Tonight we saw them returning to theil
homes. Perhaps two score Of wives a,d
mothers who had spent half Of the day ii
offering sacrifices to their God, These good
women had been out to battle against an evil
They were women Of predijadice and yet Of
sympathy. Women who are in their sepa.
rate homes or in small circles very much
given to saying bad, and at times very ugly
things of the women they touched shoulders
with to-day as they directed Our Father who
art in Heaven as to His work and duty.
They went out at noon to direct the Lord
they have held their victims up to bleed and
tonight we saw them return singing for joy
over the great good they have accomplished
through prayer and the holding of weak men
and wounded lives up to scorn, epithct and
ridicule. ~ R@e
The spirit bids us write. On the wind as
it gently comes over meadow, flower fields
and through fragrant boughs laden with bios
SONS that promise abundant fruit, we send a
kind prayer for peace to the hearts Of our fel-
low men who have been weak and who have
been held to harden in the fire of excessive
zeal. Men are weak, but they do not mean
to do bad. Following that long prayer that
went up from all the northland-" smile upon
us, Our God, for we are better than they,n
came war and decentralization pestilential to
peace and disintegrating to Harmonious rela-
tions. Civil discord has pierced and perme-
ated every strata of society. The force of
stronger arms and magnetism of jealous men
who went forth armed on crusade for license
rather than liberty, spent its fury against hap
py homes and vested rights, and then di-
verged for pluudcr among the backcned
fingers of shame. The insanity of conquest
went like great plague over the land. It
created drought of truth and libcrality.
The entire northland tasted of the froth of
conquest Then arms were laid by, uniforms
were thrown aside and men filled with furious
flames went rioting over the fields of life.
When the stronger element grew tired and
from fill of wanton sport gave up the courses
of the day. then as did Ruth of old go forth
to CLEAN in the field, went the second wave of
their crusade. 1t was the echo of masculine
storm which had swept over the land. The
aggregation of great insanity born Of over
excitement based upon the mistaken idea that
God loves the strong and uproarious more
