Regarding the cause of Peace as eminently Christian, and as havisg special claims on all. disciples of the Prince of Peace, we wish to bring its claims as soon and widely as possible be- fore the Christian community is two brief, earnest appeals on its behalf, one entitled A Plea wcith Ministers for the Cause of Peace, and the other A Plea with all Christians for the Cause of Peace. The tormer, showing the special claims of Peace on preahers of the Gospel, in what ways they can easily and effectually promote it, and enforcing these appeals by the ex- ample of eminent ministers, both ancient and modern, contains matter enough for a small volume, a copy of which we wish to give to all our 50,000 ministers. To do this would require some $2,000.- Tie Plea with all Christians for the Cause of Peace, a nuch larger work, fuller in its details, and more comprehensive in the range of its topics, a general view of the cause in its aim, its principles, its-measures, and the wide, ubiquitous sweep of its beatings on all human interests, we wish as fast as possible to circulate throughout the land, and put a copy in every fam- ily. In these special efforts we earnestly entreat the aid of all good men. Some friends have already given $100 and $50 cas h. We hope some of our wealthier friends will give still more. Donations may be sent to American Peace Society, Boston, Mass., or to Rev. A. Lord, Chicago, Ill. PEACE ENVELOPE.- At 60 ets. per 100, sent post-paid. Not only beautiful, but a Peace Tract in Miniature. Digitized from Best Copy Available No. 13
