CHICAGO, July 9.-International
peace was considered in six great con-
ferences attended by over fifteen thou
sand delegates at the Fifth Worlds
Christian Endeavor convention this
morning Plans were made for secur-
ing the 100000 new members of the
Christian Endeavor Peace Union, sug-
gested in the message from President
Francis E. Clark last night
World peace was the subject of the
address by Rev. John w. Day of Col
umbus, Ohio, in the Coliseum this
morning.
"The message of Jesus Christ to the
world was a message of peace" said
Rev. Day. "A few years ago l stood
on Michigan avenue in Chicago as
thousands of the members of the Grand
Army of the Republic marched by.
The empty sleeves, the missing limbs,
the scars and marks all told their
silent stories of the fearful havoc Of
war Then [ thought of the fourteen
millions of lives lost in the last cen-
tury upon the battlefield, of the billions
of dollars that was wasted, of the
thousands of mothers mourning for
sons offered upon the altars of ma
tional hatred, of wives. left to toll in
earth's fields alone, of fatherless chill
dren and broken homes, of men ta-
ken from professional, business, and
social walks of life-I wondered If the
song of the angels in the night of the
nativity had been forgotten and If the
of peace proclaimed by Jesus
Christ was mythical.
Turning from that scene and the
more modern battlefelds of carnage,
to the God of Peace whom we know
is building a kingdom of peace take
courage and am more firmly fixed in
the belief that it is the duty of every
young man and woman at this cru
cial period of the worlds life to pledge
their powers to the God of Peace to do
everything one life can for the estab-
lishment of peace in the world.
At last nights meeting Francis E.
Clark, president of the Worlds Fifth
and the International Twenty-seventn
pleaded for missionary
work among Christian nations for in
creased millions as members of the
United Society of Endeavorers. He
raced the growth of the organization
and went into considerable detail es-
oecially regarding the growth since
he last convention five years ago at
Agra, India.
He emphasized the purpose of the
evangelize the world.
He called upon all Endeavorers as
'millionaires, not of money but of
lumbers," to think in millions, and
lchieve millions in a continual cru
'du6 lOI ulOlc iICh1USlo.
The state officers, county officers,
md local union officers are the gen
,rals, colonels and captains who must
conduct the mobilizing and standard
zing of this great peaceful army of
said President Clark.
I would not take your breath away. l
m speaking words of truth and Sob
rness. Here is what I ask you to
4chieve, in the name of the Master, !
nd trusting in Him for strength for
he next two years:
"A Million Converts
"A Million New Endeavorers."
"A Million New Church Members"
"A Million New Dollars for Mis-
ions.'
"A Million New Members of the
eace Union
Ten Thousand New Societies Of
Endeavor."
Twenty Thousand Now comrades Oh
le Quiet Hour
"Ten Thousand New Legionaries.
"Ten Thousand New Christian En-
eavor Experts"
Give Thousand New Life-Work Re-
ruits."
This is not too large a task for
lie eager, ernest Endeavorers of the
orld We once before added mil
on new members and ten thousand !
ew societies in two years time. With {
! the world enlisted in this worlds {
invention we can undertake this s
rger program in the two years to
me and with Gods help accomplish {
