the Institute last Sunday, turned out
to be one of the most enthusiastic
meetings held here so far. The Rt.
Rev. Bishop took up the various items
of the Presidents peace proposal in
dividually, and showed how no one
could reasonably hesitate in adopting
the principles as they were set forth
by our chief magistrate. A series of
resolutions drafted by the Ri Rev.
Bishop was moved for approval by the
Hon. J. D. Sullivan, and seconded by
Mr. C. F. Ladner. The entire as
sembly voiced its unanimous ap-
prevail by rising. The resolutions
adopted read as follows:
Whereas, on January s, before a
joint session of our National Con-
gress, our Chief Magistrate, President
Wilson, with rare craftsmanship has
given to the country and to the ma
tions of the world, both great and
small, a clear, concise and compre-
hensive statement of the ideals of
the American people in prosecuting
the present world-war to a final,
satisfactory and permanent conclu-
sion, and
Whereas, this declaration embodies
the principle that our own safety and
happiness demand that the American
standard of liberty and equal justice
be accepted as the international
standard of the world, and
Whereas, all territorial conquest,
political domination and commercial
restraint among nations by secret
conspiracy or force of arms on land
or sea is contrary to the American
ideals of international justice, and
Whereas, our Presidents declara-
ton embodies the guarantee that we
will not rest until these ideals are
realized and maintained for and by
all the nations of the world, and
Whereas, these ideals eminently
reflect the mind and heart of our
great Nation, and express but the
principles of purest Christian justice
and charity, and harmonic perfectly
with the ideals expressed by the
Father of Christendom in his peace
plea to the nations at war, and
Whereas, permanent and peaceful
enjoyment of liberty and happiness
is impossible without the acceptance
of these ideals by all nations, be it
Resolved, that we express our
gratitude and admiration for this
declaration of our president and most
heartily endorse it's lofty and inspir-
ing ideals, and be it
Resolved, that we pledge ourselves
to continue our efforts and our CO.
operation with our president to the
by the nations of the world and serve
for all time as the guarantee of the
peace and peaceful development of all
nations, and be it
Resolved, that these resolutions be
sent to our representatives in Wash
ington to be brought to the attention
of His Excellency, our President.
The priests of the diocese convened
at the Institute last Tuesday, and
listened with much attention and in
terest to a lecture given by Mr.
