I spgak of the Treaty of Peace which is now before you for ratification or rejection, and of the League of Nations which is a part of it; and would ask you to bear in mind a few plain points. It is often the obvious and simple elements ofa question which, in the complexities of debate, we forget. , First, this League matter is not, and ought not to be made, a partisan question. It is too bige | It is a question as big as the United States, indeed as big as the World. e It is as big as the war. Everybody but a fool knows that the war was not fought and won by a political party, | or by any one section of this nation. Repub- licans and Democrats died side by side on the fields of France. The League of Nations was the natural outcome of the League formed on the bat- tlefield. As the war could not be won \against so powerful an enemy without a \full concert of civilization, so the peace so | hardly gained cannot be continued if civil- ization again falls apart. The League is the first intelligent effort of the whole human race to do away with war; and war is so great a curse that only the combined efforts of all mankind can re- move it. As such, you surely, the highest repre- sentative body of the most enlightened na- tion on earth, will certainly look on it with favor and make any sacrifice to insure its success.

And the League of Nations was conceived in the very spirit in which the war was fought and won—to end the long reign of militarism. Drop your differences. Nations is greater than y man’s vanity. It outweighs any man’s rancor. _ It is more tremendous than any party issue, No question within the range of imagi- nation could come before you as fraught with importance as the question of doing something TO STOP WAR. Think of the next war! Just the other day a dirigible balloon reached our shores from Europe in a few hours. You do not have to be told what that means, what new and appalling terrors it implies. Get together, gentlemen. Some way, we care not how, adjust your differences and get this nation squarely in line with the common purpose of humanity TO STOP WAR. The League of In a few years the President and all the} present Senators will disappear, for you must all pass away. But this issue now be- fore you, the most momentous question ever before any deliberative body on earth, shall, in its settlement, bless or curse mankind for- ever. A hundred million of your fellow citizens, nay, all peoples and races of earth, and the God of destiny who stands unseen behind them, await your action. May that God give you guidance and lift you to a sense of your great responsibility ! And may God grant that you talk and vote, not as Partisans, but as Americans! Two Short Sermons By REV.
