Book excerpt: Excerpt from Official Report of the Seventeenth Universal Congress of Peace: Held at Caxton Hall, Westminster, London, July 27th to August 1st, 1908 The National Peace Council has pleasure in presenting to the delegates and adherents of the London Peace Congress, 1908, and to the general public, the Official Report of the proceedings, and regrets that some delay in its production has been unavoidable. The Report has been edited by the undersigned from the official shorthand writer's notes. Considerable assistance has been given in preparing the volume by my colleague Miss M. H. Huntsman, Mr. T. P. Newman, Mr. J. F. Green, and others, to whom acknowledgments are due. The report in French has been edited by Mr. Joseph G. Alexander, on the basis of accounts appearing in various French peace journals, and in the Correspondance bi-mensuelle, of the Berne Bureau. The Rev. G. Ramette, joint-pastor of the French Protestant Church, Soho Square, has very kindly assisted with the French proofs. The numerous illustrations will, it is thought, add to the value of the volume as a record and souvenir. Several are from photographs kindly supplied by the Topical Press Agency and by the London News Agency. Owing to considerations of space it has not been found possible to print the Congress Sermon, preached in Westminster Abbey by the Bishop of Carlisle (in place of the Bishop of Hereford, who was prevented from attending). A full report of the Bishop of Carlisle's address to the Christian Conference will, however, be found in the following pages. Many Peace sermons and addresses were delivered in churches of various denominations at the time of the Congress. Amongst these was a series of five lectures on "Factors in the Promotion of International Peace," delivered at Bow Church, Cheapside, by Dr. W. Evans Darby, Secretary of the Peace Society.
