thinj;- Ave may be sure of: our pray

as much as they ever v/ere. Hos
tilities have ceased, fcut pcace is
much harder to v/in than victory.
The secret of swift victory was un-

subordination of all forces under one
ma.‘'/cer rnin<l. Pcace cannot come

r\rh':eous and abidin" peace, v/e are

victory.

c:ror.eive schools, and, it is further,nations, mectinrc in conference
