pressive and forclble The delegates
could not help feeling the Importance Of
a movement which has as yet not as.
sumed popular character but which Is
bound TO do so as the years roll on. AS
a result OF this congress thousands Will
hear about peace societies and peace
agitation, who never heard Of those
