"A FALSE IMPRESSION.

Lots of people claim that our government is
a Christian government. Lots more people
think that ours is an advanced civilization.
Ours is not a Christian gov rnment, and our
civilization can be vastly improved.
The teaching of Jesus does not sanction war.
The late congress appropriated $3.50 200, 900 to
te devoted to the maintenance of an army and
navy. The money thus appropriated is taxed
away from the trust-ldden people who produce
wealth How much good will that $3.50, ,ooo,-
900 do the people who toll for living? Who
are he benefcaries? How much of the senti-
ment "Thou shalt love tiny neighbor" will be
developed by the army and navy? How many
young people will be educated to noble life
by the soldiers and sailors? What new indus
try will be started, or what old industry will be
promoted? How can an agent of destruction
be considered all element of civilization? In
what part of tie scriptures does Jesus author
ize killing of men? Can we claim that our
government is Christian when it uses the weap-
ons of paganisin?
Let us not be lypocrites. Let us not be de-
ceved. Let us look at the facts as we find
them. The soldier is trained savage All
his powers are devoted to destroying life and
wealth in time of war, and in time of peace, he
is fed and clothed in idleness. When least
harmful, he is no higher than parasite. He
DESTROYS where lie has not created feeds of
what he has not produced. He adds nothing
to intellect. He builds no schools or universe
ties. He opens no new territories; turns the
sod of no new fields; makes no discoveries is
not an inventor; erects no manufactures He is
ten times more bully and an aggressor than
defender of his country. In word, he is
relic of barbarsm. He has far more of the
spirit of Satan than OF Christ
But we are told that since we became "world
power" we must have an army and navy.
What for? To defend our country? Not so.
Our country is not assailed. If it should occur
that our country was invaded by an enemy, the
citizen soldiery could and would defend. The
citizen has always done the fighting on behalf
OF principles or country, from Washington
down to Grant.
1t is only when we become bully and an
aggressor that we want armies and navies.
Nations, like individuals, are "hunting
trouble'' when they arm themselves in time Of
peace. Somebody wants plunder. Territories
