The evening. why Have a Revival?"
Among other reasons assigned were
these. I'VE have the approving testi.

into indifference; it exalts the claims
of Jesus Christ, and emphasizes the
reality of His redemptive work; IL
calls men to repentance; maintains the
proper balance between the intellec-
tual and emotional in religion; corrects
the impression that christianity is I'M
practical; holds the church to a Christ
centered theology and creates an evan
gelistic purpose in the pulpit and III
the pew; creates a love for Bible read

ligion and civic righteousness in a
community; increases the spiritual in

OF
NATIONS IS
PROPOSED
Worldwide Peace Conference
Opens in Old independence
Hall; Ex-President Taft
Presides Over Meeting
BY United Press.

By United Press.
Philadelphia, June IA worldwide
peace conference convened here today
n historic Independence hall to con-
slider the formation of League of
Nations. Fostered by Ex-President
William Howard Taft, who will preside
at the meeting, the conference is said
to have the unofficial endorsement of
President Wilson.
The movement is regarded as the
most definite step yet taken toward
international amity. Attending the
prominent men of this country-p pu1iic
officials, international law experts,
humanitarians and president of uni
versities.
the conference was called not mere
ly for the purpose of discussing alb
stract questions of peace and arbitra-
tion but to put squarely before the
ed States to join a peace league com
posed of every great nation. The
league is intended to bind the sigma.
tories to agree to certain definite lines
of international action, the most i'm
portant of which is that the powers
joining in the league utilize their joint
military forces to prevent any one OF
their number going to war precipi
lately.
Two other proposals will be submit
ted for the conference consideration
One provides for the creation of an in
ternational judicial tribunal and the
other aims to create an international
council of conciliation-which has moi
been discussed hitherto-for questions
that are known as non-justiciable. o.
those not considered triable in a ju
dicial tribunal.

London, June 1.-THE allies, espec-
tally Great Britain. would regard peace
overtures at this time as premature,
the United Press is reliably informed.
Great Britain believes that German
will henceforth be on the defensive,
while England is developing her high
est offensive.
1t is also felt by England that a
hong contest is the only kind that will
determine the final verdict. England
further wants to prove that volun
teer army can overcome one of the
militaristic kind.

London, June lit is predicted
here that the world will soon be thrill
ed by aerial battles on a vaster scale
than has ever before been dreamed of.
1t is known that England has over
twenty-five hundred aircraft Ger
many has less than two thousand
taubes but is heavily grinding out Yep
pelins.
1t is understood that England is to
aid France in some of the biggest air
raids yet attempted. The defenses of
London are now so strong that it will
probably be impossible for an invader
to reach the central points of the city.
