November and December we dwell on the
Christmas spirit and from every pulpit
we got help for our work at this happy
time. We touch also on cleanliness. This
month January, brings us to what is an
important foundation of civic virtue,
fidelity to trust. In February begin
to teach by the stories of great men. their
kindness and chivalry, and in March we
show their generosity toward their foes.
In April We get back to the children
themselves and teach them the value of
kindness of manner. In May we go to
the ethics of quarreling and peacemaking,
for really though We have been accused
of being Missionaries. we have no thought
that children will not quarrel, even fight.
But we want them to show spirit of
good will when it comes to peacemakins,
we want to urge them TO be slow against
getting into a fight though brave when
they are in ii, just want our be-
loved country To be.

take up every theme in sequence. We go

disastrous results than at home

ashamed of such propensities. Well, the

obligations which We owe the world, the
exact meaning of the larger patriotism

interdependence of nations, the results of

arbitration is a gigantic step and most

Fisticuffs have long ago gone out among

now inspires disgust and doubt whether
they are in a normal state of health or

fighting whether with the fists or with
weapons means the triumph of the
strongest or the most skillful. certainly
there is never a surety that what is right

are trying to interest children in these

nual peace day, and May 1S has been ap-
pointed for such a celebration. She does
not ask to have another holiday added
to those civil or religious, but that the
pupils of all schools get up some small
program for the day. and that some one
competent to speak address them on
the blessings of peace and engage their
sympathy for the cause. Mrs. Andrews
has recently issued a brochure on this
subject, and she presents her theme very
persuasivey. President Taft has written
Il foreword. which makes an appeal to
every thoughtful person. The President
says:
IF the United States has mission be-

brotherhood of man into living. palpabla

the way to universal arbitration among
the nations, and bring them into more
complete amity than ever before existed.
1t is known to the world that we do not
covet the territory of our neighbors nor
seek the acquisition of lands on other
continents. We are free of such foreign
entanglements as frequently conduce to
embarrassing complications. and the eff
forts We make in behalf of international
peace cannot be regarded with a suspi-
