ON THE DAWN OF PEACE 
(Continued from Page 17.) 
last argument of kings? Force, 
cannon, war. But what is the last 
argument of the King of kings? It 
is love. Love is the only irresistible 
force in the world. This will bring 
peace. And instead of the words of 
the anthem ‘The army and the navy 
forever,’ with a higher patriotism 
born of our divine citizenship in 
heaven, let us go forth with the song 
‘Jesus shall reign where’er the sun 
shall his successive journeys run, 
His Kingdom stretch from shore to 
shore, till moons shall wax and wane 
no more.’ 
‘And let us pray that come it may 
And come it will for a’ that 
That man to man shall brothers be 
O’er all the world for a’ that.’ 
**T shall mention only four signs 
of progress: 
‘First, the unique celebration of 
the fiftieth anniversary of the battle 
of Bull Run, which was made the oc- 
casion, by addresses, of glorifying 
not war but peace, and when hun- 
dreds of old soldiers who had taken 
part in that first bloody battle of 
the war met in friendliness and, 
forming in double lines, facing each 
other, the Blue looking south and 
the Gray looking north, with out- 
stretched hands advanced to meet 
each other and stood with clasped 
hands for five minutes pledging 
eternal friendship. If America, why 
may not Germany and France clasp 
at Sedan and Russia and Japan on 
the plains of the Yalu. 
‘“‘The next sign of progress is the 
near celebration of the Hundred 
Years Peace between England and 
the United States. At the close of 
the war of 1812 we had forty-six 
forts on the United States side of 
the Canadian boundary, matched by 
about the same number on the Ca- 
nadian side, besides fleets of war 
By mutual agreement these 
vessel removed, which was kept to 
do police duty. And in 1914 we are

with our nearest neighbor, why can 
we not do it with nations 3,000 miles 
away? And if we can do it a hun- 
dred years, why can we not do it 
perpetually ? 
‘‘The third sign of progress is the 
assurance from Washington of the 
probable organization in the near 
future of an International Court of 
Arbitral Justice. When that comes, 
‘The war drums will cease to throb 
And the battle flags be furled 
In the Parliament of man 
In the Federation of the world.’ 
‘‘And the crowning hope of all is 
in the new peace pact proposed by 
President Taft to Earl Grey, binding 
Kngland and America: in perpetual 
peace. The President of the United 
States has the highest national 
honor that can be conferred, but he 
has risen to international honor by 
proposing an unlimited treaty of 
arbitration forever binding these 
two great nations to submit all con- 
troversies between them to judicial 
settlement. To my own vision there 
occurs something fairer than the 
Stars and Stripes, and that is the 
Stars and Stripes on a white back- 
ground—the emblem of peace. If 
this treaty is ratified, as seems 
likely, France and the Netherlands 
have already signified their desire 
to make similar treaties, and Ger- 
many and other nations may be ex- 
pected to follow. That will be the 
knell of war and the dawn of the 
new day 
‘When all men’s good shall 
Be each man’s rule, and a universal peace 
Lie like a shaft of light across the land 
And like a lane of beams across the sea 
Through all the circle of the golden 
years.’ 
‘‘Blessed are the peacemakers.’’ 
But in the mud and scum of things 
There always, always, something sings. 
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

into consideration.
