What relic of murderous barbarism is
war! Were single individual, having
a difference with another, to go out and
kill him, the slayer would but face the
gallows. We demand that because we
claim to be civilized. Civilized! The
world is not yet half way on the path OF
civilization! Slaughter by thousands is
only a vaster murder than the Staying
of one. The nation is as responsible as
the individual, yet the nation holly per-
petrates the more enormous crime and
the deed is palliated and condoned by a
world not yet capable Of realizing what
It does.

est of his country, and that parsonage
has been at the head of the government
continuously ever since. After 1910 he
