pointment.
The pope, in the course of his al
locution, recalled the Constantinian
jubilee when he said: 1.-The whole
world seemed to lift up the cross Of
Christ as the sole source of peace and
salvation Of the struggling humanity.
Now especially men desire peace when
class is against class, nation against
nation and people against people,
and war may break out as the result
of rivalries daily becoming more bit
ter.
Men Of distinction and force are
planning schemes for preventing the
of revolutions and the
slaughter of war and for insuring the
blessings of peace.
This is a noble project, but their
schemes will bear little fruit unless
they insure that the precepts of JUS
tice and Christian charity take deep
root in the hearts Of men.
To-day the question whether the
state or civil society be at peace or
in turbulence is in the hands of the
peoples, instead of those of the rulers
''The assistance Of the church as
the guardian of justice and charity
and the mistress OF truth is therefore
the most efiicaciOus for the common
veal"
The passage regarding "men Of dis
tinctiOn and force planning schemes
for preventing the calamities of rev.
OlutiOns" was generally interpreted Us
referring to President Wilson's and
Secretary Bryan's endeavors to pre-
serve peace.
