Copenhagen peace society, Rev. q.
Kemp of Copenhagen introduced the
discussion, emphasizing the duty Of
the ministers of the gospel to take
part In the great movement which has
for It's aim the establishment OF peace
between the nations. He complained
that the ministers in Copenhagen
have kept aloof, their contribution to
the peace movement being like blank
sheet OF paper. Rev. Prick Meier, a
Swedish Clergyman, also touched upon
the position of the church on this
question. He said that 1t was exceed
insly hard for the church to keep up
with the times, the pillars Of the
church usually being In the rear. He
was in hopes, however, that the min
listers will soon learn to see that, they
have a proper place in a movement
which aims at the ideal Of Christian
ity: Peace on Earth.
