Ministers Favor Arbitration.
The ministers Of New York have placed
themselves on record in favor of arbitra-
ton At a meeting held recently TO con-
slider the question Of a permanent court Of
international arbitration the audience room
Of the marble collegiate church was well
filled, interest was keen and opinion was
unanimous against war
The chairman read the resolutions in
favor OF an arbitral court to sit at The
Hague. Bishop Greer made a speech in
which he said that he was at all times
ready 10 help in any way open to him, in
any well considered action in the interest
OF the worldwide peace and justice. The
Rev Or. Peck spoke on like lines. The
Rev. DR.. jefferson spoke against war, as in
it's nature destroying the most valuable
things the nation has-its young manhood,
strength and continuing force; that II
leaves sorrow in all its wake and violates
all the principles Of good will which center
in the Gospel Of Cod The Rev. Dr. slim
son spoke in favor OF taking practical
view of matters. This is mans question"
he said. land man must face It, The
church can make war impossible II as one
man It stands for peace" .....
The Rev William wilkinson said: Ma
tions and men alike are selfish and power
often seeks to override right; hence war.
Never as today has there been a moral
sense in the peoples Of the earth. Com
bined interests are greater than any sec
tional interests. As right and truth, ius-
tce and love are universal things, so the
solidarity Of the race is seen 10 be fact,
and so a better day Is near. This IS the
ground OF hope for peace by arbitration,
and for it all good men should stand"
The Rev Or. Burrell said: THE laymen
have led the parsons. We are too late to
lead now; we have to follow There are
fifty governments in the world, and more
than forty ParHaments. With a true
! representation and a worldwide court and
an agreement to abide by its decisions,
war should come to an end"
