An Intsresting Meeting Held mt DR.. Hoge's


The public meeting in connection with
the Peace Conference at the Second Pres
byterian church Sunday afternoon was
a very interesting occasion. but the pro
jectors OF the movement were disappoint-
ed at the attendance. which was not 50
large as was expected
Rev. DR.. Hoge presided and commend
ed the movement in high terms, and IN
trOduced Rev Dr. Campbell. chairman
or the Executive Committee. TO whose
labors the success OF the idea thus far
Is largely due. He explained the progress
ana purposes OF the organization, ana
outlined the possibilities Of the movement.
He said II was proposed TO create
among the people OF all Christian nations
OF the earth such sentiments against war
that the nations will be forced to submit
questions to arbitration. DR.. Campbell
said all the great religious bodies Of the
United States had endorsed the move
ment. and 1t had been received with much
favor throughout Great Britain. In Eng
land, Scotland and Ireland many Of the
greatest men in the affairs of church and
State have enlisted in the work. An or
ganization to cooperate with the one
been formed in Britain. on the conti-
nent Of Europe the movement
already has many friends, but the work,
DR. Campbell said, has reached point
where il will have either TO be STOPPED
or some one will have TO visit the coun-
tries on the continent and perfect or
ganization there. He wanted to soc a
represent ative sent by the American So
ciety and one from the branch in Eng
land.
Rev. W. j. Young, D. D.. also spoke in
behalf Of the movement from religious
standpoint.
Hon J. L. NJ. Curry followed DR.. Young,
and showed that the immense European
armies would be useless IL disputes could
be settled By arbitration, as proposed by
the Peace Conference.
He showed great familiarity with the
subject and discussed entertainingly the
war footing Of the European nations. DR..
people that wars are never necessary.
He believed that there are occasions when
only the sword can settle questions. But
he Endorsed most heartily this movement.
Arbitration, said he, Is not only being
adopted by persons and corporations TO
SETTLE disputes. but by nations as well.
Nations cannot disregard public sent-
ment. created by thu press, the puipit,
religious organizations, and other agen-
cies and II the peace movement arouses
public sentiment. arbitration Will become
almost universal
Mayor ElysOn made an appeal Tor
funds. He said DR.. Campbell had given
freeIv Of his time. but now the work Is
of such magnitude he ought not to be eN-
pected TO give his services without com
pensation. He wanted TO see $500 raised
with which TO continue the Work, anu ne
