morning. It was one of the biggest con-
gregations in the church's history and
the patriotic zeal Of the crowd was out
OF all proportion even to its numbers
though many were turned away for lacl'
OF seating and standing room.
British and American army and navy
uniforms were plentiful throughout the
and the flags Of England
and America were draped across the
pulpit and were carried side by side
behind the cross In the professional

nations waved from the iron gates In

said DR.. Manning. Eve send
to her our pledge OF comradeship and
bsstherhood. We pay our tribute OF
honor without reserve to the whole peo-
pie for the part they have played In
these four years and we thank God that
our men are now fighting be- 10 VOC
and our brethren OF France. They will
be with you in ever increasing numbers
until the stern task Is completed.
The American people will never lis
ten TO any proposal to end this war ex-
cept by complete and decisive victory
We want the little group OF unreasonins
pacifists in Great Britain, with Lord
among them, to know that
their views will find no support from
the United States, and that their sugges-
tions Of peace by negotiation with the
Trussian power arouse in us only deer
moral disgust.
ave do not understand men who talk
Of bartering with the power which holds
Belgium captive, which still has its
brutal hand on France, which holds
Russia in its tolls and whose avowed
object Is TO subjugate the world. With
Britain and our other allies we ARE
going to dictate TO Germany the terms
OF a Just peace. and We are going to
compel her hereafter to keep the peace.
Says Pacinsm Il Treason.
TO us In America the position OF
these pacifsts is disregard or Justice
and treason TO mankind II is not ad-
vocacy OF peace (; II is betrayal OF peace
and encouragement OF war. We will
hear OF no peace negotiations with a
power which respects no treaty and
egards no law in heaven or on earth.
As President Wilson has said, so long
as Germany is controlled by her pres
emit rulers--and We may add by her
present spirit--no nation on earth can
take her word.
The necessity OF ending this war only
by a decisive victory is to the American
people a matter of determined resolve
and OF deep religious conviction, and
Il Is the hope. the prayer and the Arm
purpose OF US Americans that out OF
this great struggle shall come a league
and brotherhood of nations that shall
maintain justice and assure peace. The
sure basis and foundation for this IL full
among the English speaking
people throughout the world.
And already the war has brought
this fellowship to pass. The old anti
British feeling. which had place among
US In this land is now gone, We hope
forever.
The war has made us glory in our
close ties with Great Britain, the tie
Of common language. the tie OF
common principles and ideals. the tie
OF a common heritage of liberty. the
blood.
THE fellowship and brotherhood OF
the English speaking peoples does not
need 20 be artiicially created nor ar
ranged by treaty. 1t has no selfish
aims or purposes. IT will seek no sordid
advantage for itself but only the COM
mon good Of all. 1t will be the guar
an;ee OF right and freedom to men
every where.
Rejoicing TO Come Later.
This is not a day OF rejoicing That
will come later when we meet to offer
up our thanksgiving for peace restored
and assured by overwhelming victory
tor the right. That day may still be
long in coming but II may arrive more
quickly than II would be wise or safe
for US to anticipate. On this day four
years ago Great Britain threw all the
power OF her vast empire into the fight
FOR liberty. We all know what must
have happened II Britain had hesitated
or held back. We Americans recognize
and pay honor without stint to the
splendid deeds OF our Allies In this
war"
