DR. Jane Scho6el6. who followed with
an address on the peace movement Was
the only woman speaker on the pro-
pramme. DR.. Schofield said that the call
for peace appeals TO the highest senti-
ments OF man and woman we arc
stirred today by the mighty wave Of
thought that IS sweeping the whole civil
ized world" she continued. "The great
cmba ssador OF peace, Jesus Christ. de-
clarcd for peace over 1900 years ago. In
all OF his mission lie has exempliiied that
divine work and through all Of his acts
and teachings there is nothing that
shines out brighter than his sermon on
the mount in which he declares that
blessed Is the peace maker.
Child of Today Is Hope.
I'VE feel that the hope of the future
lies in the child OF today. consequently
that touches The hearts OF women. Long
before the peace conference Of 1907, a
call was made for all The women OF the
United States TO organize and assist in
cxttnguishing the flames OF war
Women arc not trained In military
tactics. nor can they fSht the battles OF
The world AS can the men. but they can
become mighty factor in the cause OF
peace. Woman can WELD powerful in
nuence and II she enters the paths OF
peace she will tend 10 draw the world
with her Our children should be made
familiar with al the doings In the cause
instilled in their hearts. They can be
impressed with a loftier. nobler idea OF
heroism than that OF war.
In behalf OF the women OF the peace
committee and the women OF the whole
United States. say that we stand ready
at sll ;imcs 10 stand heart and hand with
the men In assisting in the cause of
world wide peace.

ridge box. / pray that the band box
may never get any bigger than it is,

Righteousness; I pray that the time will
come ere long when the cartridge box
shall be forever closed and when the
