Jehovah to save men. When called
for a volunteer to carry His message,
Isaiah answered. Here am l. send
me-" The prophet had counted the
cost. He understood that the sum-
mons and his response to the divine
call meant that he would be con-
sidered unpatriotic. He understood
that the call was for him to work on
even while the people kept growing

The prophet saw that their peril
was due to the fact that the peoples
hearts were fat. their ears heavy and
their eyes closed to their actual con-
oltion; The world thas ought to have
taught them of the glory of God, they
saw not with It's fullness of divine
glory. but as an opening for them
to add their own profits The world
was not made for our selfish and
>sordid pleasures. but we were placed
in 1t to help prove to others the full
ness of the Fathers love and the
richness Of His grace.
Prosperity had brought its perils to
Judah. as 1t has to America. They

similar conditions, which,, unless

Arguments advanced from many
quarters on the age. obsoleteness. and
fragility of ,the Central Union Mis-
sion building. recently damaged by
fire, are best supported by a brief
history OF the structure submitted to

letter Mr.. Topham sets forth the

establishment has a neat, comfort
able and luxurious appearance" 1t
was added. John H. Semmes was the
proprietor.
"The popularity and competition of
several previously established hotels
around on Pennsylvania avenue prov
ed too much for this, then new, Ven-
ture, and after an existence of about
twelve years it ceased to be used as
hotel.

'In November. 1879. the city post
office was removed from F street. be-

'TEN-YEAR CRUSADE
ON WARPLANNED
Federal Council Of Churches
Would Push Christian
Peace Program.

Under the name OF "the new cru
sade" the commission on interna-
tional justice and goodwill of the
Federal Council Of tho Churches OF
Christ in America is planning ten
year war against war. It will be
along educational lines, enlisting mil.
lions Of Christians in securing a war
less world.
The plan calls for a constructive
program along practical lines. the ad-
vance being made step by step. 1t is
not the wild dream of a warless
world to be brought about overnight
by merely sentimental means, but a
definite goal achieved through the es-
tablishment of international law and
the institutions of peace as a substi-
tute for war in the settling Of inter-
national disputes.
The ten-year campaign will coincide
with the ten-year naval holiday
brought about through the recent con-
ference on limitation of armament.
1T matters little how vigorously
the commission may work. We shall
not get very far" said DR.. Sidney l.
Gulick. secretary of the commission
"unless tens OF thousands of American
churches, with their scores of thou
sands of pastors. and their millions OF
practical members. both men
and women, shall unite with passion
ate enthusiasm in sane and practi-
cal program for the Christian ideal
Of q warfess world. Each church must
work. All must work. And all must
work together.
When in each denomination the
ecclesiastical authorities. pastors and
consecrated laymen and women and
young people grapple as earnestly
with the program for warless
world as they did with their war
time commissions and their support
OF the government to win the great
war. and as they long have for evan
gelism. for foreign missions and fol-
Christian education. we may hope te
accomplish real results.
"A warless world can be established
when the Christians of the world
really grapple with the task intelli.
gently and with the enthusiasm and
determination Of new, crusade. This
commission invites the cooperation
Of all churches and Christians in
America in this pressing task-this
great and glorious crusade to END
forever the greatest menace now
threatening mankind"
