302 whole world into one neighborhood, grant that he may, by his coöperations, make the whole world into one brotherhood. Help us to break down all race prejudice, stay the greed of those who profit by war, and the ambitions of those who seek an imperialistic conquest, drenched in blood. Guide all statesmen to seek a just basis for international action in the interests of peace. Arouse in the whole body of the people an adventurous willingness, as they sacrificed greatly for war, so, also, for international good-will, to dare bravely, think wisely, decide resolutely and to achieve triumphantly. Amen.

PEACE

BY HAROLD TROWBRIDGE PULSIFER

cannon's voice is dumb,

The sword is sheathed again,

Homeward our legions come,—

Is it peace for the sons of men?

Peace for the troubled earth

And the host of those that lie

In the lands that gave them birth

Or beneath a stranger sky?
