December IG, 1914. A FAMILY PAPEE. EDITORIAL John W. Pritchard, Editor. The annual meeting of the National Reform Association was held in Pittsburgh on Tuesday, December 1. An afternoon meeting of the day before is thus noted in the city press: "At a conference of various national and international organizations held yesterday afternoon in the chapel of the Young Men's Christian Association Building, Sandusky street and Penn avenue, under the auspices of the National Reform Association, resolutions were adopted favoring the use of the Bible in all the schools in tho country. The organizations represented at the conference by fivedelegates each were the National Educational Association, International Sunday School Association, National Women's Christian Temperance Union, Order of Independent Americans, National Reform Association and the International Reform Bureau of Washington, D. C." Monday evening a public meeting was held. Tuesday's paper said: "That the chief of all causes of every kind ot warfare is the lust for domination, the desire tor mastery, was the belief expressed by Charles S. Macfarland, Ph.D., of New York, secretary o£ the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in Ainerica, in speaking last night before the National Reform Association, which is holding a two days' convention in the First Presbyterian Church, Sixth avenue, this city. Two topics ot nation-wide interest will engage the attention or the association during its present meeting—world peace and anti-polygamy, or anti-Mormonlsm. Concerned with the latter are a number of women, some of whom have come here from a distance to participate in the convention." "Preceding Dr. Macfarland's speech the Rev. T. H. Acheson, chairman of the plan of work committee, of this city, announced the peace plan of the association. It involved the distribution of pledges for contributions to the cause. The proposition follows: " 'An international peace tribunal representing all nations for the adjudgment of all serlou.j international difficulties; an international police force for the preservation of order in the world; the limitation of national appropriations for military purposes; the disarmament of all battleships and the disbanding of ail armies not needed in the composition of the International police force, or for the preservation of Internal peace; the cessation of the manufacture of all military implements, except as above implied; provision tor systematic instruction in public schools as to the injustice, misery and economic waste ot war; a campaign on the part of the Christian pulpit everywhere on the necessity for permanent peace; an effort on the part of the American nation to mediate for peace at the earliest opportune moment; a world-wide call for national obedience to Christ based on His kingship over nations, governments and rulers.' "The Rev. Dr. Henry C. Minton, of Trenton, N. J., president of the evening, discussed the causes of the war in his address on 'Peace Based on the Principles of the Prince of Peace.'" On Tuesday, December 1st: "The executive committee of the Association met in the chapel of the Central Y. M. C. A., with Dr. Harris of the Shadyside Presbyterian Church, presiding, and the Rev. John Yates ot the Central Reformed Church, North Side, as secretary. The following officers of the Association were re-elected for the ensuing year: President, the Rev. Dr. Henry Collin Minton of Trenton, N. J.; general superintendent, the Rev. Dr. James S. Martin of Beaver Falls, Pa.; treasurer, James S. Tibby of Pittsburgh; secretary, Thomas D. Edgar of Wilkinsburg. An executive committee and 100 vice-presidents were also elected." The Tuesday afternoon meeting was given over to the women identified with the Anti-Mormon crusade, to conduct. A number of speakers, both men and women, presented the evils of Mormonism. Morality in Education and the '"Weekly Rest Day," were on the program for Tuesday evening. The city papers gave space to reports of the meetings. The Post, the Democratic paper, had this editorial on Wednesday: "PRACTICAL PEACE PLAN. "The peace plan framed by the National Reform Association, in session here, for submission to the peace associations of the world, is eminently practical, crystalizing as it does the best thoughts that have been expressed on the subject by various Individuals and organizations in the past several years. It starts with the well known suggestion of an international police body to enforce its edicts. It supplements it with the other familiar proposals of disarmament ot battleships, limiting national appropriations for military purposes to the police needs of the different countries, and then sets forth the prime requisite of creating a sentiment that will force acceptance and uphold the plan. This, it holds, can be brought about 'only through recognition of God and His law as supreme,' only by upholding peace as the greatest thing in the world and minimizing the glamour of brute strength in contest. That is not idealistic. It is intensely practical. Some of the most practical minds in the world unite in the conclusion that there can be no hope of peace until there has been 'a change of heart,' until humanity ceases to applaud the fighting spirit, untilit ceases to head its list or heroes with Alexander the Great, Sciplo, Hannibal, Napoleon and their kind. The church people are right in their contention that there can be no world peace until the Prince of Peace is yielded chief allegliance. Instead of fillingthe minds or school children with thoughts of the 'great triumphs of war,' they would instruct them as to its injustice, misery and economic waste. But until humanity reaches that poiint, until It achieves that 'change of heart,' peace talk is idle. It would be folly for any nation to remain unarmed in a world of fighters." •With all the call for something "practical," this writer discerns what is the one thing needful—a change of heart. Gospel workers, therefore, have the firstplace, for theirs is the chief work. Their work is "eminently practical." "For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh,for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty, through God, to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ," 2 Corinthians 10:3-5. The Obedience of Christ! "I say unto you, that whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment." "I say unto you. Love your enemies, bless them that curse you; do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you; that ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven," Matthew, Sth chapter. "If thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink; for in so doing thou shait heap coals of fireon his head," Romans 12:20. The least token of good will today between the warring peoples, such as the late Lord Roberts gave, holds out a promise of happier days. The ship-loads of provisions to Ireland in the "famine" days knit the hearts of that people to America. The ship-loads of provisions to Belgium, the help for Albania, the return to China of a large part of the indemnity fund, the Red Cross work for either sides in this awful Iwar, are more effective than any studied plans. Any one may work at that; certainly, a body of Christian men with high ends in view. What is wanted is good will. This is especially a fruit of the Holy Spirit, and for this we are to pray. THE ULSTER PROBLEM. IV. Rome's Perfidy. By R. Holmes, Ballymoney. At the close of our last article we referred to two of the latest promises which Mr. Asquith violated when he placed the Home Rule Bill on the Statute Book, viz., (a) That the Amending Bill should be disposed of first, and (b) that no legislation would be proceeded with which would give either political party an advantage. During the time of Mr. Asquith's temporary enlargement he seemed determined to stand loyally by the terms of the truce on the Home Rule Controversy. And when the opposition, whom he had so often tricked before, began to show signs of uneasiness, he declared with emphasis that he would keep his promise in the spirit and in the letter. Noble words these! But they were like a hundred sword points in the heart of the Irish Nationalist leader. The Prime Minister at liberty spelled disaster to the Home Rule Bill. Mr. Redmond hurriedly re-forged and readjusted the shatteerd chains, led Mr. Asquith into the dismal prison house and made his feet fast in the stocks. It was while grinding in this pro-Romish cell Mr. Redmond extorted his pound of flesh. Thus the Home Rule Bill reached the Statute Book of Britain; and the paltry excuse for this gross betrayal of Ulster was that the circumstances of the war had altered the situation. In this way he justified his action, and broke his promises "in the spirit and in the letter." But it was all the other way about. Every circumstance of the war placed the Premier under super-added obligation to keep the truce. No circumstance of war or peace could have relieved him of his pledge not to pass the Home Rule Bill until the Amending Bill had been settled. His promise not to pass any legislation which would give either party an advantage was doubly binding, especially as the Anti-Home Rulers had nobly responded to the call: "To Arms!"
