in the air. This conference cannot
adjourn until it has done something
to bring forward universal peace,
something more than an agreement
to cut down the cost oe preparing
for the next war. Or else it Will be
preliminary to another conference
that will carry on the work.
It is fairly certain tina: it will ac-
complish it's immediate purpose and
fairly certain it will do more than
that. 1t cannot wholly fail and it
cannot wholly succeed.
It cannot wholly fai! because Of
the living prayer of all the 1eople
Of the world. It cdnnot wholly sue
ceed because there is not yet in the
world that abundance Of good will
that makes reace, that keen desire
fer justice tina: conpela peace. The
conference which Is pressed forward
by the desire Of all the people in
the world cannot run beyond their
desire.
When every country is so keen
for justice that it will submit to he
public opinion of the world any
cause of difference between Itself
and a neighbor, then peace will be
made. We have not come to that
point yet. We are coming to it.
The world is nearer to peace to-
day than it ever was before. They
called a conference Of the powers in
Washington to talk about limita-
ton Of armaments. And behold, II
is peace conference
The conference at Versailles was

called a. peace conference. It was
made up mostly Of men who were
thinking about clinching the victory:
at the same time were filled by fear.
They did the best they could, they
did the only thing they could have
done. They were the only men who
could speak for their countries. the
men who had been in charge Of
things when the war was won. They
did their best but they could not
make peace in an atmosphere Of
fear
Now, some Of the same men and
others like them come together to
talk about arms. And though they
bargain in the old way for the old
advantages, for the underhold and
the vantage Of war, nevertheless it
is a peace conference. The thought
Of the world cannot be excluded.
And the world is thinking Of peace.
And they meet in an atmosphere OF
hope.

While flames cracked above their

ing, 43 inmates of the home, many of
them between 80 and 80 years, few
too feeble to walk unassisted, bravely
formed in line just like school children
at fire drill, and at the command of
Mrs. S. Garrett, the matron, march
ed and hobbled and shuffled their way
quietly from their bedrooms to the
street and safety. A neighbor saw the
building on fire and informed Mrs.
Garrett.
The fire was caused by defective
wiring. The inmates too feeble to
stand exposure were taken to the homes
Of neighbors. It was the first fire
since Mrs. Garrett has been matron Of
the institution, period of rs years,
and after commenting on the wonder
full display of bravery of the women
she said: Il often wondered how they
would act in case of fire."
