OF mankind to understand one another.
Nowadays it is the will of the people
themselves that makes or prevents
wars. Therefore to help men to be
brethren is to bring in that reign of
peace on earth toward which the world
has travelled for millenniumS.
If religion has done nothing for
your temper, it has done nothing for
your SOUL some one has wisely said
The heart of peace is the proof of the
souls faith.
Peace is sometimes to be fought for,
as well as prayed for. That may
seem paradoxicaI. But it is true.
Spinelessness is in no wise a quality of
peace. Lack of character and cowardly
conformity to essential evil, has never
promoted lasting peace, although it has
sometimes postponed. the inevitable
struggle until nobler men come on the
scene to face the issue. There have
been holy wars Resistance of oppros-
sion has been noble. Every battle for
truth has served the cause of ultimate
peath. In the order of qualities truth
must be put first, and peace second.
Peace must be in human hearts be-
fore it can be in the nation.
To have more of peace, seek more
of Christ He is our peace.
