THE STORY.

ESDRAS was troubled. Scribe and
Il priest though he was, there had
crept in his heart honest question
ings.
Was God a reality? Was he just?
Did it pay to be called a child of his?
Here was the nation of Israel and
their city of Jerusalem in distress,
and here was the goddess Babylon
holding dominion over them.
Where was God that such things
could be? Are their deeds any better
that inhabit Babylon, that they should
therefore have dominion over Zion?'
Such were the doubts and troubled
thoughts which stirred the heart of
Esdras as he walked alone in the
quiet of the midnight hour.
IT have seer how thou sufferest
them SHINING and has spared wicked
doors, and has destroyed thy people
and hast preserved thine enemies"
exclaimed Esdras.
He spoke not i~rreverently, but the
anguish of his heart forced him to
give expression as though talking to
God, for he felt if God were in the
heavens he must speak to him the
thoughts which we're in possession
of his heart.
care they of Babylon better than
they Of Zion?" he went on. COR is
there any other people that are thy
chosen people? For what generation
is there which hath so believed thy
covenants as the children of Jacob?
And yet their reward appeareth not,
and their labor hath no fruit. For I
have gone here and there through
the heather, and l see they flow in
wealth and think not upon thy COM
mandments. Weigh thou, therefore,
our ~wickedness now in the balance,
and theirs also that dwell in the
world; and so shall thy name no.
where be found but in Israel. Or
when was it that they which dwell
upon the earth have not sinned in
thy sight, or what people hath SO
kept thy commandments? Thou shalt
find that Israel by name hath kept
lily pIcCCpIS, Uut AOI eAO AootASA.
AS the complaining voice Of the
scribe ceased and he sat in moody
silence there came a slight rustling
Of garments at his side and he shook
with fear, for he knew that he was
not alone.
"Who art thou, and why thy pres
ence here?' questioned Esdras with
trembling voice.
God hath heard thy questionings
and hast sent his angel. It is Uriel
who speaketh and bringeth q mes
sage from God, who would say to
thee:
"aThy heart hath gone too far In
this world. and thfnketh thou to COM
prehend the way Of the most high?'"

min F. Trueblood, secretary of the
American Peace Society, on "The Pres
ent Position of the Peace Movement"
What Has Been Accomplished.
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.
II. The men and women, now a
great host, who believe that the day
is past when blind brute force should
direct the policies of nations and pre-
side at the settlement of their diff
ferences, are now thoroughly organ
lied. A hundred years ago there was
notsa society in 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
it's groAp 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
~jurists, w~orkingmen, statesmen, rulers
even.
1.-The organized peace party has its
international Peace bureau at Berne,
Switzerland, binding all its sections
into one world body. 1t has its Inter
national Peace congress which has
held II meetings in 20 years-con-
crosses over which statesmen feel
it an honor to preside.
Triumph of Arbitration.
'II. The position which the peace
movement has reached is no less dis
tinctly determined by the practical at
tainments of arbitration. We are this
year celebrating what is really the
one hundredth anniversary Of the birth
of our movement, for it was in 1909
that David l.. Dodge, a Christian mer-

REAT CONGRESS OF PEACE
WORKERS HELD in CHICAGO
thousands of the Opponents of Warfare, Including Many
Distinguished Diplomats and Statesmen, Gather to
Discuss Disarmament and Worldwide
Arbitration.

Chicago.-Every civilized country on
h globe was represented in the Sec
ond National Peace Congress, which
began here Monday. The gathering
was the greatest of it's kind ever held
In America, and brought to Chicago
some 25, 900 persons who are Jealous
workers in the cause of worldwide
peace. Among these were eminent
statesmen and diplomats of this and
other nations. Unfortunately, official
duties prevented both President Taft,
b honorary president, and Secretary
of War Dickinson, the president of the
congress, from being present.
On Sunday there were special serv-
Ices in most of the Chicago churches,
peace meetings under the auspices of
socialist and labor organizations, and
a large mass meeting which was ad-
dressed by President Schurman of
Cornell university, Rev. Jenkins Lloyd
Jones and DR.. Emil G. Hirsch of Chi

dress, the same he delivered several
weeks g before the Hamilton club,
was read, and the congress was then
formally welcomed by Gov. Charles S.
Deneen for the state, Mayor Fred A.
Busse for the city and Rev. A. Eugene

brief letter from President Taft, In

of varying fortunes. Gen. Lee as
sured them that they could go to
their homes with the consciousness
of duty well and faithfully performed.
He exhorted them to accept the re-
suits of their resort to the ar
bitrament Of arms in good faith
and to devote their energies thence
forth to restoring the waste
places in the south and to develop it's
resources. Gen. Lee was not a man of
many words. But what he said came
from his heart, and was strengthened
by a calm judgment and exalted pur-
pose. His counsel sank deep into the
hearts of the southern people. He was
after Appomattox, as well as in the
days OF his greatest triumphs in the
field, the most powerful influence for
peace and rehabilitation in the south.

went to their homes after the surren-
der and set to work in grim earnest.
They laid the foundations of restora-
ton firmly and deeply. Their sons
and grandsons have carried on the
work with intelligence, energy and
efficiency. To-day the south is the
most American part of the union of
46 states. There are no outward evil
dences of the havoc and ruin wrought
by four years of civil conflict. The
economic regeneration of the south is
one of the most amazing achievements
of modern times. Aided substantially
as it has been by the capital and bust
ness men of other sections, the general
result is, nevertheless, an enduring
monument to the invincible spirit and
the inf1exible determination of the
men, who, many in rags, surrendered
40 years ago at Appomattox, accepted
the results of the war in good faith
and guided by the wise ~counsels of
their leader, Gen. Lee, buckled down
to work on the farms and in business
and in the professions in the spirit of
brave and true men. Peace hath its
victories no less renowned than war.
One Of the finest pages in the history
of the United States is that which re-
cords the work of southern men and
women after Appomattox.

THE PARK THEATER
To Be ENCLOSED

W. c. Chalmers, the well known
contractor with offices in Bethel
street between King and Hotel, has
been awarded the contract for re-
modelling the Park Theater on Fort
street for the winter season. The
side fences will be replaced by plas-
ter walls and the garden will be roof
ed over with corrugated iron This
work will be carried on in such
way that the shows of evenings will
not be interfered with in the slight
est. BY time the autumn rains set
in the Park will be all ready to house
its friends in the most comfortable
sort of way, and to take care of them
every evening during the winter.
This is but one of the many con
tracts of general interest that Mr..
Chalmers has recently taken in tn
city-the big baths at For, shafter,
now under way and the big skating
rink off Hotel near Nuuanu, soon to
start, being among the number. He
keeps very large staff of skilled
mechanics, and is thus able to live

PROBABLY BROKE
ISLANDS RECORD
CHINESE JAPANESE PLAY TWELVE
LIHIs AND MARINES FERoCIoUsLY FOUGHT
A DARKNESS

Probably all baseball records in these
islands were smashed at Athletic park
yesterday, when the two games of the
Oahu Baseball league lasted the entire
afternoon and the last one resulted IN
a draw after nineteen innings of the
greatest ball ever seen here.
1t was a meeting between the two
pairs of teams which are conceded to
be about evenly matched-C. A. c. VS..
j. A c. and Marines VS.. Kalihis.
Around town Saturday night and yes
terday it was predicted freely that bar
ring accidents, the games would be Of
the fiercest kind. All of the teams
went down to the park with this idea
uppermost in mind, and every man OF
the thirty-six engaged in the contests
was prImed with a determination that
his team should not lose.
The crowd was a big, orderly one
and it stayed to the last Ordinarily,
with five hours of baseball, but few
people would have remained to see the
finish but these games were so good
that everybody stopped to the end and
cheered TO the last Dozens and hun
dreds of times the grandstand broke
loose in storms of applause as remark
ably good plays were made.
The Chinese and Japanese in the au-
dience went almost beside themselves
over the first game. For eleven long
innings not run was made, although
each side got near it several times. The
collapse came only after both teams
were pretty well tired out.
The second game, however, was the
terror. For eighteen innings not d
man cross the plate. The battle ragged
to the limit every minute of the long
period After the ninth or tenth inn
ings it became largely an endurance
test between the two batteries. Never
did Gibson pitch greater ball and never
did Clark so completely cover himself
with baseball glory. Nineteen innings
is no small affair to pitch but the two
game twirlers stayed with it and it was
hard to say which was the more tired
at the end just as darkness was COM
ing on. The last game having been
declared a draw by the umpire will
have to be played off at the end of the
season.
CHINESE AND IAPS.
The first game was between the Chi
nese and the Japanese Athletic Clubs.
Both teams had greatly strengthened
in anticipation OF hard battle ORR

teams to victory. The umpire was j.
