Judge Kings Address.
Judge Kings address was decidedly i'm
pressive from its very earnestness and the
logical way in which he showed the ad
both individuals and to governments. He
began by stating that IL was a remark
able fact that women had been the fore
most leaders and advocates OF peace and
at all times, They had. he said. been
compelled to bear the heaviest burdens
Of the horrors Of war He then told OF
their sacrifices aorrows and bsreave-
ments in times OF war, when men were
elated over the success OF victories. Their
natures, he said, were more responsive TO
finer sensibllities than were the natures
of men, and they were more susceptible
10 the claims OF righteousness and justice.
War Not Conducive to Progress.

come strong II was not necessary for the

the part OF humanity. be claimed, was In
herited from the barbarous spirit that
rad ruled the world for thousands OF
years, and that the spirit OF savagery had
not yet been brought under complete sub
lection.
Justice Takes Place of Bludgeon.
Law and justice. he said, was slowly
taking the place Of the bludgeon. the
weapon of savagery. and that the time In
which the sword and the battlefield were
the final arbiters was happily passing
eway. The growth Of morale, however

manently take the place Of right 1t was
but gradually that the underlying prin-
cples OF justice had been discovered,
Work of the Nazarene.
He paid q tribute to tho Nazarene, who.
he said, had done more TO promote civil
ization and TO uplift humanity than all
other teachers combined. He had dis
couraged the mad struggle Of ambition
and had replaced 1t with a desire for
Justice. He had found women as slaves
and vassals and men without the rights
OF chattels. He had found false phil
osophy and false ideas OF the relations OF
humanity. but that he had freed the slaves
and lifted women 10 the proud position OF
queen Of the home and made her the
equal and honorable consort OF her hus-
band The world. he said. was too much
inclined to cheer the soldier and to neglect
tho advocate OF peace.
Should Teach Peace.
He regretted, he said, that our school
books incUlcated In the minds of the
youth the grandeur OF battle, and educat
ed them TO read OF carnage with aYldity.
We should teach peace he said In the
schools. for war was wrong-it origlna ted
In hell. When We say war is necessary
he said we do not know God or under
stand the underlying principles OF hu-
manity.
Advocated Arbitration.
He advocated In strongest terms arbI-
tration and said that II seemed the IRONY
