| HXM M. eli-but, sometimes she's as deadly
as collin rattlesnake!
The dam above the city, spreads destruction
when it busts-and tempered steel is helpless,
in the moisture, where it rusts There's demons
in the under-tow, that drags US out to sea-
which proves that these here quiet things is
dangerous as be.
Where the thunders of Niagara mocks the
boomin' of the skies-or, where the roarin' rivers
sweep the valleys as they rise,-you can ask the
flynn thousands as they in wild alarm,
if they think little water is entirely free from
harm
It's the same with Christianity-as calm as
twilght's hour,-as peaceabe as angels, yet,
Herculean in its power :, and, once it gets a
Roadway on its everlastn path, it will sweep the
world fer Jesus, like the waters in their wrath
PRAY GOD FOR DISARMAMENT-On Nov
III, 1918, the German High Sea Fleet sailed
gloomily over to English shores and surrendered
On that day the supremacy of the Atlantic Ocean
as naval sea ended.
In August 1920 the powerful new Pacific fleet
of the American nation sailed through the Pan
anna Canal and plunged into the waters of the
vast Pacific. On that day the Pacific Ocean be-
came the seat of the worlds naval power
The most ambitious effort of two centuries to
build up new rule of the failed when Ger
many handed over her dreadnaughts 1t is not
Ito be expected that another European power will
again ever try supremacy in the Atlantic There
will not be enough at stake. But in the west it
is different. The two shores of the Pacific loom
up in the mists of the future with such tremen-
hat I
tnue to be vexed by wars and rumors of war, at
least three nations must of necessity make the
waters of that vast ocean reek with the smoke of
their battleships
Either we must have disarmament and the
probable peace that goes with disarmament. or
we Americans must make up our minds to ENOR-
NOUS EXPENDITURES OF TREASURE
AND HUMAN LIFE during the coming dec
AIDES 1t cannot go now. If the United
States and Japan continue the present feverish
preparation for war, it will be war
Declaration of war between Ameriia and Japan
will be the mere touch of the match We will
never give in, and more will Japan. The
whole world will be dragged in--whte man,
brown man, yellow man, black man. Anglo
Saxon, Mongolian Teuton, Sav, and Latin.
And don't forget the huge masses of humanity in
ASA, masses that can lose millions in the human
flesh every year and balance their losses with the
birth rate.
1t it is fate that the flame shall be kindled
America is not afraid We will go to the end for
our rights our birthright and our honor.
But there is no need of it. The way out is
President Hardngs international conference
hat conference can stop the mad rush to arms
II the people of the world make it everlasting1v
clear to the conferees that THEY HAD BET
TER NOT ADJOURN until they find the route
to peace.
What can you do to back the President of the
United States at this critical moment in the
worlds history?
What can you do to save your children and
your grandchildren from destruction?
At least you can lift your single voice and YOU
can urge your neighbors to lift their voices for
peace so loudly that they will be heard.
The people of every city, every town, every
hamlet every countryside in America should
gather IN meeting and pray for the success of
the coming international conference at Wash
ington.
