Washington, Jnn. 0. President Wil ton yesterday, addressing congress, de livered n restatement of wnr nlms In agreement with the recent declaration by tho British premier, .David Lloyd George. The president spoko as follows: "Gentlemen of the Congress: Once tnore, as repeatedly heforc, the spokes men of the central empires have Indi cated their desire to discuss the ob jects of the war and the posslblo basis of a general peace. "Parleys have been In progress at Brest-LItovsk between representatives of the central powers to which the attention of nil the belligerents has been Invited, for the purpose of ascer taining whether It may bo posslblo to extend these parleys Into a general conference with regard to terms of peace and settlement. Presented Definite Statement "The Itusslan representatives pre sented not only n perfectly definite statement of tho principles upon which they would bo willing to conclude peace, but also an equally definite pro gram of the concrete application of those principles. "The representatives of tho central powers, on their part, presented an outline of settlement which, If much lens definite, seemed susceptible of lib eral Interpretation until their specific program of practical terms wns added. "The program 'proposed no conces Blons nt nil, cither to sovereignty of Russia or to the preferences of the population with whose fortunes it dealt, but meant, In a word, that the central empires were to keep every foot of territory their armed forces had occupied every province, every city, every point of vnntnge as a perma nent addition to their territories nnd their power. It Is a reasonable con jecture that the general principles of eettlement which they nt first suggest ed originated with tho more liberal etntesmen of Gcrmnny nnd Austria, the men who have begun to feel the force of their own people's thought and purpose, while the concrete terms of actual settlement enmc from tho military leaders, who have no thought but to keep what they have got. Tlfe negotiations have been broken off. Full of Significance. "Tho Itusslan representatives were sincere nnd In earnest. They cannot entertain such proposals of conquest end domination. "Tho whole Incident Is full of sig nificance. It is also full of perplexity. With whom are the Itusslan represent atives dealing? For whom are the rep resentatives of tho central empires speaking? Aro they speaking for the majorities of their respective parlia ments or for tho minority pnrtles, that military and Imperialistic minority which has sovfnr dominated their policy nnd controlled tho affairs of s Turkey nnd of tho Bnlknn states which have felt obliged to becomo their asso ciates In this war? "Tho Itusslan representatives have Insisted, very Justly, very wisely, nnd In the true spirit of democracy, tha.t tho conferences they hnvo been hold ing with tho Teutonic and Turkish statesmen should bo held within open, not closed, doors, nnd all the world has been audience as wns desired. To whom have wo been -listening then? To those who speak tho spirit nnd In tention of the resolutions of tho Ger man reichstng on tho 0th of July lnst, tho spirit and Intention of tho liberal .lenders nnd parties of Germany, or to those who resist nnd defy tlint Bplrlt and Intention and Insist upon conquest 'and subjugation? Or uro wo listening In fact to both unreconciled nnd In open and hopeless contradiction? These are very serious nnd progpant questions. World Peace at Stake. "Upon the answer to thfcin depends tho peace of tho world. "But whatever the results of the par leys at Brest-LItovsk, whatever the confusions of counsel and of purpose In the utterances of tho spokesmen of the central empires, they have again attempted to acquaint tho world with their objects In tho war and hnvo gain challenged their adversaries to wy what their objects aro and what art of settlement they would deem -just nnd satisfactory. "Tnero Is no good reason why that challenge should not bo responded to nd responded to with tho utmost can 4or. We did not wait for It Not once, but again and again we have laid our 'Whole thought and purpose beforo the world, not In general terms only, but each time with sufficient definition to JBake It dear what sort of deflnltlvo iterms of settlement mast necessarily spring out of theuv "Within tho last week Mr. Lloyd Gcorgo has spoken wlh admirable can dor and In admirable spirit for tho peo ple and government of Great Britain. There Is no confusion of counsel among tho adversaries of the central powers, no uncertainty of principle, no vagueness of detail. "Tho only secrecy of counsel, the only Inck of fearless frankness, tho only fnlluro to make definite statement of the objects of tho war, lies with Germany nnd her allies. "The Issues of llfo and death hang upon these definitions. No statesman who has the least conception of his re sponsibility ought for ajnoment to per mit himself to continue this tragical and appalling outpouring of blood nnd treasure unless ho Is sure beyond a peradventuro that tho objects of the vital sacrifice arc port and parcel of the very Jlfe of society and thnt the people for whom he speaks think them right and Imperative us he does. 'Where is, moreover, n voice calling for these definitions of principle and purpose which Is, It seems to me, more thrilling and more compelling than any of the many moving voices with which the troubled nlr of the world Is filled. It Is the voice of the Itusslan people. They are prostrate and all but helpless, it would seem, before the grim power of Germany, which has hitherto known no relenting and no pity. Russ Power Shattered. "Their power apparently Is shat tered, and yet their soul is not sub servient. They will not yield either In principle or In action. The conception of what Is right, of what It Is humane nnd honorable for them to accept, has been stated with n frankness, a laige ness of view, a generosity of spirit and a universal human sympathy which must challenge the admiration of every friend of mankind; and they refused to compound their Ideals or de sert others that they themselves may be safe. "They call to us to say what It Is that we desire, In what, if In anything, our purpose and our spirit differ from theirs; and I believe that the people of the United Stntes would wish me to respond with utter simplicity and frankness. "Whether their present lenders be lieve It or not, It Is our heartfelt de sire and hope that somo way may be opened whereby we may be privileged to assist the people of Russia to ut tuln their utmost hopo of liberty and ordered ponce. No Secret Understandings. "It will be our wish and purpose that tho processes of pence, when they nre begun, shall bo absolutely open and that they shall Involve and permit henceforth no secret understandings of any kind. The day of conquest and aggrandizement Is gone by; so Is also the day of Becret covenants entered In to In tho Interest of particular govern ments and likely nt some unlooked-for moment to upset tho peace of the world. "It Is this happy fact, now clear to tho view of every public man whose thoughts do not still linger In an uge that Is dead and gone, which makes it possible for every nation whose pur poses are consistent with Justlco nnd tho pence of tho world to avow now or at any other time the objects It has in view. "We entered this wnr because vio lations of right had occurred which touched us to the quick and made the llfo of our own people Impossible un less they were corrected nnd the world secured once for all against their re currence. "What we. demand In this war, there fore Is nothing pecullnr to ourselves. "It Is that tho world be mnde lit and safe to live In; nnd particularly that It be made safo for every peace-loving nation which, like our own, wish to live Us own life, determine Its own Institutions, he assured of Justlco nnd fair dealing by the other peoples of the world us against force and selfish ag gression. -All the peoples of tho world nre In effect partners In this Interest, and for our own part we see very clear ly that unless Justice bo done to oth ers It will not bo done to us. "The program of the world's peace, therefore, Is our program, and that program, tho only possible program, us we see It, is this: Wants Open Covenants. 1. Open covenants of pence, openly arrived at, after which there shall be no private International understand ings of any kind, but diplomacy shall proceed always frankly and In the pub lic view. 2. Absoluto freedom of navigation upon the seas, oufsldo territorial win ters, alike In peace nnd In wnr, except as the sens may be closed In whole or In pnrt by international nctlon for the enforcement of International cove nants. ft. Tho removal, so far as posslblo, of all economic barriers und the estab lishment of nn equality of trade con ditions among all the nntlons consent ing to the penco nnd nssoclatlng them selves for Its maintenance., 4. Adequate guaranties given and ta ken that national armaments will bo reduced to tho lowest point consistent with domestic safety. 5. A free, open-minded nnd absolute ly Impartial adjustment of all colonial claims, based upon a strict observance of the prlnclplo that In determining all such questions of sovereignty tho In terests of tho populations concerned must hnvo equal weight with tho equit able claims of tho government whose title Is to bo determined. Must Evacuate Russia. 0. Tho evacuation of all Russian ter ritory and such a settlement of all questions affecting Russia as will so euro the best and freest co-operation of tho other nations of the world In obtaining for her an unhampered and unembarrassed opportunity for the In dependent determination of ber wa political development and nnttcnnJ pol icy nnd nssuro her of a sincere wel como Into tho society of frco nntlons under Institutions of her own choos ing; and, more than n welcome, as sistance also of every kind that sho may need and may herself desire. Tho treatment accorded Russia by her sis ter nations in tho months to come will be the acid test of their good will, of their comprehension of her needs as distinguished from their own interests, and of their Intelligent and unselfish sympathy. 7. Belgium, tho wholo world will agree, must be evacuated nnd restored, without nny attempt to limit tho sov ereignty which sho enjoys in common with all other free nations. No other single net will serve ns this will servo to restore confidence among the na tions In the laws which they have themselves set nnd determined for tho government of their relations with one another. Without this healing net tho whole structure nnd validity of inter national law Is forever Impaired. Must Free France. , a. All French territory should be freed and the Invaded portions re stored and the wrong done to France by Prussia In 1871 In the matter of Alsace-Lorraine, which has unsettled the peace of the world for nearly fifty years, should be righted In order that peace may once more be made secure In tho Interest of nil. 0. A readjustment of nil frontiers of Itnly should be effected along clear ly recognizable lines of nationality. 10. The peoples of Austria-Hungary, whose place among the nations wo wish to see safeguarded and assured, should he accorded the freest opportu nity of autonomous development. Evacuate Balkans. 11. Itoumaula, Serbia and -Montenegro should be evacuated; occupied territories restored; Serbia accorded free and secure access to the sea; und the relations of the several Balkan states to one another determined by friendly counsel along historically es tablished lines of allegiance and na tionality; and international guaranties of the political and economic indepen dence and territorial Integrity of the several Balkan stntes should he en tered Into. l- Tho Turkish portions of tho present Ottomnn Empire should be ns sured a secure sovereignty, but tho other nationalities which nre now un der Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life nnd nn ab solutely unmolested opportunity of au tonomous development, nnd tho Darda nelles should bo permanently opened ns a free pnssage to tho ships and commerce of nil nntlons under Inter national guaranties. 13. An Independent Polish state should ho erected which should Includo the territories Inhabited by Indisput able Polish populations, which should bo assured a free and secure access to the sen nnd whose political and eco nomic Independence nnd territorial In tegrity should bo guaranteed by Inter national covennnt 14. A general association of na tions must be formed under Bpeclflc covennnts for the purpose of nffordlng mutual guaranties of political Indepen dence nnd territorial Integrity to great and small stntes alike. "In regard to these essential rectifi cations of wrong nnd assertions of right wo feel ourselves to bo Intlmnto partners of nil the governments nnd peoples nssoclnted together against tho Imperialists. Wo cannot bo separated In Interest or divided In purpose. Wo stand together until tho end. . "For such arrangements nnd cov enants wo aro willing to fight nnd to continue to fight until they nro achiev ed ; bufonly becnuse wo wish tho right to prevail and deslro n Just nnd stable penco such as can be secured only by removing tho chief provocations to wnr, which this program does remove. Not Jealous of Germany. "Wo hnvo no Jealousy of German greatness nnd thcro Is nothing In this program that Impairs It. We grudge her no achievement or distinction of learning or of pnclflc enterprise such ns hnvo mado her record very bright and very envlnblo. "Wo do not wish to Injure her or to block In nny way her legitimate In fluence or power. "We wish her only to accept n pfneo of equnllty among tho peoples of tho world tho now world In which we now live Instend of q placo of mas tery. "Neither do we presume to suggest to her any alteration or modification of her Institutions. But It Is necessnry, wo must frankly sny, nnd necessnry as a preliminary to any Intelligent deal ings with her on our pnrt, thnt wo should know whom her spokesmen speak for when they spenk to us, whether for tho relchstag majority or for the mllltnry party, and tho men whoso creed Is imperial dominion. Fight for Honor. "Wo hnvo spoken now, surely, In terms too concrete to admit of any fur ther doubt or question. An evident prlnclplo runs through the whole pro gram I have outlined. "It Is the prlnclplo of Justlco to nil peoples nnd nationalities, and their right to live on equal terms of liberty nnd snfety with ono another, whether they bo strong or weak. Unless this principle bo made Its foundation no part of tho structuro of International Justlco can stand. The people of the United States could act upon no other principle, and to tho vindication of this principle they aro ready to de voto their lives, their honor and every thing that they posses. "The moral climax of this, the cul minating and final war for human lib erty has como, and they are ready to put their strength, their own highest purpose, their own Integrity and devc tioa to the test" mnovEi umroiM rami! atioru SMfSum lESSOH (By a O.

INTERMEDIATE TOPIC Tho power and pympathy of Jesus. i MEMORY VERSE-Oal. 6:2. SENIOR AND ADULT TOPIC-Jesut meeting human needs. At tho risk of repetition wo will onco more cnll attention to the new plan of Sunday-school lessons. Its character istics aro: First, tho uniform teaching. A general lesson title nnd the same general Scripture passages ns tho bnsls of study for nil grades. Ono Golden text for nil, although frequently n de votional Scripture lesson nnd particu lar text which 1b Intended for tho opening worship of the school or for departments of tho school, with addi tional scriptural material for the uso of teachers of tho various grades. Second, tho grades nnd ages. Tho grades recognized nro: Prlmnry, pupils from six to eight Inclusive; Junior, nlno to eleven or twelve inclusive; Inter mediate boys nnd girls, twelvo or thir teen to seventeen inclusive; senior or young people, eighteen to twenty-four; ndults, twenty-five nnd upwards. Be ginners nro not included in theso les sons, as they hnvo been provided for In tho beginners' lessons of the graded courses. Third, tho graded teachers. Different lesson topics or titles as ndaptcd to the different grades. Again, memory verses for tho various grades. Additional scriptural material Intended especially for tho graded lesson wri ters nnd teachers. Sometimes the les son text for a certain grade Is simply a small portion of tho uniform or gen eral Scrlpturo passngo for that day. Tho first six months of this year will bo devoted to the Gospel of Mark. Every syllable will bo covered during tho course. Then thcro Is to bo a three months course of study In tho Chris tian llfo on such vital topics as: Tho Beginning of a Christian Life, Beading God's Word, Fraying to God, Obeying God, Growing Stronger, Speaking for Christ, Conquering Evil, etc., appar ently disconnected, but really a vitally related course on topics dealing with Christian living. The Lesson for Today. I. The Man of the Unclean Spirit (vr. 21-27). Jesus was teaching In tho synagogue, and tho results were far different from thoso In Capernaum or Nazareth. (SeoTuke 4:10-30.) But as always, evil is present with good, and evil always recognizes true piety, henco thoso present recognized that a God-cent man with a God-given mes sage was speaking. Sunday-school teachers should also speak with au thority, for wo aro as "tho oracles of God.M (I Peter 4:11.) Notice Christ's power over spiritual evil. (w. 23-27.) Demonlncal possession, we are told, Is qulto common today In China and other heathen lands. Tho terror of this de mon at tho words of Christ may sug gest how evil men will feel when Christ shall como again. As always, evil desires to bo "let alone," but Christ would not let him alono. The demon did not want to come out, but ho was helpless before the power of Christ and had to come, and in coming be mado himself so felt thnt tho people were "all amazed." Neither1 astonlshj ment nor amazement, however, is con version. II. Peter's Mother-ln-Law (vr. 28-84. In this next scene wo hnvo ono of tho homes wherein Jesus manifested his power over physical or bodily illness. Notice Christ was abiding with his own loved ones. Here is an example on the part of Christ of how to do per tonal work. Also nn example and a testimony that service is a testimony of gratitude. Tho fact thnt this ono was healed and that sho began ut once to serve, Is also a testimony to tho fact of the cure. There was sickness In that home, not "error of mortal mind," and they did what was best brought the sick ono to Jesus. Again In verso 80 Is this keyword of Mark's Gospel, "straightway." Jesus could heal at a dlstanco (John 4:50-53), but ho liked to como straight up to the (filleted one. Notlco he took her by tho band. This, too, Is a lesson for us. The gospel of a handclasp is too often neglected. Tho "tuklng-by-the-hnnd" rollgioa is much needed in our churches today. Notice ho also "raised her up." People need to bo lifted to day. It Is not enough to command them to rise; we must ulso help them to arise. Then it was that "the fever left her." Sickness, as well as de mons, gave way before tho Lord. The concluding scene of this day (w. C2-35) is remarkable and presents a vivid and beautiful picture. "At even when the sun did set" (v. 32) they brought unto him "all" that were dis eased. While all wero gathered at the door, not all wero healed, for the rec ord says, "many were healed." We read, "many aro called, but few cho sen." All that city was gathered that eventldo about Peter's door (v. 23), but the sad part of It was that not all received the healing touch of Christ They had had a wonderful Sabbath day. They had seen proof of ths bower of the Master.
