Governor spry expressed his firm
belief in the words OF the Great

no more, but will work In harmony
for the advancement Of mankind. But
until such time arrives. 1t may be
necessary to SO arrange our own affairs
that nationally we may be compelled
to stand on our own footing, to build
more warships, to recruit more men
for our army. But let us hope and
pray that this may not mean more
war, 1t is for us to apply the remedy

MATHoNIAII, THOMAS.
Mathoniah. Thomas was next intro
duced. He said there was some dis
pute as to when the movement began,
nut 1t did not make any difference
as 10 that inasn1uch as the movement
was for the purpose of stopping the
sredding of blood Killing by dueling
at one time had had the sanction OF
some Of the foremost nations, but the
custom of settling differences. It was
merely matter OF education and the
present movement sought to educate
me masses to true conception of the
peace movement. BY doing what we
are doing tonight, sowing the seeds of
UNIVERSAL peace in receptive hearts we
shall as a people finally arrive at peace.
y We can stop dueling with the indi-
vldual, we can stop 1t with the nations.
at Thomas made Il. strong reference to
t tne careful and peaceful diplomacy of
me United States government at tho
close OF the Civil war, which resulted
N the International court Of claims that
sail Switzerland for the adjudication
OF the Alabama claims. and at whose
eehest Great Britain paid millions of
1ollars indemnity for the ravages of the
y confederate pirate ships that had been
ouiit IN English shipyards and gone
,pren TO prey on American commerce.
AT. homas prayed the time might not
Ne distant when nations would no long
q shed the blood Of the innocent to
Avehse an alleged ntional affront. The
progress of the cause Of international
rnltration is a tribute to the benefcent
..liluences of civilization With respect
'oI law, do We perfect liberty and peace.
