Harvest Ingathering Campaign

The Harvest Ingathering campaign seems to be gathering momentum already, and it looks as if several conferences expect to get started early this year. Word from the Pacific Press states that orders are now coming in rapidly for the papers. From New York City 10,000 copies were ordered by telegram. These were on the way to them one hour later. Up to the twentieth of August, 375,000 papers had been printed. A mail car is at the service of the Press, standing on their siding.

We hope the conference officers are attending to sending in their orders early. Estimate liberally, for the people will have a mind to work. Surely we must go far beyond all former records this year. Everything demands it of us.

During the present week there will be held in Chicago a large convention of peace advocates, a number of peace societies taking part in the conference. But the war-mad nations will not heed and will not hear. While peace societies lay plans for universal peace, the warring nations are bending every effort to overwhelm their adversaries, and are utilizing every resource of science to make their projects possible, and nearly every industrial concern that can turn its facilities to the manufacture of the instruments of death is doing so. The cry of “Peace, peace,” when “there is no peace,” is the paradox of our day.
