Advertising had been done through the papers and many personal invitations given. Th chairmen and members of the committee both oi the N. W. R. S. and Y. L. M I. A. were very busy for sometime befoiehand holding meetings and making plans for this public meeting. It was the week of the International Peace held in Boston, Congress which was Massachusetts. Personal letters were addressed to ministers of various denominations asking them to preach sermons or give addresses on Peace and Arbitration on Sunday, October 2, or at some other conven'ent time. This request met with general approval and most of the ministers took up the subject, thus the peace sentiment was pretty weil ventilated beforehand. Mrs. Emily S. Richards of Peace committee from the N. W. R. 3 and Mrs. x Ruth of Peace c mmittee from Y. L. M. I. A. with coworkers prepared and sent out circulars of instructions to the Presidents and Superintendents of Associa tions in all the Stakes, counties, etc., and set the ball rolling.

His Excellency Governor Heber M. Wells presided at the meeting. The speakers and other distinguished visitois with the committee (ccupied seats on the platform. Reverend W. H. Fish opened the meeting with prayer and the famous quartette Messrs. Spencer, Pyper, Whitney and Patiick rendered gloriously, "A Flag with out a Stain." Mr. Walter Wallace in his wondrous baritone voice sang "The Wanderer." Governor Wells in his most lLimitable style made an opening address, expressing his interest in the cause and his appreciation of the efforts being made to secure settlements of difficulties between nations by a court of Arbitration, atid introduced in a pleasing manner Major Richard W Young grandson of the Hon Brigham Young as the first speaker of the evening, saying that though he was a man of war having been a cadet from West Point served his country well in the Philipmes, and so forth yet he was nevertheless narodox cai as it might seem emphatically in favor ol Major Young's address has been peace. published in lull in the Deseret Evening News. This fine address was a masterly effort throughout and enthusiastically received and heattily applauded. A song by Miss Agatha Berkhoel was beauti ully rendered her voice reaching very high notes clear and melodi usly. At the conclusion of Major Young's address Mrs.E. B Wells read the Peace Resolutions and Gov. Wells called for the vote which was unanimous. The audience was honored by the presence of the Hon C. V. Gerretsen of Amsterdam, Holland, who had been a delegate from Holland to the Interparliamentary Peace Congress in St. Louis held there in September. The gentlemen made a most unique address giving a history ot the Interparliamentary Peace Union League, the nature oi its Congresses and what had been done through the organization towards securing certain measures for the cau-e- . It will be remembered by our readers that it was the delegation from this Congress that presented to President Roosevelt the Resolutions passed by them in St. Louis and which were so favorably received by the Chief Executive and almost immediately acted upon. Mr. Gerretsen gave the audience an entirely different version of the Interparliamentary Union to what had been previously thought, the manner of taking up these international differences, and gave us new light on the subject. Mrs. C. F. Wilcox read in a very effective manner Rudgard Kipling's "Recess- EDITORIAL NOTES- We hope our readers will excuse our not publishing in this i sue of the paper the minutes of the General Relief Society Confer-eivheld in October last, but we will certainly include it in the U.cember number. e The meeting of the Daughters of the Pioneers was held on October 24'h, in the B e Hive house, the president, Sister Alice Merrill Home, presiding.
