Chicago, July 9.-International peace

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
a stirring address by Rev. John w. Day
of Columbus, o.. in the Coliseum this
morning.
THE message of Jesus Christ to the
world was message Of peace said
Rev. Day. "A few years ago 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 ST.
lent stories of the fearful havoc OF the
war. Then thought of the fourteen
millions of lives lost in the last CEN
tury upon the battlefield. of the BILL
lions of dollars worse than wasted, OF
the thousands of mothers mourning
for sons offered upon the affairs of na-
tional hatred, of wives left to toll In
earth's fields alone, of fatherless chill
dren and broken homes, of men taken
from professional, business and social
walks of lifeI wondered II the song
of the angels in the night OF the nativ-
ity had been forgotten and II the mes
sage of peace proclaimed by Jesus was
mythical.
Turning from that scene and the
more modern battlefields of carnage.
to the God of Peace whom we know Is
building 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 crucial
period of the worlds life to pledge
their powers to the God OF Peace to
do everything one life can for the es-
tablishment of peace in the world"
At last nights meeting Francis e.
Clark of the worlds fifth international
