MaIady Affecting America, Pas
toral Message Declares.
God Hates Empty Peace as
Much as War.
LESSON FROM EUROPE
Foreign Nations Teach Damag-
ing Results of Liquor.
ExaltatiOn of God Sole Cure
for All Evil.

ST. Louis, Oct. 2s.-The United
States is suffering from diseased
peace" This is the diagnosis of the
bishops of the Protestant Episcopal
church, whose pastoral message was
read at the close of the forty-fourth
triennlal convention here.
Bishop Charles H. Brent of the Phil
ippine Islands, read the message which
within the next three weeks. will be
read in every Protestant Episcopal
church in the United States.
The message refers to the worlds
community interests and says:
THE world is henceforth one from
north to south, and from east to west,
tibet political expediency may in war
time require neutrality of state, but
cannot hold in leash symp -thies of in
dividuals" and that the fact that our
nation is not at war offers no ground
for smugness, much less for self-ap-
plause."
God hates a Goddess and empty
peace as much as he hates upright
eous war" continues the message.
Let it be sadly said that in proper
ton to her swollen wealth, as figures
show, Americas contribution toward
the alienation of innocent sufferers in
Europe is the merest pittance Christ
is calling men to satisfy their
wealth.
"The wounds of Armenia, Poland
and Belgium still lie gaping to the sky
and offer their dumb appeal to God
and man.
Poor in Manhood.
DECEASED national life will result if
America comes out of this war richer
in purse but poorer in manhood" vas
the message.

Bishop Brent, whom thoughtless peo-
pie pity, have as much to teach US as
we have to teach them. They repuke
our worship of comfort and money by
their daily offering upon a reeklng al
tar of life and treasure.
sT'hey declare to US that Intoxicating
LIQUOR which is so freely and careless
~ drunk in our land Is a national
menace to be dispensed with at the
cost of lowered revenue, but with the
gain of heightened virility. They teach
US that food is the staff of physical
life, not an invitation to daintiness or
gluttony.'
Greed or honor, possession and
pleasures, is said in the message to
be the cause of the diseased peace"
in this country which will cause man.

"Son of God Goes Forth to War"
Referring to conditions in the
Orient. the message says:
Whatsoever dangers may lie lurk-
ing beyond our western horizon, they
can surely be averted by spirit of
justice, which has not always pre-
vailed in our dealing with the orient"
AS the cure for all the ills enumer-
ated in the message, this is given:
