CHRISTIAN RULE

STRIFE FADING INTO PAST

LAKE MOHONK, y. Y, May 81
Cardinal Gibbons was the principal
speaker at the morning session of the
Lake Mohonk Conference on Inter
national Arbitration today. other ad-
dresses were by Hon. Clifton r. Breck-
inriGge. former United States minister
TO Russia, and Hon William /. Penfield
formerly solicitor of the Department Of
State. The session tonight will be de-
voted to business entirely, including the
report of the committee on business
men.
Cardinal Gibbons in opening his ad-
dress said that. when looking back and
contemplating the wars that have raw
aged the Christian world during the
last twenty centuries, some persons
might be tempted at first sight to ex-
claim in anguish OF heart that the mis-
sion of Christ was a failure. His pUr-
pose. he said, was to disabuse the faint
hearted OF this discouraging impression.
1t Is by comparisons and contrasts
that we can most effectuaIly gauge the
results Of Christian civilization. Let us
compare the military history OF the
Roman empire with the military record
OF our American Republic.
Days of Peace Lengthen.
IN pagan Rome, war was the rule,
peace the exception. The United States
has existed as a sovereign nation for
about 12O years, since the close of the
revalution. During that period we have
had four wars. The combined length of
these campaigns was about ten years
Hence we see that the United States has
enjoyed twelve years Of peace for one
of war. while the Roman empire enjoyed
less than one year of tranquility for
every century OF military engagements.
Il may remark in passing that at
least three of these four military cam
paigns might have been easily averted
by peaceful arbitration. and that large
share of the responsibility rests at our
But the blessed influence of Christian
civilization has been experienced not
only in reducing the number OF wars.
but still more in mitigating the horrors
of military strife.
Sublime, Precious Mission.
And now. friends and advocates of
international arbitration. permit me 70
greet you with words of good cheer and
congratulation. You are engaged in the
most noble and benevolent mission that
can engross the attention of mankind
a mission to which are attached the
most sublime title and the most precious
reward-'Blessed are the peacemakers
for they shall be called the children Of
Cod
May the nations Of the earth study
and take TO heart this lesson, that peace
hath her victories not less renowned
than war aye. victories more substan-
tial and more enduring. May they
learn that all schemes conceived IN

ton. are destined ike the mountain

be forwarded. My partner contin-
ued the search. and came across a
circular containing the pictures of
two men wanted in Michigan for
the murder and robbery of their
father, one of whom proved to be
the fellow under guard.

his check to the other and they
would issue them for moderate
sums. In this way they had amas-
sed a few thousand dollars and
were preparing to leave the United
States when caught.
Their capture was due entirely
to the eagerness of the man in Chi
cago to get more checks, with less
precaution and GOODNESS, to send
to his brother in the east.

ZenS.
The doctrine of the "landless man
to the manless land" was not an
inspiration. 1t was the result of
long study and investigation of con-
ditions. Mr.. Booth was a Meth
odist minister in his early years,
and it did not tane him long to
discover that there is a great class
of people that the regular churches
cannot reach. He took religion in
to the streets and slums.
But he observed, too, that reli-
gion alone cannot cure poverty and
misfortune and ignorance, which
form great social cesspools in all
large cities and cause most of the
woes of humanity. The treatment
of these diseases IN a practical way
is the browning purpose of his life,
and his method wherever tried has
proved successful.
What ultimate, complete success
may mean for the happiness of the
world is more than the imagination
of man can grasp.
Here is the Christianity that does
things. Here is the greatest prac-
ticing Christian of our times.
The central fire of his character
is simplicity. His soul is one white
steadfast flame of devotion to one
sole IDEAL and this fame burns up
the irrelevant chaff and dust and
debris which choke the spirits of
men who are interested in them
selves.
