God grant that this latest parley will do more than all the other similar parleys for these thousands of years have done. Unless the nations stop at once their insane spending of almost their entire wealth ' preparing for war, the nations will perish. six months, or the last 600,000 years? The world sighs for eternal peace. arms when it thought it could gain by the taking. But has human nature changed in the last It always has sighed for it when it came to for its war foolishness. But to date the world has never hesitated to take up If this little bit of psychology had been realized when Woodrow was trying for a league of nations maybe more would have been accomplished. _ War will stop when YOU, and your brothers the world over, do not feel a thrill as 10,000 marching men thunder by to the rattle of drums. : i War has been bred in us for a million years; only late yesterday man heard of Christianity and sullenly listened to the strange doctrine of brotherly love, of meek- hess, and of a world where he was greatest who served, and he was least who profit- a by the work of others. - Man to that time had been barbarian for countless aeons; he carved his den in the miocene rocks, and slew the mammoth with a stone ax, and lugged off his neighbor's in the dark of the moon. Force, man to man, beast to beast, thus climbed round by round out of the primeval and as one is to a million so is the force of modern ethics even yet to the cave code. ‘The world must realize all this and must calmly face the thought of the innate sav- ery, the buried blood lust, that is in almost every son born of woman alive today. Bankruptcy of nations will. not stop war; pleasing words |between premiers and its will not stop war; age-old cravings and passions will not succumb to the ordered pleadings of diplomats. There is only one thing in the universe that will forever end war; it is the universal in the brotherhood of man; it is the acceptance of the essential doctrine of Christ, doctrine that was old imaginations of men as it did under His spell. when Jesus retaught it, but that had never caught War will never end because we believe if is a good thing for us to quit fighting; ‘will end when we feel that it is bestial to kill our brother. shalt love thy neighbor as thyself; there is no greater commandment than ttle-Tacoma Suppose that football layer named Moses will pull some famous bullrushes. cts inetgtihesty. sa cee Cities have more than 50 per cent of the popula- tion.

The reward you get for your dally toil is expressed in what you are able to buy—in the furnish- ings of your home, the food you eat, the luxuries you have, and the pleasures you obtain. Your ancestors, in those “glor- fous” days before the coming of machine production, had none of the luxuries you regard as necessi- ties.

He opened it at an imaginary map of London: “London! London! It fills the whole page! It fills the whole life and thought and imagination of many of its people! They eat and drink and worship London! They know nothing, think nothing but London!" Then he turned a page and found what he assumed to be a map of England: “And here in this corner of the map is London, just a little spider?’ In succession he turned to a map of Europe and to one of the world: “And upon a map of Europe, Eng- land is not very large, and Europe looks small upon a map of the Here he forsook his imaginary atlas, and said: “And now if you will take an orrery, if you know what that is— and if once I get the word said 1 Never make a second attempt—if you take an orrery, that shows the entire solar system, with the sun at the center, and the planets in place and this great earth's a child's marble— where now is London?” Then he sald— “A thing is not necessarily great because it is big, nor big because it is near!
