 l men and the greatest acts of our nation
 are those men whose lives and whose acts whose perfumes have breathed the prayer of Jesus, That they may be one even as we are one" What nobler sentiment could characterize the for eign policy of nation than that found in the Farewell Address of Washington in these words, Observe good faith and justice toward all nations; cultivate peace and harmony with all" How in l perfect accord this is with the immor- tai Lincoln's second ton, which at the time it was spoken was most severely criticised, but which time has written as the greatest monu- ment to his fame with malace to- ward none; with charity for all" There may come time when General Grants rifle shot sayings, such as, Unconditional surrender" and II pro- pose to fight it out on this line" will be forgotten, but these words carved on his tomb, "Let us have peace," will be cherished in mems hearts as long as the English language is a medium of thought. That battle scared hero on his death-bed, unable to speak, wrote a prophecy of the era he believed coming over north and south, concluding with the words: "The universally kind feel ing expressed for me at time when it was supposed that each day would prove my last, seems to me to be the beginning of the answer, Let us have peace" When future ages shall write the worth of James G. Blaine, high above everything else will stand his Pan Amei ican convention. At the c,ose of that reciprocity convention. when MT. Blaine addressed the delegates on peace, one who was present declared that never before had he seen such light on the great leaders countenance. such sparkle in his eye, such man Hesitation of spiritual power in what he spoke. In reply to congratulations at the close MT. Blaine answered, This is the beginning of the end" What a wonderful chapter was added to this at Buffalo, as our president gave ex- pression to the very sentiments for which MT. Blaine stood, while about him clustered the fulf1llment of Grants phophecy, and on him seemed to rest the mantles of Washington and Ln- coln. The words with which he closed that address will rank with the best traditions of the race: Let us ever remember that our interest is in con- cord not conflict and that our real em- thence rests in the victories of peace not those of war" Our earnest pray CT is that God will vouchsafe prosperi- ty happiness and peace to all our neighbors, and like blessings to all peo- pies and powers of the earth
 The signs are plain. We are ap- preaching the beginning of the end, when conflict shall give way to arbitra- tion, war to commerce, intemperance to self-control.
 'Till the war drum throbs no longer,
 and the battle flags are furled In the Parliament of man, the fedora
 tion of the World"
 when one shall be our Master, Jesus Christ the Lord and King, and we all as brethren shall dwell together in uni- ty. That they may be one even as we are one.'
 We each have part in effecting this result. Yes, but my life is so small and 30 insignificant. True, Yet every life in the sight of the Father is an i'm portant life, and it is only by our in- dvidual purity, tolerance and love, our oneness with Jesus, that we can ever reach our ideals of unity in church and in state. Let this then be our aim. The Lord our Righteous ness. Let this be our banner, The Lord our Righteousness. And in our homes let it be raised, over our churches let 1t float entwined with the flag of our country, let it be waited on the breeze, The Lord our Righteousness, And unto Him who gave us the good things of the year, the blessings of home and church and native land, let us show forth our thanksgiving by making not only our words but our lives an offer ing to His service That they may be one even as we are one
