each nation care for the weak among

Never since the coming of Jesus
Christ to earth was there better time
for the contamination of the worlds
peace than the present. Cannot the
laws of international arbitration,
through the power of the Holy Spir-
it, accomplish this most beneticent
achievement? In order to lead all ma
tons to join this international COM
pact and to disarm our armies and to
dismantle our fortresses we need not
wait until all nations are converted to
Jesus Christ. We must have the SEN
timent of the civilized world longing
for peace. Are not the better elements
of Europe and Asia and Africa and
America longing for the stopping of
such carnage as was lately witnessed
at Port Arthur and Mukden? Are we
not longing that the sword may be
turned into the plowshare and the
spear into the pruning hook and that
men may not war any more?
So, my friends, as never before l
want you to pray for the president of
the United States. Pray that God may
enable him to lead the rulers of the ma
lions to enter into a compact to stop
hellish war and by the laws of interna-

want you to pray, and pray as never
before, for the teachers of our public
schools and colleges and for the teach
ers who are laboring in our colonies
and missionary schools in foreign lands
as missionaries of perpetual peace. o
God of Paul, who sat at the feet of
Gamaliel, teach thy teachers to lead
their scholars to thee! And | want you
also to pray and to work while you
pray for our church as messenger Of
peace. AS the heart pumps the blood
to the farthermost parts of the body,
so a consecrated church of the Lord
Jesus Christ is the heart which sends
forth the spirit which will give us
Christian statesmen and Christian
teachers and Christian messengers of
perpetual peace everywhere.
May God bless those who are teach

to help them and to forgive them and
to lead them to the cross of that Christ

Sometimes it seems as though the an
tidivorce enthusiasts were not as sci
entific in their methods as they should
be. The great, Astounding cause of di-
vorce is, of course, marriage, and mar
riage therefore, is the thing to investi-
gate. First, then, is marriage a germ
disease? We have considered this
question a long time, getting no fur
ther with it, but the scientific investi-
gators will be able to tell us. And if it
is a germ disease they can catch the
germ, and, the germ once caught, they
can get cultures and compose antitox-
ms which will strip this common and
serious complaint of most of it's ter
rors. And, of course, once we get mar
riage under control we shall be in a
position to regulate divorce with pre-
cision absolutely scientific, if there is
any divorce left to regulate.-Harper's
