A Long Step Forward.

Now we have got to the point where
tie nations of the earth are willing to
admit that that is piracy: that as between
men 1t would be nothing but stealing, and
that, therefore. now We are prepared to
eliminate private property from those
things that an enemy may take on sea
1t has long been SO on land, but appar-
emily We gave up piracy on the sea with
good deal OF compunction. But it is a
step forward. 1t is re. ognition that
there is righteousness among nations
or ought to be- and that we must push
forward and see II we cannot reach 1t;
that we must bring the conscience and
the rule Of conduct of a Christian man to
the nation and show that the nation must
act with her millions as the one man
acts.
And SO it is with reference to those
peace treaties that the minister tonight
spoke so eloquently about. They are a
long step forward, with the hope that if
treaties of that sort arc made between
all nations we shall have an arbitral
court and that no cause of complaint can
arise on the part of one nation against
another that may not be brought before
that court and settled according to the
rules of justice. of law. of equity and of
righteousness: and when we have an In
strument like that, which can be de-
pended upon every time to settle interna-
tional controversies, then we may count

Mobs Lose Self-Restraint.

THE difference between tine conscience
which he makes but one is even marked
today. and if one man could commit a
lynching we would not have so many.
But when you get 800 or 400 men together
they seem to lose the self-restraint of the
individual, his conscience and all those
principles that keep him straight ia life.
The mob develops different character
from that of the individuals that go to
make it up.
Therefore when we can give our nation
the conscience of the individual we have
made progress in Christian civilization
that cannot be overstated, and 1 like to
count over the instances showing that the
conscience Of the nation as a nation OF
individuals is approximating that of the
man whom we respect.

nations that when we have war on tie

piracy and not steal the property Of in

AS you look back in history you will find
that there were a great many very fine

themselves together as nation. or in

seemed to lose the sense of responsibility.
