For 1000 years the church has taught
us that Christ pronounced an anathema
on war and that as soon as Christianity
shall have been established the ascend
ancy of war will cease. Meantime We
have been allowed to believe that war is
necessary to keep the worst elements of
human nature in check: that an appeal
to might is the last recourse Of right and
therefore it is right to fight in a righteous
cause.
What. then. is to happen to a world
which sees that that great war, sweep
ing armies and men into unnumbered
graves, bringing misery to millions of
women and children, has been stopped
before it has attained any other re-
suits?
The world will think its sacrifices
have been wanton waste and that our
prayers for victory have been no more
than the idle wind.
And what will be the result of a
conclusion like that? Either that there
is no God at all. or that, If He allows
such things to happen to His children.
He does not care
