and this was certainly most encour-
/. aging one. 1t showed that the women
of the church had taken in and eXpend'
ed over 5000 and had nice balance III
the treasury. The Sunday school re,
port showed that the Sunday school
was in prosperous condition, in fact
every branch Of the church had sum
left in the treasury after all bills had
been paid. That is something that mas
mt haupened in the church for some
years and it indicates the healthy con
dition Of the church. The election OF

The features of this meeting Whlch al
fered from others was the fact that
more of the contributors to the support

tempt Of the world. would submit an
entirely new project. This act would
either be regarded as arrant madness
or attempted international bossism.
"These are Hateful times. Organized
government has definite duty all over
the world. The house of civilization
is to be put in order. The supreme is.
sue Of the century is before us and the
nation that halts and delays is playing
with fire. The finest impulses of hui

merely seek to make another horrible
war impossible Under the old order
Of International anarchy war came

before We knew it. 1t sickens our
senses to think of another.
Ratification First Duty.
1.-THE first duty of the new admins
tration clearly will be the ratification
of the treaty. The matter should be
approached without thought Of the bit
terness of the past. The public yer
dict will have been rendered, and ! am
confident that the friends Of world
peace as it will be promoted by the
league will have In numbers the con-
stitutional requisite 70 favorable sena
torial action. The captiOus may say
that our platform reference to reserva
tons Is vague and Indefinite. Its mean
ing. In brief, is that we shall state
our Interpretation Of the covenant as
matter of good faith to our assO-
ciates and as precaution against
any misunderstanding in the future.
The point Is that after the people shall
have spoken the league will be in the
hands Of its friends IN the senate, and
safe index as to what they will do is
supplied by what reservations they
have proposed In the past. Some
months ago, in contributed article to
the New York Times, ! expressed my
own opinion Of the situation as 1t then
was. reproduce It here:
"'There can be no doubt but that
some senators have been conscientious
IN their desire to clarity the provisions
Of the treaty. Two things apparently
have disturbed them: First, they want
ed to make sure that the league was
not to be an alliance. and that its basic
purpose was peace and not controver
sy. Second, they wanted the Other
powers signing the instrument to un
derstand our constitutional Limitations
beyond which the treaty-making pow
err cannot CO. Dealing with these tive
questions In order, 1t has always seem
ed to me that the Interpretation Of tn,
