Not a wall of stone; not a wall linn

THE PUBLIC FORUM
A WALL

Chinese, fearing an invasion by the
Tartans, built as protection a mighty
wall This wall was about 1000
miles long and 20 feet high. At that
time nations we're particularly war
like, and being a soldier was looked
upon as good, profitable business.
The Chinese wished to avoid quarrel
ing with their neighbors, and, having
probably observed that maintaining
a large army and preparing for war
did make not for peace, they built
wall
The wall did its duty for time, but
times changed and so did the meth
DDS of warfare, consequently the wall
passed out of use. This was in the
third century, B. C.
We are now in the twentieth CEN
fury, A. D., and, in spite of our So
called civilization, Christianity and
our much-boasted educational insti-
buttons, we still have wars. Of
course, there are some parts of the
world that are looked upon as unciv-
ilized, but, strange to say, the war is
not raging Cnere, Dut is IN just tnoSe
places that claim to have reached the
highest standard of civilization yet
reached by man. Think of it! Think
of all the intellectual advancement;
think of the advancement in the I'M
derstanding of human nature and hui
man conduct; yet now in the TWEEN
tieth century we have war! Think
of the suffering as the results of war
that has been endured for ages, and
ages, and still war!
It is true that in methods we differ,
more or less, from the Chinese, but
they were beset by wars and so are
we; they had few who would rather
be at peace, so have we; in that re-
spect there is no difference. They
built wall, but nowadays wall of
that kind wouldn't be of much more
use than Hague peace conference.
