brutal place. Rev. Mr. Gilkey said that 200 years ago the insane asylum of London were the show places of the city. Anyone could go in and have a hearty laugh at the antics of the people confined there. If one of the inmates became angry he was pun- ished with a club. Today, the speaker said, the agen- | cies for good will have indreased to |such an extent that it is now a prob- lem for the well-to-do people to keep |them all going, contributions are so | constantly needed. “The new spirit | mays, ‘War is too awful, too cruel; we |must have world peace,” said Rev. ( Mr. Gilkey. ‘ One hundred years ago, he went on, | slavery was a firmly cstablished in- | stitution. It was supported and justi- | fied by an unthinking people in both | the north and south, However, some- thing strange happened. Sudden | | COMB SAGETEA ~ INTO GRAY HAIR | Three Tenement House on Winthrop fAY 3, 1023, most of the delegates to the annual meeting of the MecAll Mission now in pro gress in this eity, changes came and suddenly slavery became outworn and went the way of outgrown things, “Will war go?" asked the speaker, ! answering, “Yes! The spiritual forces that ended slavery are all at work and some day they will bring an end to war'" If the world ean be kept at peace until 1970 the forces for war will be even more discredited and the forces for peace will be even stronger, is the speaker's opinion, P w‘m In talking of the McAll work he 88 sald that there are two features in it that are of profound importance, The hope of the world is with its boys One of the most delightful events and girls who will have charge of |on the program of the McAll con the future, The present mnl-rnlonl\\ennon which is being held heve took must work for them, They must be | place yesterday afternoon at the given strong bodies, clear minds and | Shuttle Meadow club when the Chil vistons of world peace, One feature dren’s McAll were hosts at an ontel of the McAll work Is that it appeals tainment, The entertalnment which to the religious instinct, he sald, was directed by Mrs, Willlam Dalzell “Without God we are without hope; (and Miss Bertha Chamberlain, was without God we are lost,”” concluded |in the form of a three act play with Rev.
