The sentiment of the conference was
unanimously in favor of the course pur-
sued by President Mckinley, in refer
ence to the Spanish Cuban troubles; the
closing words of the report on this ques-
ton are very emphatic and are as follows:
We believe that the interests of justice
and humanity demand immediate cessa-
ton of war, which has been prolonged
for SO great period with SO much suffer
ing and loss.
If, despite all efforts for honorable
peace, war shall be found inevitable, we
will, in the words of our revered and
martyred Lincoln, invoke for our coun-
try "the favor of Almighty God and the
considerable judgment OF mankind" and
will render loyal and unwavering sup
portin whatever action the government
may find necessary to maintain the honor
of our nation.
