A Quaker On "Peace"

Concord, May 10 - Rev. Joseph Potts, a Quaker from Randolph County, delivered 
an address in the Presbyterian church last evening on "Peace." He advocates 
arbitration instead of war at all times. He upholds his subject with strong 
arguments and in a very interesting way. Dr. Pool coincided with Mr. Potts' 
views in a short talk. Dr. Payne did not quite agree with him in every 
respect. He believed that a citizen should obey the civil authority, and if 
this ordered him to war, then the blame lay upon the govenment, and not upon 
himself. In reply, Mr. Potts said that the Christian law of peace should be 
above all other laws; that we should obey this law rather [than] the civil law.
