439: "And he arose and rebuked the
wind and said unto the sea, Peace, be
STILL And the wind ceased and there
was a great calm" He said in part:
How like an army with banners the
world came marching down the broad
highways of time to meet Jesus Christ
A little day of peace and love In Eden,
then sin and the long story of conflict.
History writing itself on tablets OF
bronze with stylus dripped in blood
Of the storm of elements and passion
"It is q night Of storm; the lurid
lightning plows furrows of binding
light along the black fields Of the skies;
the mountains tremble and the sea
leaps to meet the frowning skies.
figure, unarmed, tender with the grace
of young manhood, beautiful In the
majesty of perfect calm, rises In the
stern of a frail craft, toy tosses to
and fro, the helpless plaything OF the
shouting pillows and shrieking wlnos.
The man standing in the pilots seat is
the Son of God, the fishers boat Is the
throne of the universe. The affrighted
crew Of common men-the conquerors
Of the world, Is a picture of the uni
versal unrest and terror that was the
world. Standing in the rocking poat'
the type of his church, he spake In the
still small voice of eternal majesty and
infinite authority, a command that fell
strangely upon the heart of the war
ring world. When in the first hour OF
his life he lay a breathing lily bud pill
lowed on the virgins heart, the gates
of heaven were swung open and the
flood of roseate splendor, swept earth
ward in airy echelon, shouting and
singing to men, Glory to God-Peace!
Conquest by Peace
did the world of men hear the voice
on blue Galilee? The conquest of the
world by peace began with that COM
mand. In the west an island Kingdom
lifted it's puissant scepter and the
marching armies and swift sailing nav
ture of England. From its loins sprang
forth the mighty republic carrying as
its scepter of authority the flag that has
never known defeat-the youngest OF
the nations girding the world with It's
navies, and calling into its marts the
handiwork of the world by the arts Oh
peace, the land that we call home
1.-THE dream of peace was sure
prophecy. The years were and are now
fulfilling it. Gods fatherhood' was
teaching men the sweet mysteries OF
human brotherhood. Thou shalt love
thy neighbor as thyself' spake the
Christ, and To-! in loving answer the
first hospital in the world was builded
by a disciple of Christ, Christian wo-
man, Fabiola, Roman matron.
THE triumphs of peace endure They
are clean and sweet. Take the history
of our own dealing with the Indians.
War after war, century of dishonor,
broken treaties one after another, until
the veriest savage who still clings to
his blanket feels contempt for the
pledged word Of the United States.
Once Woe Was the Rule
"A thousand years ago war was the
rule, peace the exception. To keep the
race of man alive, to save the women
and little ones from starvation, the
church proclaimed the truce of God,
a special peace for the husbandman at
the plow and the workman at his trade.
But men say, we must have peace
with honor. My brethren, that peace
God has given to our land. God keep
green and fadeless forever the laurels
that wreath the memories of the heroes
of our wars, the soldiers and sailors to
whom he has given the blessing of eter-
nal peace"
