Omaha churches yesterday observed
Peace day, the date named by President
Wilson's proclamation asking that all
Americans should unite in prayer for the
ending of the great European war and
all other armed strife.
Sentiment OF most Omaha pastors as
expressed by them yesterday is strongly
opposed to war. but withit is the belief
that, as part of the inscrutable plans Of
the Deity, good in some form must result.
A mass meeting in observance of Peace
day was held at the Young Mems Chris

which william Baird, who secured his

The entire offerings of the day at the

marked here, as in most OF the other
churches, by special services including
holy communion and a musical program.

has known. 1T is hard TO believe that

dying for ones country and you have
only butchery and desolation, resulting IN

the whim of some tyrant or nobleman
But we know beyond doubt that All
things work together for good to those
that love God. This Is the assurance to
which to cling. Note that they TO whom
good is to come are those that love God.
This distinction is based not on class dis
elimination. but on love, and God Him
