Letters and Resolutions.
The Universal Peace Society yesterday morning
celebrated their second anniversary at Dodworth
Hall. The audience quite small. Among those
present were Lucy Stone, Ernesne Rose, Josephine
S. Gri.lin Cora Hatch and C. H. Burlegh.
Alfred H. Love, of Philadelphia, President OF the
Soc ety. occupied the chair and Elizabeth b. Chase
acted as secretary.
On assuming the chair Mr. LOVE remarked that
their advocacy OF peace was not mere sckly senti-
ment. It did not grow out OF cOwardice or an easy,
siothful conscience. There was peace and could
be none while the conditions OF war existed. They
had united to force this ronclad front Of doubt op-
position and unpopularity. Considering the magni.

humble instruments engaged to perform it,

sec this glory here and our ears have heard the
sound" 1t seemed that the spirit of divine truth
alone should animate us, and upon that he dared TO
build his faith and hope All talked peace, prayed
peace, preached peace, governed for peace fought
for peace, and yet they were told that they hac
menced thousand years too soon to beat the sword
into the ploughshare and the spear into the prun
hook. If you wished to reach your homes you must
take the first STEP II must be accomplished by work.

logic, by m re devout prayers, but by work
and patience, by levelling or tunnelline 'he noun.

ten placing the engine upon it and movnr it to the
Pacific. This opportunity was to all a free one.
