"The general assembly OF my church Is

of the conference will pass resolutions
condemning wine drinking. cigar smoking
and card playing. but nobody will pay any
attention TO them. / recall one occasion
when the moderator, after the resolutions
were passed, walked to the door and III

unanimously. People will pay no atten-
Hon tn IL because the church has lost Its
authority; but IL has not lost fits place

IL does not. Religion essentially belongs

ingIy Presented by Lieut.. Gov. Jackson, Mrs.
Lucia Ames Mead and DR.. Benjamin F. Trueblood

4 There must come a time when there win
be an international parliament for the
governing OF the nations. and the settle
ment OF all disputes.
The speaker pointed TO the fact that no
armaments nor fleets had ever been crea-
ted on the frontiers between Canada. and
that the dispute with Canada over the
Alaskan boundary had been settled peace
fully by arbitration, with never thought
OF a resort TO force.
Mrs Mead said there Is no reform so
great as this peace reform. and that she
believed that out OF the next Hague con-
ference there will come a plan for Il
worlds assembly TO discuss and settle
the disputes that may arise.
In speaking OF the efforts toward secur-
ing peace by the American people, Mrs.
Mead said that the enemies we have TO
confront are In our own Observation-Disclosures
who by bribery and grating are smirch-
ing the flag, and not the yellow peril. a"
She spoke OF the 6.0o0, 900 illiterates in the
country. the enormous immigration, and
said that the defence the country needs
Is that OF the schoolmaster.
She said that war never ensures that
Justice Will be done. In the nature OF the
case II cannot, but that justice would be
assured by the arbitration OF dispute.
The next speaker was DIR. Benjamin +.
Trueblood OF Boston. secretary OF the
American Peace society. who said:
II have been very much interested In
watching the change in public opinion
within the past few years with regard 10
peace and war. and what impresses me
the most is that there Is n growing public
sentiment In favor OF the abolishment OF
armaments.
Ten years ago there was not a con-
gresham who would risk a vote on the
question. Today there Is a group OF 30
Identified with the peace movement. and
the other day 1903 voted against the build
ing OF a proposed huge battleship
The incident shows the growth OF pub
lie opinion. and that there are congress
men who believe there should be no more
batteships built for even home defence" 4"
DIR. Trueblood referred TO the recent
Moroccan conference as the best illus
tration OF the growth OF public sentiment
In favor OF international arbitration, and
said II would have n greater influence on
the world than even the Portsmouth con-
ference, which settled the dispute between
Russia and Japan.
During the evening a solo was sung by
Mrs. Ernest Fisher.

flags OF all nations. making a pleasing

This rather startling statement was
made by Prof ]. O. Dealey OF Brown
University. before the conference or Con-
gregational churches In the Central
church yesterday afternoon.
IL raised something more than ripple
bf excitement and discussion. which
among the members OF the conference
was continued quietly at today's sessions
Prof Dealy's topic was THE Church's
junction OF Social Service" concerning
which he said that, while the church
should have such function In reality IL
had not
''Churches. like certain legislative bod
les. are afraid OF vested interests said
Prof Dealey.
1T has been well said that back OF all
reforms we encounter the vested interest
rhe trouble Is that the churches are not
yet ready 10 attack the vested interest.
do you ever hear I'm your churches Of
hn attack on the man who lets his stores
for saloon or HIS tenements for house
bf III fame? No; because that man is in
the pews.
There Is today turning away from
the church on social service lines. The
reason we don't find the intelligent work
man IN churches now Ia because OF the
fact that what he is most interested in Is
moi conSlutTtu DN the lIf
should have a social service for | am con-
WINGED that the church is going backward
.at present.
by means OF the parish system every
|church should know it's parish thorough
BY l will venture TO say without several
days preparation there is hardly clergy
man in the city who could stand up In his
|pulpit and tell about his parish as IL Is.
III would mean that the saloons would be
known, as we'll as the brothels. and the
|taverns, breeding tuberculosis. and other
|pestilence spots: and IL would also mean
that the child life OF the parish would be
|irnuwn.
When the conditions in the parish as
they exist are known the essence OF
christianity would roll up I'm the breasts
|of tho people and they would say. These
|abuses must cease We can't drive out

MEXICANS WARN
 FOREIGNERS OUT
Post Circulars in Border Towns Ordering Americans and
 Others To Leave.
By Cable to The Daily Gateway.

Laredo, Tex, July 2l-Circulars were posted yesterday in many places along the border, chiefly in mining camps, warning foreigners to leave the country. The cry has been raised "Mexico for Mexicans" The move ment is particularly directed against Americans.
 The Mexican government antici- bates a gigantic labor upheaval. Symp- toms of it have been visible for months, of which the uprising at the Greene copper mines at Cananea last month was an example. It is claimed that American labor organizers have been working among the Mexican miners and that the indirect result of their effort has been to incite an anti foreign movement.
