Jesus is held i'll high esteem. He IS can

He is known TO the Buddhists as great

war upon China, although the mass of
the japanese are as yet non Christian,
their soldiers were cautioned not to con-
duct themselves with the cruelty of pa
gan times, but to remember that the
eyes OF CHI istendOm were upon them
and must not be scandalized by wanton
slaughterings of the helpless and the
innocent. 1t is true that these warnings
were forgotten at Port Arthur but the
blood that was ruthlessly shed there
was abjectiy apologized for by the mi

tween Chris ian nations, and that all
wars are vio' 'tions of the teachings of
Christ, but the fact remains that the
world is now practically at peace.
