[*TO SERVE THE PRESENT AGE*] THE GREAT PHYSICIAN And Jesus went about all Galilee . . . . healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.—Matthew 4:23. METHODIST HOSPITALS CHRIST'S suffering on the Cross has given the world its inspiration for the ministry of mercy and relief. His example in healing the sick and relieving the suffering is the incentive of the 192 hospitals and homes for the aged and children conducted by the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. They are related to the church at large through the Board of Hospitals and Homes and Deaconess Work, with headquarters at 740 Rush Street, Chicago. Scattered throughout the land will be found these institutions of kindly helpfulness, always waiting and eager to care for the sick and the dying, the needy and the suffering. In them Christ is glorified through the healing of human bodies, the quieting of disturbed minds and the quickening of the spiritual life Last year 240,000 patients were cared for in Methodist hospitals! What a magnificent ministry it is. No movement in our great church is making greater progress than our Methodist hospital program. Not only are they increasing in number faster than those of any other denomination probably, but their standards are so high and their efficiency is so splendid that they are recognized as among the best in the world. These figures give only an idea of the greatness of the Methodist Hospital movement, yet they are significant: Number of hospitals .............. 79 Value of property .........................$31,136,740 Endowment ..................................$ 4,560,935 Number of beds ....................... 7,532 Number of nurses in training .... 2,801 The Methodist Episcopal Church began its hospital movement in the United States in 1881 with the establishment of a hospital in Brookyln. Now in the 79 hospitals approximately 10,000 children are born in the maternity departments, while each year, 12,000 orthopedic cases receive surgical care and treatment. Methodist hospitals educate 3,200 undergraduate nurses annually, taking 1,200 new pupil nurses each year. To a Nurse To be a nurse is To walk with God Along the path that Our Master trod, To soothe the achings Of human pain, To faithfully serve For little gain, To lovingly do The kindly deed A cup of water, To one in need, A tender hand on A fevered brow, A word of cheer to The living now, To teach the soul through Its body's woe, Ah! this is the way that Jesus would go. O white capped girls in Dresses of blue Our great Physician's Working through you! —Mrs. A. H. Lawrence. Over 5,000 young women have entered our Methodist Episcopal hospital training schools during the last four years. Most of them are high school graduates, while many have received college training. From the viewpoint of the institutions, it is of the greatest moment that the highest type and most perfectly equipped young women shall be secured. For the young women themselves, there is an ever-expanding and increasingly important life of service, full of the richest human values. There is a constant demand for hospital superintendents, supervisors, matrons and others. High-grade executives are always wanted. What greater opportunity is there for life service than this? Nursing as a field of women is unparalleled in its opportunities for personal service. It affords more than a means of livelihood, and its rewards are greater than professional promotion. Through her personal service and instruction to others the graduate nurse not only restores health and decreases suffering, but literally gives life more abundantly to thousands of her fellow beings. Young women who are interested should communicate with the Board of Hospitals and Homes and Deaconess Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 740 Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois. $1,000,000 GIVEN AWAY! HOSPITAL service worth more than one million dollars—$1,064,836 to be exact—was given away by the Methodist Episcopal hospitals of America last year. It represents a substantial part of the total service rendered to the public. Just as much loving care and efficient treatment were given to these who came without the ability to pay as to those who were able to meet charges in full. If the 4,000,000 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church might take a tour of the cities and towns where their hospitals are located they would see sights that would inspire them. They would realize that the high standards of the hospitals mean the finest care possible to the sick, while the open doors manifest the spirit of Christ in his loving invitation "whosoever will may come." Into the dispensaries of the city hospitals come the wayfarers of the streets, men and women who are lost to their families and who keep all secrets hid; persons who have lost hope as well as friends; needy children of the tenements; overburdened mothers and crippled fathers; and hosts of other unfortunates who seek a friendly hand as well as relief from bodily suffering.

Wells paid he a glowing tribute in "The Independent", in which he declared: "Certainly it would be difficult to find a purely white woman more level headed and capable than that admirable public speaker, Mrs. Mary Church Terrell". We have had to bid farewell to our friends the Misses Etta and Leona Reinhart who left us to go to Chicago. Both are deservant of the highest commendation for their loyalty to the church. Faithful in the choir, always true to their every obligation and never withholding the best of which they were capable. We wish them God speed in their work in Chicago with the assurance that they will always find a welcome back to to the church they so loyally served.

THE GREAT PHYSICIAN And Jesus went about all Galilee . . . . healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.—Matthew 4:23. METHODIST HOSPITALS CHRIST'S suffering on the Cross has given the world its inspiration for the ministry of mercy and relief. His example in healing the sick and relieving the suffering is the incentive of the 192 hospitals and homes for the aged and children conducted by the Methodist Episcopal Church in the United States. They are related to the church at large through the Board of Hospitals and Homes and Deaconess Work, with headquarters at 740 Street, Chicago. Scattered throughout the land will be found these institutions of kindly helpfulness, always waiting and eager to care for the sick and the dying, the needy and the suffering. In them Christ is glorified through the healing of human bodies, the quieting of disturbed minds and the quickening of spiritual life. Last year 240,000 patients were cared for in Methodist hospitals! What a magnificent ministry it is. No movement in our great church is making greater progress than our Methodist hospital program. Not only are they increasing in number faster than those of any other denomination probably, but their standards are so high and their efficiency is so splendid that they are recognized as among the best in the world. These figures five only an idea of the greatness of the Methodist Hospital movement, yet they are significant: Number of hospitals ................. 79 Value of property.......................$31,136,740 Endowment ...............................$ 4,560,935 Number of Beds ....................... 7,532 Number of nurses in training ............. 2,801 The Methodist Episcopal Church began its hospital movement in the United States in 1881 with the establishment of a hospital in Brooklyn. Now in the 79 hospitals approximately 10,000 children are born in the maternity departments, while each year 12,000 orthopedic cases receive surgical care and treatment. Methodist hospitals educate 3,200 undergraduate nurses annually, taking 1,200 new pupil nurses each year. To a Nurse To be a nurse is A tender hand on To walk with God A fevered brow, Along the path that A word of cheer to Our Master trod, The living now, To Soothe the achings To teach the soul through Of human pain, Its body's woe, To faithfully serve Ah! this is the way that For little gain, Jesus would go. To lovingly do O white capped girls in The kindly deed, Dresses of blue, A cup of water, Our great Physician's To one in need, Working through you! —Mrs. A. H. Lawrence. Over 5,000 young women have entered our Methodist Episcopal hospital training schools during the last four years. Most of them are high school graduates, while many have received college training. From the viewpoint of the institutions, it is of the greatest moment that the highest type and most perfectly equipped young women shall be secured. For the young women themselves, there is an ever-expanding and increasingly important life of service, full of the richest human values. There is a constant demand for hospital superintendents, supervisors, matrons and others. High-grade executives are always wanted. What greater opportunity is there for life service than this? Nursing as a field for women is unparalleled in its opportunities for personal service. It affords more than a means of livelihood,and its rewards are greater than professional promotion. Through her personal service and instruction to others the graduate nurse not only restores health and decreases suffering, but literally gives life more abundantly to thousands of her fellow beings. Young women who are interested should communicate with the Board of Hospitals and Homes and Deaconess Work of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 740 Rush Street, Chicago, Illinois. $1,000,000 GIVEN AWAY! HOSPITAL services worth more than one million dollars—$1,064,836 to be exact—was given away by the Methodist Episcopal hospitals of America last year. It represents a substantial part of the total service rendered to the public. Just as much loving care and efficient treatment were given to these who came without the ability to pay as to those who were able to meet charges in full. If the 4,000,000 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church might take a tour of the cities and towns where their hospitals are located they would see sights that would inspire them. They would realize that the high standards of the hospitals mean the finest care possible to the sick, while the open doors manifest the spirit of Christ in his loving invitation "whosoever will may come." Into the dispensaries of the city hospitals come to the wayfarers of the streets, men and women who are lost to their families and who keep all secrets hid; persons who have lost hope as well as friends; needy children of the tenements; overburdened mothers and crippled fathers; and hosts of other unfortunates who seek a friendly hand as well as relief from bodily suffering.

Long have we known thy loving care, Have by thy hand been led, Our joys by thee have been increased. Our sorrows comforted. Long may thy walls a shelter be For countless students here, Who seek thy counsel true and wise, And in thy halls appear, Through future years to thee we'll give A loyal heart and true, our daughters send to know thy care Which daily here we knew. May all thy future days be bright O Alma Mater, dear; And may thy work with grace be crowned Through every passing year.

M. "For all the far outreaching Of Homes where mothers pray, For all their blessed teaching, We bring God thanks to-day." A Cordial Welcome to All, Especially Mothers OBJECT OF MOTHERS; DAY To brighten the lives of our Mothers and to make them more honored, loved and protected by their children. To remind sons and daughters, especially busy, successful men and women, of the unselfish devotion of their mothers, and possibly of their own selfish neglect of their parents. To ask men, women and children to make their mothers fell this May day, that in her children's hearts she is "Queen of the May." HOW TO OBSERVE THE DAY Every man, woman and child who feels that he or she had or has the best Mother that ever lived, is asked to observe the day by wearing a white carnation in honor of his Mother if she is still living, and a pink carnation if she has gone to Heaven, and as a badge of love and loyalty; also to help the observance of the day by giving a white flower to at least one other person. The carnation is preferred if it can be obtained because it is thought to typify Mother Love, its color standing for purity; its flower, beauty; its lasting qualities, faithfulness; its fragrance, love; and its wide growth, charity. Show your Mother some special kindness this day in words of affection and appreciation; by a gift or a visit to her, or by a letter if absent from her. If she be not living, bless the life of some other Mother in memory of her. Attend our morning Church services, where all Mothers will be treated as Guests of Honor and the services will seek to cheer and encourage them, and to admonish children to more love and care of them. Every lady who attends the services will be presented with a flower by the men of the Church. PROGRAMME 11:00 A. M. In Honor of Mother Mr. M. M. Peace, Master of Ceremonies Organ Prelude . . . .

Fathers' Day In Honor of Your Father and Mine--the Best Fathers Who Every Lived "Honor thy father and they mother; which is the first commandment with promise; that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest live long on the earth."-- Eph. 6:2-3. The object of this service is to bring to minds of all sons and daughters the duty and privilege of honoring their fathers, who are often forgotten by many children but without whom, home would be imperfect, the world would be desolate and the Church would be weak--physically and spiritually. When, dear reader, you write mother do not forget father. His heart may not yearn as intensely for you as mother's but he loves you with an heroic love and protected you and mother and sustained both, when you were not able to protect or care for yourself.

"By Cool Siloam's Shady Rill," No. 572 A Season of Prayer for Sick, Aged and Tired Fathers Benediction A BOY'S MOTHER The late James Whitcomb Riley wrote many songs about mothers and children. One of these songs, entitled "A Boy's Mother," tells of a boy who had a full appreciation of all that his mother was. This charming little poem runs along happily as follows: "My mother she's so good to me, Ef I was good as I could be I couldn't be as good--no sir! Can't any boy be good as her! "She loves me when I'm glad or sad; She loves me when I'm good or bad; An' what's a funniest thing, she says She loves me when she punishes. "I don't like her to punish me-- That don't hurt--but it hurts to see Her cryin'. Nen I cry; an' nen We both cry an' be good again.

On its strains His Spirit must have nightly floated free, Though still about his hands he felt his chains, Who heard great "Jordan Roll?"

The children divine her fears and ask, "Mother, is Massa Gonna Sell Us Tomorrow?" Lucile Scott, Margaret Welch, Julia Gaillard and Chorus SCENE II-- Slave Market--Male and female slaves exhibited on the auction block. The aristocracy of the South assembled for the sale. The mother is separated from her children and sold into Georgia-- a fate dreaded by all slaves in sections of Georgia. "The Negro Mother's Lament." Miss Scott and Chorus SCENE III-- Cotton field in Georgia. Slaves--men, women and children at work. As they labor even under the horrible conditions of slavery they sing as the Negro has never ceased to sing under oppression. "Cotton Needs Pickin' So Bad." Slave Workers and Chorus Through sheer exhaustion a female slave is scene by the overseer to be slowing up in her work. When she attempts to explain the cause, he brutally strikes her several blows with a heavy cowhide whip. As she falls a young slave in whose breast a spark of manhood had been enkindled through the instructions of this young mistress jumps to the aid of the fallen woman, but is held in check by his fellow slaves. The wretchedness and utter hopelessness of the slave field worker is expressed in "Nobody Knows de Trouble I See." SCENE IV-- Lawn in front of the "Big House," Miss Priscilla, a real southern noble woman is shown teaching a young slave youth his letters. She points them out from the page of a primer and makes him repeat them after her. She then has him write them from copy she provides. The young slaves works with attention. After the lesson she tells him to conceal the book and to spend all the time he can snatch from his work in the fields studying it. He thanks her profusely, kneeling and kissing the hem of her garment. Page 6 SCENE V-- The slave youth is discovered hoeing and working the garden. The book is hidden under a nearby tree. As he works he picks his chance to run and read over his lesson. In his ecstasy over the gradual mastery of the mysterious symbols of knowledge he clasps the book to his breast, while his petition and hopes are re-echoed in "Let the Heave Light Shine On Me." Chorus SCENE VI-- Slave quarters night--all have retired. A slave moves stealthily among the quarters calling up the sleeping inmates. A prayer meeting has been arranged in the woods. They must steal out to avoid the ever vigilant "padrols." As he passes like a dusky Paul Revere, the slaves slip from their quarters, and make their way through the darkness to the rendezvous. We can feel something of the thrill of the spirit starved slaves as they hear the call and challenge, "Get You Ready, There's a Meeting Here Tonight." Chorus SCENE VII-- Slaves are seen stealthily approaching the place of meeting through the darkness. They come bearing no lights, speaking no word, making not even a gesture of recognition. They come from different directions and gather on the ground around the plantation preacher. In song and in fact they "Steal Away to Jesus." Chorus SCENE VIII-- Crouching on the ground they listen to the precious and comforting words of the Scripture as they fall from the lips of the only one of their member who can read them. After a characteristic prayer forgetful of danger and bodily weariness they burst with a fervor that only the fathers knew, into "Gimme that Ole Time Religion." Chorus SCENE IX-- In the midst of the meeting the alarm is given that the "padrols" are coming. The slaves quickly scatter. When they have gone, two white overseers with lanterns and guns pass through the woods. Page 7 SCENE X- The escaping slaves. The youth whose soul has been awakened by the teachings of his mistress, decides to try the hazardous under-ground railroad that leads to northern friends and freedom. He is seen struggling on through the woods torn and bleeding from briars; broken and weary from hunger and exposure. He no more than passes when the slave trackers with blood hounds follow closely on his trail. He pushes on in faith, believing that he will reach the promise land. For says he, "Didn't My Lord Deliver Daniel." Chorus SCENE XI- The slave arrives a wreck in everything but spirit at a northern station on the under-ground railroad. He is met by a white abolitionist and a colored freeman. They receive him with tender care and succor, and when asked, "How did you feel when you come out of the wilderness, he replies, "Come Leaning on the Lord." William Hogan, Maggie Pierce, John Kelly and Chorus SCENE XII- The prayers of the slaves have been answered, their simple faith rewarded. The aroused conscience of the north has burst with avenging fury upon the South. The blood drawn with the lash has been repaid with blood drawn with the sword. "Oh Freedom." Chorus SCENE XIII- Three years of bitter struggle have passed, and the time has come to set the bondmen free. The Great Emancipator breaks the shackles that hold 4,000,000 souls in a servitude worse than death. Such joy as a few human beings have ever experiences swelled forth from their free bodies and spirits in "Free at Last, Free at Last, I Thank God I'm Free at Last."

Gordon 134 Seaton Place Northwest Phone, North 5083-W. EDITOR: ————————— EDITORIAL. Roger W. Babson, in "Religion and Business" has this to say about the importance of the church school. The Bible School is one of the most valuable institutions existing, Its possibilities are unlimited. Why cannot those of us who are interested in Bible schools frankly return to the practical teachings of Jesus? Why cannot we frankly tell children that they are justified in wanting to be happy, but that the most important thing is to learn what to do in order to be happiest? Statistics teach that a business will be happiest by following the teachings of Jesus; statistics teach that the Golden rule is practical; statistics teach that prayer is a real force with unlimited possibilities, and statistics teach that religion is the greatest of undeveloped resources. "Seek ye first his kingdom, and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you." Were Jesus here to-day, he would never object to the material things about us—The transportation systems, the great buildings, the comforts of home and city. CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR NOTES The C.E. Topic for today is "Lessons in the School of Prayer" — Matt. 18:19; 11;18-22. The meeting will be in charge of the Citizenship Committee and promises to be interesting. On last Sunday, Miss E. Blance Adams lived up to her reputation by having a number of young ladies render a musical and literary program at our C.E. Meeting. These meetings are well are well attended. PRAYER MEETING NOTES. All are welcome to join in our Mid-day Prayer each Wednesday at noon. The Faithful are always present at the Prayer meetings on Thuraday evenings. Some of the few are called to meetings in other parts of the church, but the Lord is in our midst and we know that much is being accomplished. He has promised to hear us. CHURCH NOTES Rev. James H.

ASHLAND PLACE BRANCH BROOKLYN YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION 45 Ashland Place Brooklyn, N. Y. THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS OUR PURPOSE THE PURPOSE of the Association shall be to promote growth in Christian character and service through physical, social, mental and spiritual training of young women; to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God. YWCA TWENTY YEARS OF SERVICE The Brooklyn Y.W.C.A. was one of the first in the country to organize for colored girls and women. Twenty years ago under the guidance of that revered Pastor, Rev. A. J. Henry, a group of women presented to the Board of Directors of Brooklyn Y.W.C.A. the needs for Association work among our girls. In July 1903 the building at 112 Lexington Avenue was begun. Under devoted volunteer and professional leadership the work grew until even an enlarged building could not meet the needs and its increasing program. At last in 1919 the present large well equipped building was secured and dedicated to the spirit of Christian Service. As a social center for practical cooperation and friendship, a real home to the hundred of girls who have lived here, a place for wholesome recreation for securing employment and for varied educational and inspirational activities, it strives increasingly to unite in high ideals of Christian womanhood and service an increasing number of our girls and women.

F., No. 201, 1403 H Street, Washington, D. C. (It is suggested that you get in touch with the chairman of the particular committee in which you are interested). The Annual Meeting of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom opened at 10 a. m. Friday, April 18, 1922, at the Grace Dodge Hotel. Miss Addams reported on the international office. She particularly stressed the fine work done by the summer school at Salzburg, Austria, held after the International Congress at Vienna. She said that the school had proved successful financially, not only paying for itself, but leaving a surplus in the treasury of about $300, and that the plans have been made for three similar schools this year-one in Germany, one in Varese, Italy, and one in England. Miss Addams spoke of the League of Nations, pointing out that while women were represented on its committees they should have a larger representation, and said Miss Balch believed it important for women to make their influence felt at Geneva. Miss Addams also reported a suggestion from Miss Balch that the W. I. L. take some action regarding the Spanish Moroccan war and the war between Turkey and Greece. In the opinion of Miss Addams a commission similar to the one sent by the League into Silesia should be sent to look into conditions in Greece. Miss Addams read an appeal from the women of the Ukraine asking that resolutions from these women demanding the independence of the Ukraine be passed by various women's organizations. She also told of a manifesto issued by the League which had been put into the hands of Lloyd George by Miss Marshall, an English member of the W. I. L. Lloyd George had invited Miss Marshall to visit him and outline to him the policies and activities of women's organizations of the present day. A suggested plan from Miss Balch for the financing of the international office was then spoken of, and it was urged that assistance be given the international office by members of the U. S. Section. Mrs. Villard, who attended the meeting at the invitation of the Executive Board, here spoke enthusiastically of her experience in Munich in an anti-war movement having for its slogan " Never, never again war." Miss Zonia Baber, of Chicago, who had recently been in Spain, and who while there bad looked into the possibilities of organizing a branch of the W. I. L., reported that she found great enthusiasm for peace. She stated that by "everyday" people in Spain the Moroccan war was attributed to greed for copper mines. Mrs. Robinson, of England, reported on the W. I. L. Committee Dealing with Finance and Organization of International Conferences. She stated that although enough money had been raised to finance the first two Congresses held in Europe by the League, Miss Balch, the International Secretary, anticipated difficulty in financing a third Congress and was most anxious that the various groups in the United States and abroad should stimulate membership in the International Section, thereby helping to raise the necessary money for these Congresses. Mrs. Robinson reported that Miss Balch is endeavoring to secure funds from the Carnegie Foundation with which to found a school of Internationalism to be connected with a school of Philanthropy already organized in Geneva. On motion of Miss Addams it was voted that a Committee on International Finance be appointed from National Section of the League. The Treasurer here read her report as follows: For the period November 1, 1921, to April 30, 1922 RECEIPTS. Balance, November 1, 1921 . . . $391.17 Membership . . . 661.74 Social Contributions and Pledges . . . 1,692.06 Contributions . . . 842.09 Other Receipts . . . 322.90 Total Receipts . . . 3,909.96 DISBURSEMENTS.

Sort reports from local organizations were read. Miss Boynton reported for Chicago; Miss Cheever for Boston; Miss Beachboard, for Philadelphia; Mrs. DuBois for New Jersey and Mrs. Roberts for Milwaukee. At the suggestion of the chairman, Mrs. Odell, it was voted that telegrams be sent to Miss Ellen Winsor and her sister, Mrs. Evans, stating that the W. I. L. sympathized with them and upheld them in their action in distributing postals to be sent to President Harding in the cause of amnesty, for which they had been arrested and held in $500 bail. These telegrams were sent. Miss Addams submitted a resolution urging the Government not only to release political prisoners but to suppress the dangerous tendency to lawlessness ness on the part of officers charged with the administration of the law. Miss Lucy Branham told of the work done by the Committee for the Recognition of Soviet Russia, of which committee Mrs. Walter Cope of Philadelphia is Chairman, Miss Winsor, Treasurer and Miss Branham Executive Secretary. It was reported Senator France had introduced a bill advocating the establishment of trade relations between the United States and Russia. Miss Branham asked cooperation from the members of the League in the work she was doing. At the afternoon session Miss Madeline Z. Doty spoke of her work in the producing of motion pictures, showing economic conditions abroad, these pictures to be used as propaganda against war. On motion of Miss Mary Winsor it was voted that the W. I. L. endorse Miss Doty's project and that wherever possible, in order to help with this work, that the members of the W. I. L. advocate the use of these films.* The remainder of the session was taken up with a discussion of the League's Constitution. A copy of the adopted Constitution is herewith enclosed. On the evening of Saturday, April 29th, a most interesting dinner was held in honor of Mrs. Annot Robinson and Mlle. Pottecher-Arnould. The speakers included Mrs. Daley of South Dakota, a candidate for governor of that state; Miss Dasgupta of India, who spoke on the Non-cooperation Movement in India; Miss Bertha Lutz of Brazil, a delegate to the Pan-American Conference of Women; Mr. Frederic Howe; Mrs. Kate O'Hare and Mr. Rafael Mallan. On Saturday morning, April 29th, the following members of the Executive Board were elected by the Hare system of proportional representation: Mrs. Geo. T. Odell, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Geo. M. Mathes, Ill.; Mrs. Henry Leach, New York; Mrs. Allen Roberts, Wisconsin; Miss Ellen Winsor, Pennsylvania; Mrs. Harriet Connor Brown, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Louis F. Post, Washington, D. C.; Miss Helen Cheever, Massachusetts; Mrs. Lucia Ames Mead, Massachusetts; Miss Ella Boynton, Ill.; Dr. Alice Hamilton, Massachusetts. A discussion of a pledge not to take part in future wars as a test of membership took place. Miss Winsor spoke to the following pledge:-- "In case our country is at war, I will not join nor work for the Red Cross, nor make hospital supplies; I will not urge food conservation; I will not buy Liberty Bonds or any similar war loans; I will not make munitions nor take a man's place in order to enable him to go to war." Among Miss Winsor's remarks were the following: "We heal the wounded soldier coming from the battlefield, and then -- we send him back again to fight for his country. In that case, what is the use of healing up that man only to send him back again to go through the same thing. It is difficult to draw a line in all this work of food conservation -- but there is a clear cut line which we all can draw when we remember that Mr. Hoover said: "Without the aid of the women in food conservation, we should not have won the war." It wasn't to help the hungry that we conserved food; it was to win the war. Wars are won, not by the victory on the battlefield, but by slow starvation of the non-combatant population. We should refuse, it has been said, to pay all taxes in time of peace because so much of our money is taken in time of war, but we cannot help that. Once war has been declared, you cannot refuse to pay your taxes, but you can refuse voluntarily to buy Liberty Loans. If you buy bonds and your money is used to provide machine guns -- who fired these machine guns you * * * or the man who fired the shot? I have more respect for the man who actually fired the shot. When President Harding said he hoped there would be no more wars but when the next war came he hoped that the country would be so well prepared that every man and woman would be fully prepared to fit into the right place, *Note -- Mrs. DuBois of New Jersey, wished to go on record as being against the endorsement of this project by the W. I. L. owing to the fact that its success depended upon funds to be furnished by a few wealthy men. I thought every woman would be aroused. I think there is a strong possibility that this country will be involved in other wars while we are listening to what is going on. We should prepare our minds as to what we are going to do in such an emergency. It would not take much to deter your Government from declaring war if it were known that a determined minority of men and women would give no help whatsoever and might, on occasion, be troublesome. The Government would think twice. You may say it could not be done -- it has been done! The worthy people of England did it when the Prime Minister of England wanted a war with Russia, and the Prime Minister climbed down -- and there was no war. If we form an organization of those who would not take part in war, the women who first join it will be the exceptions. But the world is coming around to our way of thinking, and we must lead them not only to think as we think, but to act as we act. It is not what we think and what we say but it is what we do in the hour of trial that is going to convert people. Women must join with the working classes of the world and resist what the governing classes of men want. Men always respect a woman who stands up for what she believes to be right. A clearcut standard of "no help to Governments in time of war!" That is very little to demand of pacifists! My ideal is that of Emerson when he said '* *the power of love as the basis of the State has never yet been tried.'" Mrs. Henry D. Villard, representing the Women's Peace Society, also spoke to the Resolution. Among other things she said: -- "Ruskin said: "You women are responsible for war, not in that you have caused it, but in that you have not hindered it." To my way of thinking the only thing that can make that pathway around the world which will guide people -- today and in the future- is to declare that human life is sacred -- must be held sacred and inviolable under all circumstances. Then you have a slogan which will not only prevent war but also serve in every other capacity. My own idea is that a spiritual statement ought to cover all things, that it might not be necessary to pledge people to anything but that; but I see no harm whatever in having people get the strength that comes from making them say "I will do this," but if you are unwilling to do so, to say "I intend to do this." Everybody knows that whatever you say, you have to be tested afterwards as to how you bear yourself under conditions unlike the ones that existed when you said it. And if you really believe a thing, you must say it naturally: "I will not do this thing." "I will not help in this way." Halfway measures never succeed. I like to quote my father, whenever possible. (Applause.) And this is one thing he used to say: "Moderation in theory is perpetuity in practice." Now if this body in the United States should say: "We shall give an example to the world to show the utter folly and uselessness of talking of peace without having on the banner the great principle of the preservation of human life under all circumstances," we shall have members in plenty, because the people are waiting for the message. They are heartsick, and they see what probably most people here don't see, that not only Europe is in peril but that we ourselves are in peril. I am sure that any organization so well equipped as this -- especially in Europe where the women are far more advanced than we are, because the iron has entered into their souls -- an example that would be set by this organization would be followed gladly, I am sure, all over Europe where women have suffered. Therefore, I would beg and implore you not to be timid, no matter whether you have taken a pledge or not. And men will be with us; they pray that women do something. Don't believe that the majority of them want to throw away their lives. They don't. And it is our manifest duty to come to their rescue and save mankind, for it really and truly is perishing." Following Mrs. Villard's address there was a general discussion of the Resolution. Mrs. Mathes, of Chicago, among other remarks, said: "I can't begin to express my appreciation of the wonderful addresses that have been made this morning. I am sure we all agree with everything except the references to pledges. First, many of us don't agree with pledges. Second, many pledges don't mean anything. Third, in temperance work, they first started out on that basis and it did not work. We know that the way to attain a purpose is to organize politically and elect Congressmen all over the United States who will not vote for war and who will to it that our Government goes into the World Court which is already established for the outlawry of war." The question was finally brought to a vote and was lost by a large majority, The subject of the afternoon session on Saturday was Part 3 of Miss Winsor's Resolution, "Propaganda and Methods of Work." There was a discussion of the need of education along the lines of peace and internationalism and the necessity for strong text books for children. Cooperation with labor movements was also discussed. Finally it was voted to appoint Committees on Education and Cooperation with Labor. The question of the locality of national headquarters of the League was next discussed. There was brought out the necessity of a legislative office in Washington. It was voted upon and passed that the headquarters of the League remain in Washington. The Resolution Committee, Mrs. Cope, Chairman, reported the following resolutions which were voted upon and adopted, and read at the Mass Meeting on April 30: WHEREAS, The burden of taxation for the support of the Government for the year ending June 30, 1922 reached the huge sum of $3,535,050,485; WHEREAS, 83.6 of this total was appropriated for was, past, present and to come, and only 16.4 for education, science, public service, public health and other expenses of the Government; and WHEREAS, Out of the 83.6 appropriated for war 57.2 is for payment of past wars, and being debts of honor cannot be reduced save by the death of pensioners; and WHEREAS, A victorious war to end war has just been concluded, followed by a conference establishing a naval holiday, which we are assured has removed the danger of war for at least a generation; WHEREAS, The 16.4 of the income of the Government appropriated for civil purposes is an irreducible minimum; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That we urge all women who desire as voters to promote economy in the administration of government and secure reduction in the staggering burden of taxation, to seek to elect to Congress persons pledged to secure that reduction out of the appropriation for the maintenance of naval and military establishments. WHEREAS, The Government of the United States has taken control of the Internal affairs of the Republic of Haiti and San Domingo by means of a military occupation; BE IT RESOLVED, That the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom urge upon the President of the United States the immediate withdrawal of the American marines and the reestablishment of complete administrative independency of those friendly republics. The Section for the U. S. A. of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in meeting assembled deeply regrets to learn of the new franchise in Hungary, which revokes the previous universal, free, equal suffrage which required a high educational test, and establishes open voting in place of the secret ballot in rural districts. WE BELIEVE: That this change is a backward step and that it will seriously cripple the forces working for peace and democracy in Hungary. WE THEREFORE: As women interested in human advancement, wish to register our opinion with those in authority in Hungary and to urge groups of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in other countries to take similar action. WHEREAS, In this present month of April, 1922, two years and a half after the Armistice, there are still 113 men in prison for offenses against the draft and espionage acts; WHEREAS, All similar prisoners in both allied and enemy countries have long since been set free; and WHEREAS, These 113 prisoners are innocent of all overt acts and of any offense under peace time laws; therefore BE IT RESOLVED, That we, the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom call upon the President immediately to grant a general amnesty to all these prisoners; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this resolution be sent to the President, the Attorney General, the Chairman of the Judiciary Committees of Congress and such Senators and Congressmen as is deemed advisable. WHEREAS, The Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, Section of the United States, recognizes in its constitution that the causes of war exist, no solely in the imperfect relations of the nations to each other but also of races and classes; and WHEREAS, This section has facilities for continuous work with Congress and the administration; therefore RESOLVED, That this Annual Meeting pledges this Section to promote Federal measures to establish within our borders those bills now pending which, like the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, tend to establish justice between the races of our own soil; and further RESOLVED, That we introduce a measure to require a popular vote of all the people before the Army, the Navy or the Marines, or any other portion of the forces of the United States Government, can be called into action in foreign waters or on foreign soil; and RESOLVED, That, as opportunity may arise, we protest against the use of armed forces in connection with industrial disputes in our country; and RESOLVED, That we adopt this policy, believing that these are immediate, practicable steps toward the abolition of the immemorial curse of mankind, organized violence at home and abroad. WHEREAS, The first Amendment to the Constitution guarantees to the people of the United States freedom of speech and freedom of assembly; and WHEREAS, There is also provided an orderly system by which law may be administered in this country; WHEREAS, There seems to be a spirit of lawlessness abroad in our land which manifests itself in numerous ways; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the United States Section, believing in the orderly process of Government, protest against all such manifestations, whether prompted by personal disregard of law, or by prejudice against races, creeds or political beliefs; and be it further RESOLVED, That we appeal to our Government, and to other citizens, to do all in their power to put down mob violence and race hatred, and to restore absolute freedom of speech and of assembly. WHEREAS, 180,000,000 Russian people are suffering from effects of war and blockade, followed by a famine which is exterminating millions; and WHEREAS, The Russian people are in great need of large quantities of machinery, clothing and other supplies which the United States and European countries can furnish if normal relations between Russia and the rest of the world are established; and WHEREAS, World Peace depends not only upon the terms of friendly settlement between Russia and the European states assembled at Genoa, but upon the attitude of the United States as well; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom at the Seventh Annual Convention urges President Harding to grant without delay full and formal recognition of the Russian Soviet Republic, the Far Eastern Republic, and the autonomous Re- publics carved out of the former Russian Empire; AND BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, That copies of this Resolution be forwarded to the President of the United States, to the Secretary of State and to the Committee on Foreign Affairs. — WHEREAS, Wr recognize that the establishment of the World Court on the permanent and secure basis offers a medium for the transfer of inter- national disputes from the battlefield to the court of law; BE IT RESOLVED, That we urge its immediate us bey all nations and particularly by the United States; ALSO RESOLVED, That we urge upon the President of the United States a conference in which all nations shall be asked to join, the object of which shall be to devise ways and means for such use of the World Court as shall make effective the substitution of law for war in all cases of inter- national difficulty. — WHEREAS, The National League of Women Voters in its recent con- vention adopted a series of resolutions which express principles long upheld by the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, we the United States Section of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in convention assembled hereby reaffirm our principles by the adoption of the same resolution as follows: WHEREAS, In establishing justice and amity between human beings men have defined and repudiated crimes of individuals against the public welfare; and WHEREAS, The greatest crime against the public welfare is war; and WHEREAS, We applaud the progress toward peace in the recent re- duction of naval armament and the curb on naval competition; and WHEREAS, We recognize that conferences alone as shown by those at The Hague have not prevented or ameliorated wars in the past, that resolutions outlawing certain methods of killing, such as poison gas and sub- marines, are not only futile but imply that certain other methods are justi- fiable; THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom in convention assembled at Washington, D.C. April, 1922 asserts its conviction that the aim of all international peace efforts should be to outlaw war itself and to abolish it as a legalized institu- tion, instead of to regulate it, and that to this end a code of international law, based upon equity and justice between nations, as municipal law is based upon equity and justice between individuals, be erected, by which the wag0 ing of war be made a crime, defined and punishable under the terms of the code. — On Sunday, April 30, a large mass meeting was held presided over by Miss Addams.
