"Why do not the mothers of mankind interfere in these matters to prevent the waste
 of that human life of which they alone bear and know the cost?"
 

The Mothers' Day Proclamation of 1870 is About the End of War  and Armaments as a Way of Life on the Earth, — and the Attendant Psychology it Generates and Establishes — And, in its Stead, the Re-Establishment of the Natural and Divine Purpose of Each and Every Individual Member of the Human Race   Mothers' Day Proclamation of 1870 by Julia Ward Howe (author of the Battle Hymn of the Republic)

 Arise then...women of this day!
Arise, all women who have hearts!
Whether your baptism be of water or of tears!

Say firmly:

"We will not have questions answered by irrelevant agencies,
Our husbands will not come to us, reeking with carnage,
For caresses and applause.

Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."

From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with
Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!

The sword of murder is not the balance of justice."
Blood does not wipe out dishonor,
Nor violence indicate possession.

As men have often forsaken the plough and the anvil
At the summons of war,
Let women now leave all that may be left of home
For a great and earnest day of counsel.

Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead.
Let them solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means
Whereby the great human family can live in peace...

Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar,
But of God —

In the name of womanhood and humanity, I earnestly ask
That a general congress of women without limit of nationality,

May be appointed and held at someplace deemed most convenient
And the earliest period consistent with its objects,

To promote the alliance of the different nationalities,
The amicable settlement of international questions,
The great and general interests of peace.
 

"The sword of murder is not the balance of justice." ... From the bosom of a devastated Earth a voice goes up with Our own. It says: "Disarm! Disarm!   —The Earth Mother

The clearly delineated roles of womanhood and manhood through its spiritual purpose:
 

“So God created humans in his image. In the image of God he created them.
 He created them male and female” — Genesis 1:27

"Each bearing after his own time the sacred impress,
 not of Caesar, But of God" —

The way of Man Created in the Image of God is Peace, Not War—as War Itself
 Derives from the Image and Rule of Caesar, i.e. Slavery and Tyranny

"Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn
All that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience.

"We, the women of one country,
Will be too tender of those of another country
To allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs."
 

At the same time, Nature is a Reflection of the Human Condition [World] and Tells us,
 in this Lesson Here and Here, How the Masculine Force of the Human Race
 Must Turn Toward Protecting, Not Destroying the Young of our Species,
 while Allowing their Natural Nurturing to Continue.
 

The Human Spirit is Not Designed to Kill Another,
 But to "Love One Another" —
 

“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.
  By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another” — John 13: 34-35
