Tolerance

n that the emotions are controlled by FAITH and not by reason! And the church is the only great organized body in which faith of the world is centered. The church stands today as so many disconnected units of power, and it is not overstating the possibilities to say that when these units shall have been connected, through allied effort, the combined power of that alliance will rule the world and there is no opposing power on earth that can defeat it! It is in no discouraging spirit that this statement is followed by another which may seem still more radical; namely: The task of bringing about this alliance of the churches in support of the world ideal of universal peace must rest upon the female members of the church, for the reason that the abolition of war promises advantages that may be prolonged into the Future and that may accrue only to the unborn generations.

Those who do not want peace are the ones who profit by war. In numbers, this class constitutes but a fragment of the power of the world, and could be swept aside as though it did not exist, if the multitude who do not want war were
