GLOR|F FLYING PEACE
HELD WORLD NEED
America Can Exert Largest
Influence in Cause, Says
League Official.

mo country can have a greater in
fluence in the destinies Of the world for
peace than America" says Agustin Ed
wards. president of the Third Council
of the League of Nations. in a signed
article released by the Federal Council
of Churches today.
Senior Edwards, who is owner OF Ell
Mercurio, the leading Chilean paper
published at Valparaiso, is the Chilean
ambassador to Great Britain. The ar
ticle was written in London at the re-
quest of the Federal Council of Churches
for statement on international CO.
operation. The full statement is as fol-
lows:
'Glorification of war has been for CEN
turtles the very foundation Of the edu-
cation of mankind. Battles won or lost
have been the landmarks OF history and
victory or defeat on the battlefield the
very essence of the teaching of patriot
ism. The pivot OF the worlds very life
has been war.
Must GIOrify Place.
The horrors Of the great war and.
moreover, the unspeakable and terribly
ing developments of aerial, chemical and
submarine war have opened the eyes Of
humanity and no one falls TO see that
nothing short of the wholesale destruc-
ton of civilization is in store for us I'M
less we stop clarifying war and start
with all our might clarifying peace.
The league of nations Is nothing II
II is not the outward and visible sign
of the necessity OF clarifying peace and
all that leads to peace and the CONSOLE
dation of peace.
The league of nations as an institu-
ton, the covenant as an International
compact, efficiency of the council and of
the assembly, as the organs of the
some, praised by others. But what is
above and beyond discussion is what the
league of nations represents. what the
covenant meant to create, what the
council and the assembly are trying
to do.
THE only great hope of humanity lies
in the glorification of peace.
Churches Can Help.
And ask. can there be a more eff
cient instrument to help in this great
work than the Federal Council Of the
Churches Of Christ in America? Can
any country have a greater influence
in the destinies of the world for the
consolidation of peace than America
ITO educate the people in the new
school Of international thought, which
substitutes cooperation for predomt-
nance, which seeks progress in the proc
ess of addition instead of superposition
OF activities, is paramount duty of
all civilized men and perhaps the great
est imposed upon those OF the Christian
faith.
Mutual understanding, untirine CO.
operation. unceasing intercourse will
bring about that glorification OF
peace which will change the very
frame of mind of much tried and
tired humanity"

according to an announcement made
by S. C. Harris, district freight agent
of the Central of Georgia railway
here yesterday.
Already two Of the cars have been
reserved, he stated, and those desir-
ing to attend are beginning to make
reservations in the third car, also.
He urged others who desire to make
the trip to make arrangements as
soon as possible so that the third car
could be assured for this section.
A report Of a shortage of 500 cars
already for the convention was made
and that is the reason given for the
limiting Of the Columbus quota to
three.
