This book is designed to lead pleasantly into what William Penn called the broad pathway of Good Faith and Good Will." Hence its title, and its frontispiece of the "Peace Portal" on the boundary between our own country and Canada. (See page 5.)

"A Gateway to Good Will" is dedicated to all those who wish to arrange programs embodying the spirit of Good Will, but especially to teachers, who have such great opportunities to build up constructive thought on Peace and Internationalism.

"The whole question of Peace is a vital one for the individual-for our personal life in relation to God, and for our social and corporate life, as well as for the nations and peoples of the world.

"We need peace in our own souls, peace with God, peace with our own inner selves, that is, a unification of all our powers and gifts under the loving control of God's Holy Spirit. This is the work of a life-time, and a process of infinite slowness in most lives, but it is a necessary part of the whole problem of peace.

"We must then get into friendly relations with all God's other children, whether we are naturally akin to them, or whether we feel the clash of varying temperaments, which cause friction and irritation. Somehow or other, this clash of wills, this thwarting of each other must cease. The problem is-how?

"We need peace between larger groups still, the peoples of the different nations. This cannot be attained merely or chiefly by the action of Governments, it must be the will, the good-will of the people themselves."-The Friend (London).

If what we have gathered, from various sources, serves to stimulate and increase the power of Good Will, in a world sorely in need of it, we shall not have labored in vain. We gratefully acknowledge the permission of some authors to use what they have written and appreciate their hearty good wishes for the success of this contribution to "the great cause.
