"Not nee- a day only nor merely when conTenlcnt, but In our evey thought of God let th-s crjr of our heart Incessantly ascend for the peace of Europe and the world," ray the appeal. The text of the call follows: 'In the divine ordrrtne of events tt ha been given to Ameilran Methodism te develop and occupy the world-parish talmed hy the during; faith of John Wesley when Methodists were a rieeptsml people. The Methodist K.pl-opl church, now firmly planted on every continent of the slobe. most therefore recognise at this crucial period In human affairs Its honorable and reeponslhle relation to all races and conditions of msnklnd.

From the beginning Methodism ha conceived of the king dom of Ood as a universal brotherhood founded In the spirit and teachings of Jesus Christ, with Ood aa One rather. Iove aa the supreme law. and all people and people eligible on eual terms to all 1i benefits tor time and eternity. What ever obscures this vision of the king dom of Ood bar the way to Ita g lorlmi realisation. Tb prayer, -Thy Kingdom Corm,' baa therefor ever been the first petition oa all humj.n tong-uea conse crated by the hallowing of the Father's name. But now. to the horror ot angels aa4 at men. the vision Is for the time lost by the one continent that haa been beyond ail other sanctified by the blood of Christian martyrs, and the vole ot Ood silenced In the councils of ths em bittered nations. Europe Is erurulfed In unutterable woe and the world Is filled with aa agony of dread. Qirlstlan aoldter are dally passing In multitude to Judgment with the blood of fellow Christian an their hands. On every wind tae walla of widowed mothcra and orphaned children are mingled with the groan 1 mangled and dying1 men. Material Wealtk ael at It All. Under such conditions your chief pas tore can he no longer silent, nor can they meet their duty by a perfunctory es hortatten to formal prayer for divine Interposition.

What w do know Is that willing, loving, obedient hearts are the conductor of thee divine force In human affaire. There are enough praying eoula In America to call down a truce on every battle front tf onca they felt the agony of 'Chrlet Intercession. That our eountry I aa yst free front the mad nee of strife should the more move us to Importunate and Increaalng petition that Ood will make III volo ta be everywhere heard ag&ln en land and sea.

Mr. Angell fairly ran into the apeaker' stand to make hi reply. "Nowhere would those speeches have been so welcome as in Oermany," he cried. He declared that Increased arma ments offered no solution of the peace problem. Here are two anxious to keep the peace by each being stronger than the other. This I an Impossible situation. I do not believe that this will be the war that will end war. The mere piling up ot American armament will not help the problem.
