Churchmen for Peace.

Some months ago Mr.. BRAND, the
French minister of foreign affairs,
submitted proposal to the govern
ment at Washington for treaty be-
tween the United States and France
to outlaw war. This suggestion meets
with hearty public approval.
Seven hundred churchmen of many
of the Protestant denominations have
submitted a memorial addressed to
the president and the senate urging
that the French offer be accepted
and that a treaty be framed to make
it effective. The petitioners not only
endorse the French plan but urge that
it's terms be extended to all other ma
tions.
1t is not doubted that in due sea-
son and at an appropriate time Pres
ident Coolidge will frame a tentative
treaty with France to make peace
perpetual between these two world
powers. Such an agreement between
the two governments would be sub
ject to the approval of the parliament
of France and the senate of the
United States.
AS BRAND speaks with authority
for the French legislature, there is
no doubt of French parliamentary ap-
proval. Under the American system
of government the president, not hold
ing office at the hands of the senate,
canot speak for it. But there is no
doubt of senatorial approval Within
a few months, at least before the
peonies bloom in Duluth again, the
United States and France will have
consummated an international bar
gain that there never shall be war
between them.
The churchmen regard war as a
great evil, as archaic as the ancient
trial by combat or the obsolete duel
But no doubt they vision beyond.
Once war is no more the people, the
nations, will turn their attention to
cultivating other virtues which tend
to make life better and happier.
The practice of one virtue newt
ably brings in its train the practice
of others. The abolition of war will
be followed by the ending of violent
internal lawbreaking. The tension

1t was His (JesusO faith that, if
you get into the world anywhere a
SEED of the Kingdom, a nucleus of
persons who exhibit the blessed life,
who are dedicated to expanding good
ness, who rely implicitly on love and
sympathy, who try in meek patience
the slow method that is right, who
still feel the clasping hands of love
even when they go through pain and
trial and loss, this seed-spirit will
spread, this nucleus will enlarge and
create society.-Rufus M. Jones.

Let us give thanks! For the organi-

character; for the fellowship of man
in spiritual faith, moral endeavor, and
the quest of truth; for the dream that
love will one day everywhere prevail
to the confounding of all unkindness,
all uncleanness; for God the Father
of all-who is the meaning of life, the
home of the soul and the hope that
love can never lose its own" Amen.
