TOMORRON-The Bagpipc Is Not Scotch Instrument!

every day nearly all our business ra- lies upon nothing more tangihl" than mere promises to pay: when scraps of bank note papers arc enough to assure our economic security Nhen every home rests on q promise to love and support; when nearly cV- erything VIC value in this world rests back upon tho word of someone, someone we have learned 10 trust,
 Shall we for T moment admit the possibility that this country of ours would pledge it's solemn word with out meaning 10 keep itH God forbid, I, for one. believe that when Amer ica or Britain, or France or Ger many or Japan. or any other rr- sponsibIc nation says today. This will I do. and this will not do.' you and l, as Christians should take that declaration at its full value. W hat is moro, | would suggest here that all those. who snccr at or holltll" such solemn statements of pUrpo' {" as this peace pact, come p"rliHuSlN near to playing tho fool in the pres cncc of Almighty God.
 "Drcams arc they? But yc cannot stay them,
 Or thrust the dawn back for one hour.
 Truth, love, and justice, if W" slay | them,
 Return with moro than earthly i power.
 Strive, if yc will, to seal tn" foun- | tains
 That send the spring through leaf and spray:
 Drive back the sun from eastern mountains.
 Then, bid this mightjcr movement ! stay.
 1 This is no time for cNnclsm. my friends. It IS d time for faith, and you and | must have faith that a
 word. yes. one word. peace, can create d new world today just as a word created a new world way back there in the beginning of things.
 Object Not Accomplished
 "And, then, on the other hand there is the danger that we may take this peace pact, not cynlrally hut thoughtleSsly. We may assume as many Sccn' to do, that because these high contracting parties met in Paris and affixed their signatures
 and tho seals of their respective nations to the document, and then went home and managed to get
 their work ratified by the senate or the house of parliament or inc
 chamber of deputies, as tho ease
 may he. all the work is now
 what the Frcnchmrn call fait
 accompli. Thank God. some or the
 work has been done already. Forty
 six nations have now ratified the
 ract. But. and this is the largest
 mart of the order by far, if thlS
 word which we have plGhted IS to
 he mighty and prevail, it must h' made 10 function fully in processes and in institutions. If must be httcd upon great waves of popular con
 yiction and swept on to its fuli1'I'
