presence, were it the last word even
given me to speak from this free

it was wrong then to tear human
flesh to shreds, to devastate homes
and desecTate the ideals of men and
of nations, it is wrong now, and it is
everlastingly wrong.
War is still a survival of brute
forces. 1t occurs where spirit has
not yet freed itself from the entan-

our increasing prosperity, the profits
from our hellish industry of making
things that kill. We have sOwed the
continent of Europe thick with frag-

with human blood. We have filed
hospitals with agonized bodies. We
Ehave torn homes to pieces. We have
planted uncounted acres with human

spent yearly on deans is wasted
money.
'Tt is with no disrespect that I say
it," he declared, "but believe that the
whole idea of dean being at the head
of cathedral and the bishop having
no right whatever in his see is an IN
catholic thing. In some cathedrals a
bishop cannot even preach without the
leave of the dean and chapter. There
