At the evening session discussion ensued on
the resolutions, which took wide range, and
was pariicipatedin by number of the audience.
The Bible was referred to as favoring peace,
and one gentleman thought it advocated war.

nate peace ideas in his own heart by practising
Christian virtues, and there would be no cause
for either arbitration or war.
