PEACE SERVICE IS IMPRESSIVE
TFrom Hot Springs Ark., New Era,
Oct. 1.
The spectacle of thousands of rev
erent persons, with uncovered heads
and earnest hearts, joining with Wil
liam Jennings Bryan, the world's
greatest peace advocate, in a prayer
and song for peace, and repeating af
ter him tho Lord's prayer, on an em
inence of Hot Springs mountain, was
one of the greatest features of the
Presbyterian Church Efficiency Con
gress which closed today.
At noon the crowd gathered on
the mountainside near the Army and
Navy hospital, listened attentively to
the most earnest plea for peace Mr.
Bryan made during his day in Hot
Springs, joined their voices m a hymn
that made the mountainside Ting with
sacred melody, and at the close re
peated the words of the Lord's pray
er after Mr. Bryan's lead.
It was one of the most unique and
impressive peace services ever held in
Hot Springs, or perhaps at any other
place or time.
Dr. James J2. Clarke introduced
Mr. Bryan at, the opening of the ser
vice and he made an earnest and
telling plea, first for peace between
the United States and other countries,
and second, bewteen all the countries
of the world.
