An International S oho Dedicated to PreaH m t llardtng
Since life began World's history's tieen wrought
With men's grim hatt!»s oft renewed ami fought;
Progress has taught the evil of our way,
Aud peace is dawning with s newer day.
The force of might—not right—has often ruled.
And all the world In aritinm nt !>een schooled;
IMease God, no more vast gr.i*'eyarda where we kneel.
But join our hearts and hauut for common weal.
Men a minds have vied for U tter ways to make
1instructive forces for destruction's sake;
From rhaoa and confusion there shall rise
Enduring peace and everlasting ties.

May love Instead of hat* our hearts ewthrali.
We pray that every nation vets the right;
That truth and Justice rule In place of tu *tht;
That armament forever cea«c its reign.
And wasting war may ne'er irturn again.

With freedom's holy light,
