OF the war between Us more than q

Rev, Joseph Walker, Of Queensland,
Australia, voiced peaceful sentiments
In behalf OF the land under the southern
cross He advised Americana 10 be
cautious, lest In teaching patriotism
they foster the spirit OF war.

wants, Is for men to live for their Coun-
try In deed, but to be opposed 70 every
thing mean or unjust and work to-
gether for peace, for the glory OF God

deny Mr.. Roberts seat among our
national lawmakers"
