International Relationships.

Il do not believe that war should be the
object of international relationships for no
war has ever settled anything definitely.
The council has for of its objects
the organization by the world of men of
permanent international parliament The
difficulties in the way of peace would by
such a parliament be diminished. Each ma
ton, large or small, would have an equal
number of votes. Each would recognize the
brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of
God. This is not more impossible than this
meeting to discuss the subject we are dis
cussing would have seemed to the world
at the time the Indians roamed over the
site of the present city of Washington. We
should have a largeness of faith and ideals
that no one nation can possibly have and
in such a parliament the smallest nation
would receive as much Difference and cour
teSy as the greatest nation

Chandler as the founder of the Green Acre
Fellowship at Eliot, Me-, eleven years ago.
paid tribute to the wonderful words and
picturesque language illustrating the prog
ress of civii:fng influences of the preced-
ing speakers, and said the chairman had
asked questions which the intellect cannot
answer, and which plunses one into deep
er sea of trouble.
The answer" she continued, must come
from the marvellous power of the spirit of
God. There is light enough In the world.
there is knowledge enough in the world
that can bring peace. The weapon we shall
to make way for this wonderful event
to which the whole creation looks is love
the love which does not recognize war.
Have you, as an individual ever tried in
your life, in your home life, In your
work, to meet it with the perfect love
which fulfills all law? 1t took me long
time to find that the law is love; that out
ward law is manifestation of love. We
must each one of us become the mirror
through which is reflected the character of
God. which is love. This was the spirit in
which Green Acre was conceived. Who
ever comes there comes in the spirit of
love; they come to be instructed; they come
to grow in the image and likeness of God,
laying aside all criticism. Plenty of faults
abound, but in the broadened and heighten-
ed vision of these jewellers beneath the
spreading pines and beside the still wa
tiers, differing lines Of character and diverse
creeds are harmonized into perfect unity.
Here the kingdom of love rules, and the
city beautiful is visoned the green,
grassy banks of the Piscataqua.
ITO escape war, must hold our peace
and not protest against the wrong. Stand
silent! There was one 1900 years ago that
answered never a word. He said there can
be power only as it is given you. 1t is
possible for the world to rise above itself,
and I want to say, dear friends, the men
see 1t as clearly the women do, only
they see It in different way. When one
considers peace there Is no difference be-
tween men and women, except in the prov
idence of God; each have a different way
of working for it. You ask. How shall we
bring the manifestation of peace? This
pea ce is already here, and this peace every
soul brought into the world at birth. You
imagine something that does not exist
Peace is In the heart of every living be-
ing. Phillips Brooks once said: The word
of God Is made flesh and dwells in the
world

Acre and its purposes.
