The Platform.
INTERNATIONAL PEACE PLAN.
Adopted at Annual Convention, Pitts
burgh, Pa., December 1, 1914.
We insist that all churches have
equal rights in this country.
We insist that the Mormon church
shall have no more privileges than
any other church in this country.
We insist that the temporal Mor
mon Kingdom shall cease to exist in
this country.
An International Peace Tribunal
representing all nations, for the ad
justment of all serious international
difficulties.
An International Police Force for
the preservation of order in the
world. Such police force would not,
of course, be expected to interfere
with the special police regulations of
each nation within its own boun
daries.
The limitation of national appro
priations for military purposes.
The disarmament of all battleships
and the disbanding of all armies not
needed in the composition of an in
ternational police force, or for the
preservation of internal peace.
The cessation of the manufacture
of all military implements, except as
above implied.
Provision for systematic instruc
tion in the public schools as to the
injustice, misery, and economic waste
of war.
A campaign on the part of the
Christian pulpit everywhere on the
necessity for permanent peace.
An effort on the part of the Ameri
can nation to meditate for peace at
the earliest opportune moment.
A world-wide call for national obe
dience to Christ, based on His King
ship over nations, governments, and
rulers. Nothing else is so important
in a great peace movement as this.
The present awful conflict could
never have taken place had nations
as such and their rulers obeyed the
law of esus Christ. Assurance of
peace can not be secured on any
other basis than that of national al
legiance to Him.

System, the magazine of business,
has recently gathered statistics on
“the cost of doing business’’ from five
hundred and seventy-nine concerns.
IS HE CRAZY?
The owner of a large plantation in
Mississippi, where the fine figs grow,
is giving away a few five-acre fruit
tracts. The only condition is that figs
be planted. The owner wants enough
figs raised to supply a co-operative
canning factory. You can secure five
acres and an interest in the canning
factory by writing the Eubank Farms
Company, 5G2 Keystone, Pittsburg, Pa.
They will plant and care for your
trees for $G per month. Your profits
should be SI,OOO per year. Some think
this man is crazy for giving away
such valuable land, but there may be
method in his madness.
HEMS OF INTEREST
The lowest percentage of cost was
14.5, the highest 25.8, with an average
cost of rather more than 20 per cent.
The average for mission boards is
about 8 per cent.
At a missionary dispensary in In
dia there are sometimes treated in a
single day a thousand patients, rep
resenting three hundred villages. Seven
hundred operations for cataract were
performed in one year. Dr. Archer,
who is in charge, places strong em
phasis upon the importance of evan
gelistic work on the part of the phy
sician and his assistants.

THE GOLDEN AGE
A hundred years ago there were no
medical missionaries and more than
two-thirds of the world was without
adequate medical knowledge; today
there are several hundred medical
missionaries treating annually over
three million patients.
IF THEY WONT, THEN MAKE
THEM.
The Alabama legislature has made
it unlawful for newspapers to carry
liquor advertising. That is right. If
a newspaper will not take a high moral
stand in its community, it ought to
be prevented from taking a low one. —
Ocilla Starr.
The Golden Age thoroughly agrees
with the Starr.
