4 HUNDRED YEARS oF PEACE.

The celebration Of one hundred
years Of peace between the United
States and Canada is soon to take
place. For one hundred years there.
has not been a Serious conflict Of
authority along the borders of these
two countries, the longest imaginary
boundary line in the world separat-
ing two countries. The only barrier
that has existed preventing unlimited
liberty Of intercourse over the border
has been a trade barrier which now
by the terms Of the reciprocity agree,
rnent Is to be removed This should
be the equivalent of another peace
pact not for a hundred years but for
all time to come. The talk of annexa.
tion will now become less seriously
considered since the only advantage
that annexation would give will be
granted by reciprocity, free and un.
limited commercial intercourse.

UNIVERSAL PEACE

Last Sunday an important subject
was presented to the Presbyterian
congregation by the pastor, the sub
1ect of Universal Peace. The modern
Peace movement is making great
strides, the sentiment for disarmament
and arbitation is rapidly growing in all
civilized countries. This subject is
brought to the attention of the public
at this time for the purpose of arous-
ing an interest, if possible, in the Arbl-
tration treaties now before the Senate
of the United States for ratification.
These treaties are strongly urged by
President Taft and many of our leading
statesmen as well as by the Peace So
ciety and the Federal Council of the
Churches of America.
1t is earnestly hoped that the various
churches and the public in general will
lend aid to this advance by sending
petitions or resolutions and private let
tiers to our Senators urging the ratlfl-
cation of these treaties which widen
the scope of arbitration between our
government and the governments OF
Great Britain and France.
