possible in the comprehension OF
the Church, as it is practicable in

Secretary.
This is q document of wide in.
terest to all Christian people-one
OF the most important that has
come from the representatives of
the several communions that are
now engaged in preparing the
way for the unity Of the churches.
There is to be held in January,
1915, at Garden City, Long Is
land, N. Y, a preliminary confer
ence of the churches in North
America. Surely this is q meet
ing of interest to US all, and we
may have q share and part in it
by trying. to carry out, to the
best OF our individual ability, the
above "Truce for God"
The movement for Christian
unity is one in which the Chris.
tian ministers and preachers
should take q leading part. Hence
this appeal to all leaders in thu
extension Of the kingdom OF God
as we'll as to all Christian people
to agree together to pray fol
Christian unity. Send in youl
name to the undersigned, with {
request for literature on the sub
! |ject, and he will be glad to hav'
. it sent to you.
Could not the ministers Of tn
Gospel OF Jesus Christgettogeth
er, once a month somewhere, an,
. pray together for the unity Q
Christians? Let US hear iron

III P,risulsg Psusr

T, While none will say with any
degree Of certainty that the late
Charles Becker was wrongfully
executed, the fact that he went
into eternity protesting his inno-
cence, and asking his God to wit.
ness the truthtof his declaration,
has led many 81 the more sensi-
tive type to doubt the guilt Of
the former police lieutenant.
Whatever views one may hold on
this question. there naturally
arises the thought that in those
states which vest the pardoning
power in the hands Of the gov.
ernor alone there should be en-.
acted laws that would create par.
doning boards and thus relieve
officials OF such embarrassment
as Governor Whitman experience
ed. It is argued, and very prop
erly 80, that since Governor Whit
man as district attorney prose.
cuted and convicted Becker, he
should not have passed upon his
guilt or innocence in the final ap-
peal. ls it not logical to believe
that District Attorney Whitman,
being convinced OF Becker's guilt
could not, as Governor Whitman,
pardon him or commute his sen.
tence? We believe that it would
have been well in the interests OF
unquestioned justice had Gov.
ernor Whitman absented himself
from the state OF New York in the
final appeals, allowing the lieu,
tenant-governor to pass upon the
question.
It is very probable that such
aninstance viii never occuragain
bat Notwithstanding this, The
Citizen is OF the opinion thatpar
doning boards are the only solu
ton of such problems. 1t is toe
|grave q responsibility, amount
ling almost to a burden, for one
individual to shoulder. Take ou1
/ own State, for instance, where
applications for pardons are al
thick as raindrops. Men know
ing the nature OF our governor
do not doubt that this decision
Of life and death weighs heavily
upon him. A board OF pardon'
has beenfrequently advocated fol
; North Caroline, but'as in the cas'
: Of persistent efforts to improve
our judicial system, mossb acl
tradition forever bars the way.
We have no doubt that had b.
} followed the promptings Of hi
heart Governor Whitman woult
Ihave pardoned Becker, or rathe
would have commuted his sen
tence, but there was ever the spec
tire Of public criticism which woul'
: have doubtless followed lenienc,
. to a man whom be whitman

The Advisory Committee Of the
Commission on the Conference on
Faith and Order has sent out the
following statement, appealing
forwhat has been aptly termed
"A Truce for God"
We, the Advisory Committee,
representatives by appointment
Of many Churches in the United
States, have become associated
with the Commission of the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church in the
preparation OF a World Confer
ence on questions of Faith and
Order as q first step toward uni
ty. We believe in the one people
Of God throughout the world
Wabelieve thatnow is a critically
hopeful time for the world to be-
come Christian. We believe that
the present world problems Of
Christianity call for a world con-
ference of Christians.
This proposal has already re-
ceivsd the approval and co-ope-
ration Of alarge number Of Chris
tian Churches; approaches are
being made to others as rapidly
as possible; so that we hope that
ere long its worldwide represen.
tative character will be establish
ed beyond peradventure. In the
work Of preparation for it's con-
vening, We have no authority or
desire. to enter into a discussion
Of thetimportant questions which
the Conference itself will meet to
consider. 1T is our immediate
concern to take whatever meas
ures may be advisable to secure
the bestpossible presentation to
the Conference Of the matters to
be considered. In 80 doing, We
cannot, however, remain indiffer
ent to present conditions which
may either promote or tend tc
thwart the purposes and hopes
which the approaching World
Conference should fulfil.
At the present moment, some
of these afnportant issues have
suddenly become matters Of re
newed controversy. From tn
mission field. the long outstand
ing problem Of Christian unit.
has been brought by the provi
dence Of God and set directly il
the way before all Christian Com
munions. It cannot longer b
passed by. The great interest
which Christian people OF ever.
name have most at heart call TO
it's solution. But solution car
not be secured by surrender. l
must be preceded by conference
Before conference there must b
truce. The love of Christ for th
world constrains us to>ask 20
to join with US and with His di'
ciples Of every name in proclaim
ing among the Churches through
out Christendom a Truce OF Coz
Let the questions that hav
troubled us be fairly and clearl
stated Let scholars, Ca th oil
and Protestant, give freely to tt
people whatever light from the
historical studies they can thro
over these subjects. More tha
that, it is of.essential importan'
for us to seek to understand whit
in the religious experience of OF
ers are the things of real vail
which. they would not lose, al
which should be conserved in Il
one household Of faith. Wepra
also, that each Christian cor
muniou may avoid;so far as pc
sible, any controversial declar
tion Of it's own position in rel
tion to others. but. rather. tn
