to see that they have not
made their supreme sac
rifice in vain,
"Some years ago a story
was written about a world
conference, whose purpose
it was to make the world
secure for civilization. The chair
man of the meeting had finished
his opening speech, and the ap-
plause had died down. when a man
dark OF skin with black brows that
met. got quickly to his feet. No
man had seen him enter. He had
Disappearance Of one who might
have travelled far to reach the con-
ference hall, enduring hardship,
trials and storm. His hair was as
ii it had once been raven. but the
years had sprinkled it with gray.
He had a strong hooked nose, and
eyes of blue.
His husky voice filed the great
hall Though l speak said he, with
the tongues of men and of angels,
and have not charity am become
as sounding brass, or a tinklins
cymbal!'
The babel of the tongues OF men
died down.
The chairman arose, will the
speaker address the chair?' | was
addressing the chair in particular,
He said. The chairman was dis
turbed, L do not seem to know the
delegate he said. Have the records
been checked The records dl1
not reveal anyone by the name OF,
Gaius julius Paulus'.
The chairman called for the
ushers to remove the man, and
they came forward as though 10
lead him away, but he looked
straight into their eyes and said
in a low voice. 4 will speak first.
AS he spoke every man in the
great conference knew the meet
ing would be in vain, for each
man knew WHY he was there. Each

delegate looked at the other and
then within himself
The stranger finished by say
ing, Charity seeketh not her own;
charity thinketh no evil; charity
never faileth,' The meeting was
dismissed and the delegates be-
gan TO discuss the stranger
speech, but he was no where to be
found.
The American Jew said, He
read from our American Bible. The
delegate from China said, He read
from our way OF life and express
ed our ideals beautifully In turn
each man said he had expressed
the ideals OF his own people, and
had spoken his own tongue in
grand fashion. Each had heard
the man in their own tongue. but
no one gave any weight to what
he had heard by action, and the
conference ended in failure.
II the lives OF those who are
to be honored today are not TO
have died in vain, we must face
certain facts fearlessly We must
discover some force that can make
1t possible for the world 10 run
without going to war every few
years.
The conference has been the
chief way for many years. Around
all the conference tables are the
men: sent there for selfish pur.
poses. Sent for the advantages
their nation felt they could Sc.
cure, and to give as little to any
other nation as possible They
have always been selected for their
ability to drive a close bargain.
People cry, is not that the correct
thing to do, should our nation give
when all others are getting all
possible?'
Conferences may speak with
the tongues OF men. and OF angels,
but the words Of great orators, and
the words OF wisdom from the
sages mean absolutely nothing I'M
less there is charity, they become
as a sounding brass and tinkling
cymbal.
mo world conference from 1919
10 the present date has ended in
much but failure, because OF the
lack OF charity. Every boy who
went over the top in the last war
did so TO make the world safe for
civilization. but the peace treaty
that followed was ,overshadowed
by men who knewERo charity and
thus made a peace which made a
sane world absolutely impossible
The world has always practiced
selfshness around the. conference
table.
The world has also tried the
diplomatic approach. The world is
trying that plan now, but economic
pressure is always found on these
fronts. and this pressure is mott.
