MUST HAVE PEACE THOUGH WE
FIGHT FOR IT.-Mrs. Eddy, the High
Priestess of Christian Science, is
said by the Sentinel, the organ of
that cult, to have declared that in
favor of a big navy as a peace pre-
server, as follows: For many
years have prayed daily that there
be no more war, no more barbarous
slaughtered our fellow-beings; prayed
that all the peoples on earth and the
Islands of the sea have one God, one
mind; love God supremacy, and love
their neighbor as themselves. Ma
tional disgreements can be, and
should be arbitrated wisely, fairly
and fully settled. 1t is unquestion-
able, however, that at this hour, the
armament of navies is necessary for
the purpose of preventing war and
preserving peace among nations.
