was read at the meeting, as was q
brief letter from President Taft, in
which he told of his hearty sympathy
with the aims of the congress.
Welcoming addresses were made by
Gov. Deneen ON behalf of the state,
and Mayor Busse for the city, and
Rev. A. Eugene Bartlett, chairman OF
the reception committee, also greeted
the delegates. "A World Petition to
the Third Hague Conference" was
presented by Miss Anna B. Eek
stein Of Boston.
The chief paper Of the session was
read by DR.. Benjamin F. Trueblood,
secretary of the American Peace So
clety, his subject being THE Present
Position Of the Peace Movement"
DR.. Trueblood said in part:
LET me sketch in the barest out
lines what has already been accom-
plished. The Interpretation will take
care of itself.
"A hundred years ago there was
not a.Society lin existence organized
to promote appeal to the forum OF
reason and right in the adjustment OF
international controversies. To-day
there are more than 500, nearly
every important nation having Its
group of peace organizations. Their
constituents are numbered by tens OF
thousands, from every rank and class
in Observation-Disclosures, men OF
trade and commerce, educators and
jurlsts, workingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.
The position which the peace move
ment has reached is no less distinctly
determined by the practical attain
ments Of arbitration. Within the past
20 years so rapid has been the tri'
umph of arbitration that more than
100 international differences have
been disposed Of by this means, or be
tween i've and six q year for the
whole 20 years. Arbitration is no
longer an experiment. 1t is the set
tied practice Of the nations. A score
Of disputes to-day 60 naturally to arbi'
tration where one gives rise even to
talk Of war.
"The first Hague conference, ten
years ago, gave US the permanent In
ternational court Of arbitration, which
has now been in successful operation
for about eight years and disposed Of
several important controversies. This
court was strengthened and improved
by the second Hague conference two
years ago, and by the admission Of the
South and Central American states to
IL has become the arbitration court
not Of the 26 powers that gathered a
The Hague in 1899, but Of the entire
world. This tribunal is now taking
practically all the international diher
ences not adjustable by diplomacy.
Another step of still greater mo
ment was taken by the second Hague
conference in the direction OF provid
ing a perfect substitute for force II
the settlement Of international differ
ences. 1t voted without a dissenting
delegation for the principle Of an in
ternational court OF arbitral justice
with judges always In service AMI
holding regular sessions"
Among the distinguished men q
tending the congress are Ambassador
Count Johann Heinrich Won Bernstein
Of Germany, Herman de Lagerersnn
envoy from Sweden; WI Ting FanI
chinese minister: Alfred Mitchell
Innss Conselor OF the British en-
bssEy. and Dr.. Haivdan Kont OF u
University Of NorHaI.

LENTEN SERVICE HELD
AT CHRIST CHURCH
Rev. C. J. Mason of Stonington
Preached at Union Service.


The midweek united service for Lent
for the Episcopal churches was held
Wednesday evening at Christ church
with a good number attending. The
service for evening prayer was read by
the rector, Rev. Nelson Poe Carey, a.
sisted by Rev. Charles c. ]. Mason.
rector Of Calvary church, Stonington,
who was also the preacher for the
evening.
For his text Rev. Mr. Mason chose
John xvi Il: I have yet many things
to say unto you, but ye cannot bear
them now. In an interesting way he
developed the point that this text was
taken from a chapter which comprised
part OF the final words before the
crucifxion, in which Jesus was fixing
the new relations 10 he established af-
ter the resurrection. 1t was a pre-
Iude to the Easter thought and y
rointing to the resurrection. On . d.
side there is a readiness To i'm. art, bu'
he can only speak to minds prepared
to receive his truth. An application OF
| the text may be made to many his
| torical steps in world history that the
shirt of truth has brought to pass in
| a way that men could not have com
| pretended in advance. As instances he
cited the new Russia and the Russo
| Japanese war. and, also right at ouI
| own door the awakening conscience or
| those sins that are so prevalent among
US, the divorce evil, child labor peor-
age, and the financial dishonesty ir
| connection with the trusts. How
| could we stand the whitening scorn o.
! another sermon from the mount upor
| these evils.
| The Holy Spirit was never more ir-
| resistibly at work and speaking hear
10 heart than at the present day. Th'
risen Lord is still our Lord and master
1 whose fuller unfolding 20 the world Il
to he awaited, and let US listen in thes,
resurrection times and at the end thu
| Holy Spirit shall lead us into all truth
