A World Church Peace League.

Ministers of the United States are ap-
realed to by the Federal Council Of
Churches to form a Church Peace
League. The councils commission on
peace and arbitration has recently been
REINFORCED by gifts of money for ex-
pioitation, and Rev. Frederick Lynch, a
well-known Congregational minister, has
been made its executive. That there is
public interest. and that ministers stand
ready to work for peace. Is shown by a
recent response of 5000 ministers to a
request to preach sermons on the sub
joct.N
Baron Edouard de Neufville, the
wealthy Christian worker Of Frankfort.
Germany, recently came to the United
States tc urge that the new league be-
cJme part Of the World Church Peace
League. Leaders in the world movement
are 1900 ministers of Germany and 5000
of England. The ministers Of the three
nations, united in one plan, ask ministers
of all the world, Protestant, Roman, and
Greek, to preach sermons and to labor
for the cessation of war. The baron is the
one who arranged visits Of ministers OF
Germany 10 England. and of England to
Germany, to talk horrors of war and the
desirability OF terminating them. Similar
visits are talked Of between ministers OF
these countries and Of the United States.
Baron de NeufviIle seeks to inspire min
isters of the world TO take an even
higher conception Of peace than that Of
selling battleships apd disbanding armies.
He declares that cause that brings
reace in one direction will bring 1t In
another. and so he wants the leagues to
work for Industrial peace by the ending Of
labor strikes. and TO work for family
peace and decrease of divorces. A man
OF great wealth and high social position.
the baron is devoting money and time TO
these causes. Ministers have large infiu-
ence and they also have congregations
to preach 10. They are the strategic
force, he believes Hence his work
through them.
The process OF enrolling the clergy of
this country will begin at once. 1t is
desired that all ministers of all denomi-
nations send their names to Mrs Elmer
Black, 5l2 Fifth Avenue, New York, or
to Rev Frederick Lynch, rs Fourth
Avenue, New York, for enrolment There
VIII be no fee. and the platform of the
league is simply an expression that one
believes that the church should lead In
the new movement toward international
good will and brotherhood. and that
the time has come TO substitute judicial
procedure for war in the settlement OF
disputes
Members of the league will have vaIu-
able and interesting literature sent to
them. and the Society for international
Cancellation will put those ministers who
SO request upon their mailing list. so far
as the funds hold out. This society pub
lishes very valuable pamphlets
A plan is being considered of calling
great meeting Of the churches Of Great
Britain Germany, and America at The
Hague before the third Hague conference
to voice the desires OF the churches for
more rapid progress toward a permanent
court of nations.

Chinese Students Confer.

An uncommonly significant meeting was
that at wiIliamstown, Mass, last week
of more than a hundred young Chinese
men and a few young women studying
in this country, who came together 10
attend the eighth annual conference OF
their alliance. That organization has
grown so rapidly since its start in lsco
that IL is now subdivided into an East
ern. Middle West, and Western group.
These young people come together once
a year. not simply for a good time and
for personal fellowship. but to discuss
how they may best serve their native
land, to which all of them expect to
return. Most of them are benefciaries
of the Boxer indemnity fund and have
been carefully selected, after strenuous
competition. Many are studying techni-
cal courses with a view to building up
China's industries. All are hearty be-
levers in the republic and supporters of
the President. Yuan Shih Kai. and great
admirers also Of DIR. Sun Vat Sen. They
are in various schools and colleges in this
country. and when tney go back will be
scattered over perhaps twenty-one prov

unite on Sunday afternoons during the
month for vesper services at the foot OF
the towering monument erected to the
doughty captain of the Pilgrims, who
kved the last part of his life and lies
buried in Duxbury. On a clear day one
can see, from the monument, all the
Pilgrim country from Provincetown
around to the Blue Hills. With such a
magnificent view and broad horizon. the

Unitarian. and Episcopal churches. and
the folk Of all faiths of the summer col

ability. like Drs E. W. Bishop, of Grand

and r. F. Loring. of Newtonyille. The
