Women Will Work for Peace.

The determining part to be played by women in the war against war is clear. The militant women we know today are the mothers of the women of tomorrow. These womeh will no longer be merely the “ministering angels" of the past to nurse the wounded in battle, to weep for the dead. They will make their Influence potent In the conduct of the nations, and that Influence will be for peace. But how? Never forgetting their ultimate, aim, always realizing that they must oo cupy a place In the councils of men, as equals of men, let women lay to slumber their Individual present aspirations and widely awaken their broader humanitarian aspirations for an achievement Infinitely longed for, not alone by them, but by all humanity alike.

Henceforth, in the home, the school, society, women must advocate with all their powers the union of nations in a compact that shall usher in the dawn of a lasting universal peace. Through all mediums let them work, into all existing institutions let them inject that spirit. Let them create Institutions if those that exist do not suffice.—Madeline Black.
