Nfine yearsa ago occurred one of ion the most stupendous events in the 12, history of tihe world. ited I recali the headIines in the bi- )em ilv newspapers of Denver of tbat1 of date: "A-ýustrian Ruler Declares War; ,ry Orders Armies to Invade Serbia". ,îat The world has neyer heen the samne ol- since; neyer can be. à:P "The Day" bad nPrrived; ai days hiave been changed~ as the result of a a fiui catastrophe to civilization. The people seemi-ed to have instinct- res, Lvely cornprehiended the terrible sit- nation, ,as they clamiored for "Ex- w'e tLras" on that occasion; Denver re- 1 (( to the shock of irmed invasion far across the 'vater; people thironged Ithe ,treets g£et, excited, and dis- cussed 'ver in knots and clusters; Lnd speculatedj on the probable victors, and woridered what the influence on Amuerica and the world would be. IY;j Everybodly seemed to thiink that Ger- md miny was back of Ausitria, and in was the great danger of ai Austria's move on Serbia; 'veIl sur- jmising it meant a Enropean con- hY flict that -\ýould ingulf ahl the coun- tries of that continent. lI, The iast dlecade hias been one ofi the miost important an:d eventful in ail historypehaps the most sig- ,,nificant of wbicb '%ve have a record, ~if that whicb marked the begin- nings of Christianity is excepted. ýd Lives, property, ambitions, ideas, nations, 'vere burned up in that ter- rt ible bolacaust wbicb broke out on ~July 28, 1914. For a century or ,dmore the world will be paying the cost, perbaps even long-er. îNine years ago onfly the very keen- est of students of bîstory and world is conditions even dreamed that the Unitedi States -would become in'voiv- k ed. A few ohservers predicted a 60 . lays war, witb Germany dictating !I peace in Paris by October at the latest. But such did not then sus- ýn ýne-t thalt Great Dritain would be drawn into the conflict, and that 0-France miight escape by surrenderipg to the supposed invincible Gernmn Armiy and Navy. Theyl had not reckoned on Great Britain, Yet four )dJ years later foundf 4,000,000 of men J eadlocked ars the breast of iiFrance, a deadlock broken oniy wben thie flower of Amnerican vouth -was 1;flung across "No Man's Land", agtntthe enemny. Shaîl another such"dy as feu 1 IS upon the date of July 28, 1914, be permitte d to threaten civilization hagain and camiplete the -work of (le- vaýstation then begun? a N~ot if the thouzghts and aspira- tions of miankind aire directed to- t!ward peace inistead of conflict. Not if the old-time philosophy of miight makes rigbht can bc changed, and C force be supplanted by reason. Not if 'var can be deposed and law exaît- ed. As a remindier of' the fearful price men pay for war, to-day has been designated as "Law-niot War" day, by the National Council for# the Prevenition of 'War. We bave suc}i ?a organization lhere, 'incd their in- fluen4ce is heing, felt througbout the nation. It is bMng obse-rved in nearly everv state and city of the nation, and no0 war demonstrations J iltanke place, besidles, i nearly a score Of nations. ,~Millions of people will he led to concentrate their miental' power ag-ainst war, against another "Day'. Can such a spiritùal opposition to force and mnigbt, feul to hiave a bene-1 ficial effeet? The moral energyv ofl millions of minds and consciences 'wiii be sel in motion against 'var, and al] over the world tbough-lts vwill be stýim-ulated i ad ideals epi-hasizedi wicb 'v ill advance the éause of Law,' love and peace. And in1 this coun- try speakers who believe that Christ- ianity is practioal; that only by strug-glng- towards the dreami of comimon brotberhood, can men elevate themiselves above the plane of selfilh- neses; that nations as well as individ. uals must display faith, hope and charity, 'vili point out the respon- sibility of Amierica towards preservu- ing- the world peace for which she foug;ht, and urge the support of the world court, nd cisuch othler instru-- mients of reason and right as have U- been erected to make 'ar an out- cast and makze Law supremie. "Lawý-Not War"; it stands f or the golden rule among nations. Not to the past, but to the future, a do I look, for the Saturnian age, h1d' 'when the denions of need and greedl bai 'viii be eeo'rcised, when love 'viii bh a ( the universal iaw, and the father- we hood of God the only faith.
