Dear Jane Addams
I am known to you by name through dear Dr. Paton whose son Lewis is at present in Canada.
You have sometimes sent me kind messages.
I am urged by God this [morning] to tell you how He is working in Gt Britain.
Chamberlain has not got the people & Parliament behind him in his action about the Protocol.
We were never consulted, it was all hushed up & kept out of the election.
Even now it is only slowly but the perception of the great step forward that the protocol meant is perceived, & that the L of N Union has denied to come forward for it. My dear friend F. Herbert Stead, brother of W. T. Stead (also my friend) has just been on a crusade in the Highlands for the Protocol, & it was like a triumphant procession -- greetings all enthusiastic. He is to go again first week in May to East Scotland. Many of us are praying for him. We hope he will send a return wave South to England.
We want an American wave to reinforce us.
Peace, security, disarmament.
I am writing the life of Mrs Jennie Wareing of Rochdale [page 2] who was Mr W. T. Steads comrade, his prayer comrade in all his Peace Crusade.
I am hoping it may do much among young people for international comradeship.
I reach out to you with both hands, believing that in the unseen world multitudes are praying, & that in the cause of world peace we have the reinforcements of the Lord of Hosts.
Yours in His service
