CONSTITUTION
OF THE
MASSACHUSETTS, PEACE SOCIETY.


in forming society, which it is hoped
may have an extensive influence, we, the sub
scribers, deem it proper to make concise de.
claratlon OF our motives and objects.
We have been strongly impressed, by con-
slderlng the manifold crimes and tremendous
calalnities OF publick war, and the melancholy
lnsensibility which has been induced by edu-
cation and habit, in regard to this most bar
barous, destructive, and unchrstian custom.
Our earnest wish is, that men may be brought
to view war IN just light, to see clearly its
oaleiul influence on the political, moral, and
religious condition of communities, and its
opposition to the design and spirit Of the Cos
pei. Most earnestly do we desire that men
may be brought to feel that spirit Of con-
quest Is among the most atrocious OF crimes !;
that the thirst for military glory is inhuman,
and ruinous, and that the true dignity and
happiness ola people result from impartial
Justice towards all nations, and the spirit and
virtues OF peace.
Various facts and considerations have con-
spired in exciting hope, that change may
be effected in publick sentiment, and more
happy state OF society introduced /: II ises'
IDENTITY the design and tendency of the gospel
to subdue the lusts and passions from which
wars and hghtings originate and encourage
ment is given that time will come when TN
nations will learn war no more. We believe
that great majority Of the people in every
civilized country, when free from the delu'
s'ons OF party passions and prejudices, have
such an aversion to publick hostilities that
they would rejoice, if any plan could be de-
vlsed, which would both secure their rights
and absolve them from the burdens and suffer-
lngs OF war. A late Treaty of Peace has
suggested the practcabiliiy Of such plan,
and given us an admirable lesson on the sub
Ject We now see, that when two govern
ments are inclined TO peace, they can make
some friendly power the umpire and last re-
sort, for settling points of controversy. For
this ray OF pacitick light we are grateful and
we hope that it will be like :" the shining
hight which shineth more and more unto the
perfect day." This hope is strengthened BY
rejecting on the animating fact that the hor'
rid custom Of private cars, which for ages de-
soiated Europe, was finally abolished by a
similar project.
