Sunday afternoon by Rev. DIR. Gran
staff, the evangelist, at the meeting for
young people held at the City Opera
house Tie attendance was large,

a song service led by Mr.. Pugh, in

"rrhe Holy City was rendered in a
beautiful manner by Mr. Pugh. The
Scripture reading was conducted by
DR.. Granstaff and prayer was offered
by Rev. ]. N. Frost of the Methodist
church.

one that held the undivided attention
of everyone in the house and was so
taken up and discussed that all were
thoroughly enlightened as to the mean
inc DR.. Granstaff took up one by one
the five steps that were necessary for
anyone to be a Christian. stating that
all were so very simple that the peo

had illustrations for each one of his
many points anad made each so sim
pie that tie youngest people present
were easily able to comprehend their
meaning DR.. Granstaff repeatedly
cushioned his congregation regarding
the different points, making his ad-
dress more forcible
Near the conclusion of the service
DR.. Granstaff called for EXPLANATIONS
of faith and many went to the for
ward part of the house at his invita-
ton to manifest their desire to accept
the Gospel.
The evening service at the Opera
house was again largely attended and
the congregation listened to anpther
strong address by DIR. Granstaff. The
subject of his sermon was from the

| Dear Mr. Marburs:
| | beg to say to your guests that | SYM
pathize very strongly with their object
and believe that the proposed organization
| is adapted to render great public ser
| vice | assume that the new organiZa-
| ton is to have a definite, specific object
which may be indicated by emphasizing
| the word judicial in its title TO indi-
| cate a distinction between that kind of
settlement of international disputes and
the ordinary arbitration as it has been I'M
derstoo in the past and is generally I'M
derStood now. | assume that you are
going to urge that disputes between ma
tions shall be settled by judges acting
under the judicial sense of honorable OBJ
legation with d judicial idea of impartial
ity rather than by diplomats acting under
the diplomatic ideas of honorable obliga-
ton and feeling bound to negotiate a set
tlement rather than to pass without fear
or favor upon questions of fact and law.
1t seems to me that such change in the
fundamental idea of what an arbitration
should be is essential to any very great
further extension of the idea of arbitra-
ton. l have been much surprised how

of ability and force who do not agree with
this idea at all. particularly people on
the other side of the Atlantic. The extra
ordinary scope of judicial power in this
country has accustomed us to see the
operations of government and questions
arising between sovereign states submit
ted to judges who apply the test of con-
formity to established principles and rules
of conduct embodied in our constitutions.
1t seems natural and proper to us that
the conduct of government affecting sub
stantial rights. and not depending upon
questions of policy. should be passed upon
by the courts when occasion arises. 1t is
easy, therefore. for Americans to grasp
the idea that the same method of settle
ment should be applied to questions grow
ing out of the conduct of nations and
not involving questions of policy.
In countries, however, where the courts
exercise no sucn power, the idea is quite
new one to most people and if it is to
prevail, there must be a process OF educa-
ton. Such process will naturally re-

With kind regards, I am, always.

United States Senate, washington,
Feb. 3, 1910.
Mr. Dear Mr. Marburg:
| have the strongest desire that your
proposed society for the judicial settle
ment of international disputes render eff
ficient service. The settlement OF con-
troversies between nations in the general
manner as between individuals. must be
the adopted policy in promoting the cause
of peace and preventing wars. l have al
ways maintained that our own country
should take a leading part in this work
and hope for your organization the great
