Chapter 14: the peace crusade 1870-1872; aet. 51-53 Endeavor “What hast thou for thy scattered seed, O Sower of the plain? Where are the many gathered sheaves Thy hope should bring again?” unced, This Association proposes to hold a World's Congress of Women, in London, in the summer of 1872, in which undertaking the cooperation of all persons is earnestly invited. Before continuing t must be willing that our opposites should think and speak out their belief. In the spring of 1872 she went to England, hoping to hold a Woman's Peace Congress in London. She also hoped to found r eyes, with a companion to whom all doors opened eagerly. This was the picture of 1843; that of 1872 is different, indeed. A woman of middle age, quiet in dress and manner, with a serene and consfor which, but a few years before, she had been sighing: this was the woman who came to London in 1872, alone and unaided; who, standing before the Dark Tower of established Order and Precedent, might

Chapter 15: Santo Domingo 1872-1874; aet. 53-56 A Parable “I sent a child of mine to-day; I hope you used him well.” “Now, Lord, no visitor of yours Has waited at my bell.” “The children of the Millionnaire Run up and down our street; I glory in their well-combed hair, Their dress and trim complete.” “But yours would in a chariot come With thoroughbreds so gay; And little merry maids and men To cheer him on his way.” “Stood, then, no child before your door?” The Lord, persistent, said. “Only a ragged beggar-boy, With rough and frowzy head.” “The dirt was crusted on his skin, His muddy feet were bare; The cook gave victuals from within; I cursed his coming there.” What sorrow, silvered with a smile, Slides o'er the face divine? What tenderest whisper thrills rebuke? “The beggar-boy was mine!” J. W. H. We must go back a little to tell another story. In the winter of 1870-71 the Republic of Santo Domingo sent through its president an u

Chapter 16: the last of Green Peace 1872-1876; aet. 53-57 He who launched thee a bolt of fire Strong in courage and in desire Takes thee again a weapon true In heaven's armory ever new. Still shall the masterful fight go on, Still shall the battle of Right be won And He who fixed thee in upper air Shall carry thy prowess o's health failed more and more, his heart turned to the home he had made. He longed for Green Peace; and — the lease falling in about this time — in the spring of 1872 he and our mother and Maud moved thither, and took up their quarters in the new part, while Laura and her husband came to occupy the old.

December 28. ...Mrs. Barrows dined tete-a-tete with me, and we had much talk about Armenia. I said: If we two should go to England, would it do any good? I spoke only half in earnest. She said: If you would only go, I would go with you as your henchman. This set me thinking of a voyage to England and a crusade such as I made for Peace in 1872. I am, however, held forcibly here by engagements, and at my age, my bodily presence might be, as St. Paul says, contemptible. I must try to work in some other way.

n to Anna Garlin Spencer. I am much disappointed, but it is a relief not to cause Laura such painful anxiety as she would have felt if I had decided to go. She wept with joy when I gave it up. We had a very pleasant dinner party for the Barrett Wendells with their friends, Professor Ames, of Berkeley University, California, Waddy Longfellow, Charles Gibson, Laura, Betty, and I. She sent a letter to the Convention, which was read by Florence. In this, after recalling her Peace Crusade of 1872, she said:-- Here and there, a sisterly voice responded to my appeal, but the greater number said: We have neither time nor money that we can call our own. We cannot travel, we cannot meet together. And so my intended Peace Congress of Women melted away like a dream, and my final meeting, held in the world's great metropolis, did not promise to lead to any important result. What has made the difference between that time and this? New things, so far as women are concerned, viz.: the
