"BE OF THE SAME MIND"
He who spurns a brothers love
Will shortly spurn that from above;
But he who doth to love incline
Will sooner yield to the divine.
He who shares his brothers care u
viii find himself with less to bear;
But if he regards it not
Will largely have lonely lot
He who shuns brothers grief
VIII sometime vainly seek relief;
But he who helps in time of need
Will his soul in fairness feed.
He who mourns with those who mourn
Doth with love himself adorn:
He who laughs with those who laugh
Doth himself life's sweetness quaff

Peace By Force,

From the Washington Post.
The current discussions in Washington
on the subject of securing world peace are
most interesting, and all men of good will
cherish the hope that some time. some
how. the nations may be brought together
in a compact which will compel them all
to preserve peace. The discussion SINNERS
down in most cases to the conclusion that
force must be utilized to keep the nations
from one another's threats. This is the
opinion of Mr.. Root, the most eminent and
able of those who have considered the
predicament into which the world has fallen
through the breakdown Of International
law.
The voluntary agreement of the nations
TO employ force, If necessary. to prevent
any one Of them from going to war-that
seems to be the present ideal.
What far-away dreaml
At time when internationallaw means
nothing to any nation that has the power
10 break it when the treaties are scraps
Of paper: when nations are being blotted
out of existence and others are fighting for
their lives. when they declare beforehand
that they will not accept any treaties Of
peace that are not backed by physical
guarantees or hostages; when right every
where is ground under the heel Of might,
il seems long way to the time when in
ternational law will not only be rehabili-
tated and universally respected, but when
