for the r Conclusion Par Prophecy and i WorldWide Peace and How to Secure Peace is the state of living in quiet freedom free from and in perfect harmony with our fellow creatures it is the fulfilment of sovdreign law the confirmation of eternal law by the Survival of regard for love and honor the soul of patriotism the salt of citizenship and the steady but unceasing call of re ligion Universal peace em braces all this and extends far ther until it establishes the equity of all mankind The organ of influence of sove reign law on human life is mans I moral sense and human destiny its accomplish meal In the evo lution of the human race is not peace a- great Is it not in the eras of peace and free- that the greatest wonders of mankind are unrolled Peace has her victories not less re nowned than war Expedience science and philosophy all main tain the necessity of peace Hu man nature is all subject to law and that law responds to the call of peace Is patriotism I lie enemy of peace Certainly not No man loves his Home less for loving his country more neither is patriotism incompatible with love to all mankind No cause can ever by death of any love that is noble and pure It is but the perfecting of love we call patriotic which makes lis ex tend ils unifying power Was it not patriotism to selfish ends which lost us America and was not this the result of war not peace Peace is the screw oil which religion philosophy and experience turn which constitute the salt of citizenship It is the call of religion to the church and through the church to the world Peace on earth good will toward men we say in our public worship The crown ing title of King of Kings was neither Wonderful nor Counsel lor nor Everlasting Father but Prince of Peace It is the high est aim of mankind to establish peace throughout the world It Is the firm belief of many of our statesmen that civilization will finally exchange the It of blood and iron for that na tional fraternity only through the growing prevalence of moral forces However true it may he that selfishness is a great mo tive still it has never effected any of the great reforms Peace like godliness is profitable but if it is approached on a selfish basis it will not be realized or if it is war and wickedness will surely appear later not the scrip- hire say Blessed arc the peace makers for they shall be called the of CM

armaments to a happier climax can be ex pected Although the German chancellor stated in his blindness tuat Disarmament is impractic able as long as men are men and states are states yet common foresight does make it imprac ticable as long as men and states see no better way of settling dis putes than by going to war armament limitation problem will solve itself when the common sense of the world insists on adopting the final arbitration of justice in the place of that of the sword What a scene does the whole of present this day I And not only Europe isaffected but every government and nation un der the influence of the European mind This is the of war Mankind cannot waver forever be tween sanity and madness His whole being unfolds to peace just as it recoils from the war In time

settlement But what force Is it not the force found in developing the moral sense of civilized mankind This has been clearly- shown in the recent pro gress of the social world Na tions should be bound by treaties to respect wishes which they would otherwise vio late Treaties which leave the parties to it suits them implies no progress at all It is a pact written In water and might just as well not have been made The right sort of treaty exists between Norway and Swe den and by means of it many of the occasions which would have amounted to war have been lifted out of the sphere of violence the realm of equity If the lead ing countries agree to this it is no unreasonable thai the other nations will follow suit Smaller countries will follow their lead and thus by degrees something approaching universal arbitration will become law as far as civilization extends Six teen hundred years ago Arnobius said If all men would only for a moment give car to Christs sav ing and peacemaking commands then straightway would the entire turning to kindlier of fices the use of iron live in gen tlest pec and agree in concord fenced round with In violable treaties I That was the beginning of the fourth century and it is now the twentieth and men are still butchering each oth er There is rio doubt but that there has been one step towards this great namely the Hague Convention High aspirations must be culti vated so that people will yearn for a state of peace For if wo have no mind above war we shall very likely get war Therefore national choice of right alone will hasten the dawn of that day One thing Is euro which is root of all it is to of good will peace ever bo vouchsafed So long as we choose to contend Willi our fellows rather than with our faults and make of our meadows battlefields instead of pastures the sword will still flash barring the gates of peace Hut while the materialism of the modern world refuses the wisdom of the wise and despises the of the simple nothing more will come of it All is vain Hut let this hope become the inspiration of a worldwig endeavour jot Christs Christianity begin to spread and ho actually tried and shall see the throne of vio lence shaken and

Universal Law Hope A BIG TAX Monday May the saw the coming into effect of the new amusement tax levied by the On tario Government on patrons of all places of amusement It is estimated that the tax will pro duce an annual revenue of at least The real mean ing is that the people of Ontario who visit theatres and especially the hundreds of thousands of On tario citizens who in cities and small towns alike go to see the movies vill have to pay the On tario Government half a million dollars a year in taxation in ad dition to the other taxation they are paying While there is no objection from the people against paying the amusement lax there is a prevalent feeling that at least part of the necessity for the im position of this tax is the failure of the government to administer its finances on an economical basis and also its failure to ex act just taxation from some of the wealthy corporations If they had been as anxious to tax these plu tocrats as they are to take toll from the common man in the street there would have been no need for this amusement tax If for example this government levied what they should levy un der the Mining Tax Act on the Canada Copper Company which mines nickel they would take from this company some 1 Spring this year instead of the paltry which they arc actually taking in accordance with the flatrate agreement entered into by Mr Hearst in as Minister of Mines an arrange ment which Mr Hearst admits was not authorized by the legis lature Sam Clark M P P for East Northumberland stated the case in a nutshell when he said The government taxes the poor mail who Wants to see a nickel show and lets the plutocrats of nickel companies off with a song In under tho Conserve- live administration the expendi tures of the province were eight and a half
