has done since the beginning Of his
term. but Of his acts and conduct in
relation to the European war, we do. |
together with other good and loyal |
citizens heartily approve. And, con-
sidering what might have happened !
If different counsels had prevailed
we hope the governments good sense,
fairness and poise may successfully /
continue to the end
"In addition to an increased love !
and respect of our people for their
country, another good result OF the
war is a broadening of the mind and
softening OF the heart Of the citizens.
Contributions in this land for the
relief Of distress and unhappiness in
other countries have come as never
before, not only from the rich and
we'll to do, but In a marvellous man
nor from the scanty earnings Of the
poor"
"The censure must rest upon the
few who arc responsible for the war,
exclaimed Judge Pennewill, land the
pity is that those few cannot be
placed on the firing line to face the
danger"
Judge Pennewill said he believed
this will be the last war between
great nations. The cost has been
so enormous and the sacrifice so
great that il will be a severe lesson. II
may be that behind these dark clouds
! is the beautiful sunshine and peace
which will soon break out and shine
! forever. It is cur duty to preserve
peace and prosperity in our own land
and minister to suffering humanity in
other parts Of the world.
Should BE Prepared.
