The agreement of the leading nations of the earth to combine against future wars. The widening of the spirit of good-will among men and nations. The friendship of Europe won by the noble response of America to its uttered and un- uttered appeal for help. The clearer recognition of the claims of human brotherhood— in whose presence, race prejudice dies. The more rapid growth of the humane movement, especially as affecting the defense less among men and animals. The larger perception of the importance of humane education. The more universal cultivation of the su preme virtue kindness. The more universal condemnation of the supreme vice cruelty. F. H. R.
