SHAKERS FOR PEACE.

The Central Executive OF All the
Shaker Societies" has issued an invita-
ton 70 tho people Of the world to at
tend a peace conference to be held at
Mount Lebanon, n, v. the last day ~
this month. Such an invitation comes
properly from an association that be-
l!eyes IN the doctrine Of non-resistance.
The so-callcd Shakers came 10 this
country before the Revolution, when
Mother Ann Lee and few friends ar
rived from England and settled near
Wateryliet, n. Y, But somehow,
though they have maintained their eN-
lstcnce as n society their influence has
cot been felt extensively. They have
faithfully adhered 10 their belief In the
possibility Of abolishing war, ana the
time should now be ripe for q general
movement IN that direction. The cir
cular says in part
For 80 years the Shakers have been
showing that n Is possible for men and
women 10 approach the highest Ideals
OF human brotherhood. living at peace
with the world and among themselves,
and tbcv believe that az a rule of ac-
ton the principles OF peace and broth-
erhood are capable Of the widest appll-
cation. From the beginning they have
maintained that the interests OF man
kind are not divided. but In common
and they ask YOU 10 Join with them
I'm this convention, and lend your aid
I'm favor OF international peace and ar
bitratlon. and 10 prove TO the world the
iuhumanity and stupidity of war, the
suffering Il entails, and its economic
waste
The Shakers hold views and ideas
that others must necessarily reject as
unscriptural, but in their efforts for
the establishment Of universal peace,
We believe all friends Of mankind can
co-labor with them. or at least sincere
~ wish them success.
The world needs a popular movement
for that object Statesmen and gov
ernments are very largely converted to
The peace doctrine, because they know
the enormity OF the sacrifices wars now
entail But they are not supported by
popular sentiment TO the extent neces-
sary for the stabfHty OF peace. Only an
earnest propaganda among the masses
Of the people can secure the desired
end, and for that reason every effort
10 make peace popular and strife UNI
popular, should be encouraged.

that It will be announced shortly that
the crisis Is ended and that the Ber-
nadottes will hencetorth reign both in

Whatever may be the sentiments Of
the aged monarch in this matter, 1t
must be admitted that this would be
the best and most logical conclusion Of
the trouble, continuation of the union
being out Of the question. The Swedish
government could consistently treat
with council OF state, appointed by a
Bernadotte and having the confidence

tered into by two responsible govern
