DIR. HALLS RESOLUTION.
The following preamble and resolution
were submitted by Or. j. j. Hall. Of
Norfolk:
Whereas. Governments are Instituted
among men FOR the protection Of life and
proprty. and the securing the greatest
good to the grestest number; and
Whereas, the greatest loss of life and
property occurs during a war. either
foreign or civil. during which the COM
mon peaple are the greatest sufferers;
and
Whereas. war, and the taking Of hu-
man life. and the cOnhscating the goods
| and the homes of our enemies are con-
trary to the spirit OF Christianity. and
engender hatred rather than love; and
Whereas. the United States Govern
ment has heretofore settled very many
important ullutullltS UtlNttu the various
nations OF the world and herself by
peaceful arbitration. without resort TO
war. and with comparatively small out
| lay Of money; therefore
Resolved, by southern Baptists. That
| we join the other denominations Of
| Christendom I'm petitioning the govern
ments Of the world TO resort to arbitra-
| tion instead OF war for he settlement
OF all disputes that may hereafter arise
among nations; and that for the purpose
! of effectually securing arbitration. we
favor the establishment of an Interna-
tional Arbitration Court or High Court
| of Nations.
The resolution was heartily and unani-
mously adopted.

OTHFB INTERESTING NOTES.
There are great many questions which
| have been discussed privately that have
| come before the Convention, especially
| as 10 the methods OF the work Of the
| boards. The leaders are not sufficiently
agreed among themselves. and so saw
nothing could be done at this time There
is ereat rejoicing, as well as surprise
over the good work done last year. but
| there is a deep and widespread convic-
| ton that much more could and ought TO
| be done.
The fortieth session (and rot the thlr-
| y-ninth, as the secretaries first reported
Of the Southern Baptist Convention
has been a most delightful one. The great
