handle is hein.journals/wrldaf3 and id is 1 raw text is: ADVOCATE OF PEACE. No. XVII. JUNE, 1839. ELEVENTH ANNIVERSARY OF THE AMERICAN PEACE SOCIETY. THE Society held its eleventh anniversary on Tuesday, May 28th, 3 o'clock, P. M., at the Marlboro' Chapel, Boston. WILLIAM LADD, Esq., presided; the Rev. WILLIAM COGSWELL, D. D., Boston, intro- duced the exercises with prayer; and the Corresponding Secretary read an abstract of the Report. Hon. SIDNEY WILLARD, Cambridge, seconded by the Rev. J. W. PUTNAM, Middleborough, moved the acceptance of the Report. On motion of Rev. D. O. MORTON, Winclhendon, Mass., seconded by the Rev. C. T. TORREY, of Salem, Mass., it was Resolved, That the spirit of Christianity, and the spirit of war, are totally different, insomuch that if wars are perpetuated, Christianity can never fill the world, but if Christianity prevails in its purity, and is rightly applied to the subject, wars must cease. On motion of Rev. BARON STOW, Boston, seconded by the Rev. GEORGE TRASK, Warren, it was Resolved, That peace between nations, like peace between individuals, is to be pro- moted by a right application of the gospel ; and that the exefcise of forbearance, kind- ness and conciliation, would in most, if not all cases, prove far more successful than an appeal to arms. Mr. LADD resigned the chair to the Hon. SIDNEY WILLARD, and supported, in a speech of some length, the following resolution, seconded by Rev. Dr. PEIRCE, Brookline. Resolved, That the late excitement in Maine, and in the United States generally, on the subject of our north-eastern boundary, indicates the existence of a war-spirit, and a party-spirit, which ought to be resisted by all the friends of peace, of' their country and the world, as the chief source of contests between nations. The audience was larger than we have ever seen on a similar occasion, and listened apparently with much satisfaction to the brief and spirited addresses by Messrs. Morton, Torrey, Stow, and Ladd. At the close of the public exercises, the Society held a meeting for business, and chose its officers for the ensuing year. VOL. 1II.-NO. I. 1
