and all friendliness to serve the cause
Of peace"

which shall prove conductive to that
concord among men and nations with
out which there can be neither happi-
ness nor true friendship nor any whole
some fruit of toll or thought in the
world"
His effort for the worlds peace was

time, wanted beligerant action have
come to a different way of thinking,
as they have read the tale told in Ell.

the war-makers and the fire-bring-
ers to know that thousands of miles
away a nation is on its knees in pray
err that the peace Of God which pass
eth all understanding may once more
