DECLARES MEN :
STILL SAVAGE
Rev. h. r. Rose Sees End of
Christian Religion Unless All
Are Universalists.

Rev. Henry r. Rose, pastor of the
Church of the Redeemer, sees the end
of the Christian religion unless all
become universalists, and declared in
sermon last night that reports OF.
the war shows that men are savage
still He said, in part:
No religion has yet been able tdI
end war. We find war and rumoras
of war in every country from tim
to time, no matter what its religion
may be. The record of Christian ma
tions is especially bad and sad in
this respect. Today in Europe it is
Christian nations against Christian
nations and they are numbering one
another as if they We're fighting
sayages or wolves. What is wrong
with Christianity that it has been
and still is such a fighting religion?
The trouble is this: Christianity was
changed from the loving religion it
was when it left the hands of Jesuj,
John and Paul and became cruel
religion under perversions. If we
think wrong, we go wrong. The
Christian world has thought wrong
in religion and 1t has gone wrong
in its treatment of it's own members
as well as the so-called pagan and
hea then worlds.
what the Christian world needs is
a change in Christianity from a par
tial religion to a universal religion:
from a cruel basis to a loving basis.
1t needs God who is all love and "A
Christ who is all love; God who is
the Father of all men and a Christ
who is a brother of all men. Yes, let
them be just, but always have their
justice tempered with mercy and
their punishment ever for the good of
the punished and not merely retri-
butive.
"Ths much is certain: from this
war onward Christianity will have to
change its teachings and behavior or
be rejected by nations like China,
India and Japan. 1t has now proved
itself a religion unable to restrain
even it's most civilized and most
Christianized countries from flying at
each others threats, and the Chris
tians engaged in the war, If we are to
trust the cables. have been guilty of
atrocities just as terrible as those
committed by barbarians and saw

Special to the Evening Star.
NEW BRUNSWICK, Sept. 2S.-Dr.
John C. Van Dyke, professor of the
history of art at Rutgers College, who
has just returned from the war zone,
predicts that the Hapsburgs and the
Hohenzollerns will Ego into the scrap
heap with the Bourbons." Dr. Van
Dyke said that the mobilization scenes
were most pitiful.
mo one believed for a moment that
such a crazy performance could take
place in this age of the world. But
it has taken place, and greater things
may come of it than we at present
realize. Only one thing seems certain,
and that is there will be a fight to the
finish. | learned almost directly from
Sir Edward Grey that any and all
peace proposals at this time were
premature and would not be enter
tanned. The English government is
determined to fight to final finish
and to settle the status of Europe
permanently, or for fifty years at
least
Everybody in Europe, or in the
world, for that matter, is against the
war as being without cause or reason.
Moreover, even the peasantry of Eu-
rope are crying out that no half
dozen men at the head of governments
should have the right to send millions
of people to their death.
1T does not look now as though
they would have any such right as
that after the end of this war. The
Hapsburgs and the Hohenzollcrns will
have to go on the scrap heap with
the Bourbons. Whichever side wins
the imperial power will be weakened.
The German Peep. are now standing
behind their emperor; but when it
comes to a settlement they may think
1t wise to eliminate the war party.
They are no more eager for this war
than the French and English. Every
body hates IL +"
