tiation, be submitted for final adjudica-
ton to an International arbttral court,

the day when war with all its horrors

kindred nations. knit together by so
many ties of language and literature, ira

and laity Of the Diocese Of Washington.
in convention assembled, That we hail
with devout thar kfulness this great
movement for an all-embracing arbitra-
| ton treaty between the mother country
and our own and we humbly pray that
the spirit Of truth and peace may guide
the deliberations Of our diplomats in pre-
pairing this extremely important instru-
ment, SO that when completed it may at
once command the approval Of the ma
tions concerned
Resolved. That as in England men Of
all parties and of all creeds have Joined
hands in support OF this proposal OF our
President, SO We make appeal to all the
servants Of God In our land to unite
with us in giving this great movement
OF peace a religious sanction, believing
that the world has reached a stage of
enlistment when war stands condemned
alike by our secular civilization, our
moral ideals and our religious principles.
Resolved That we see in this great
movement, so happily inaugurated by the
political head of our American nation,
| the promise and potency of a movement
as wide as the world and embracing all
mankind. having in view the same blessed
purpose, not only ultimately to put an
end to war, but to abolish that armed
peace which Is to-day a burden and an
evil only less than war itself"
