Reference to Dead King.

The concert of ideas around the subject
| Of World Peace" may be epitomized as
| follows:
Said President Taft:
"The reference to the death of the late
king, and the feeling of mourning which
| 1t awakened on both sides of the ocean
brings to mind how much such a world s
convention as this means in the perpetual
ton OF the peace of nations and the love
of each for the other
Said John Wanamaker:
The nations Of the earth believe in
America and England. They hear and
heed them as they are hearing Theodore
Roosevelt. They will love them as they
have loved Edward VII and hOnored him
for his love of peace and good will. When
President Taft has completed his present
term of Office and the next one he will
be the worlds missionary for righteous
laws. Universal peace, that the birds
may build their nests in le cannons'
mouths and spears be beaten into prun-
ing hooks and war shall be no more in
any land
Said Rev. DR.. j. Munro Gibson of Eng
land:
THE concert Of Europe is coming
the concert of all nations Is coming. The
tendency toward world peace is empha-
sized by gatherings like this Sunday
school convention"

Objective of Association.

But We must see to it that our chill
dren are definitely converted. For each
soul born into this world there is dou-
BILE susceptibility. Through the body We
are susceptible. to the material and phys
ical world below US. Through the spirit
we are susceptible to the eternal and in
finite world above U.s. But as the senses
of the one are awakened. so must these
of the spirit be. 1t is for us to present
the Christ in the attractiveness of His
character and the pricelessness of His
work for mankind. and we may trust the
spirit of regeneration to do the rest. This
is the objective of the Worlds Sunday
School Association. to quicken the mis-
sionary spirit of our Sunday schools at
home and to promote Sunday schools
throughout the world
The large chorus on the platform was
directed in the songs by E. o. Excel and

Speaks Words of Welcome.
DR. Meyer then formally welcomed the
delegates. II wish you welcome to this

"Welcome" He spoke first of the pos
sibilities Of child life. and took his text
from Psalms So, "Out of the mouths
Of babes and sucklinss, Thou hast es-
tablished strength, because of Thine ad-
versaries, that Thou highest still the
enemy and the avenger."

TRIBUTE TO MRS. TAT.

Although the formal opening of the
worlds sixth Sunday school convention
occurred yesterday afternoon, the real
beginning of the work of this powerful
organization was made last night. when.
at monster meeting in Convention Hall,
President Taft welcomed the delegates
from all corners of the earth to the United
States and to the capital of this country.
Convention Hall was crowded as it has
been only rarely in its history. The GAL
leries were filed, every seat on the main
floor was taken, hundreds stood in every
nook and corner where space could be
found. and thousands were turned away
at the doors because the great. hall could
hold no more people,
In every way the great meeting gave
expression to the sentiment which is the
moving force behind the whole Sunday
school movement. Word peace is COM
Ing" said speaker after speaker and it
was the consensus of all of the predictions
that war will cease to be more through the
humanizing influence Of just such organic
atoms as the Sunday School Associa ton

ganda of the twentieth century

Bishop Honda's Greeting.

An equally strong address was made
by Bishop Honda. He spoke of the
comparatively tender years of the new
Japanese nation. and OF its still young
err movement toward Christianity. He
said the Sunday schools are doing
splendid work in Japan, and as an indi-
cation of their progress he gave the
count of Sunday school pupils in 1910
as 104,949, as against 33,0S6 in 1900.
Bishop Honda closed his remarks with
a series OF references to the position in
which Japan stands toward the nations
in the far east. and he said his country
is merely following the example set by
other nations in building up heavy
ornaments. He declared that the Sun
day school movement is the influence to
which the world must look for uni
versal peace.
Bishop Hartzell, speaking for Africa,
gave a resume Of the progress which is
being made in Sunday school work
among all the nations and tribes OF
that great continent.
