speakers. Adding emphasis and point

some Of the greatest orators that ever

qusnce It was impossible to resist.
The most striking evidence Of this
power was demonstrated In Patrick
Henry's famous speech In favor Of his
war RESOLUTIONS In the convention at
Richmond, March 20, 1878. IN that
great speech the sentence, Gentle

glitter and pomp have been stripped
| from 1t before the eyes Of mankind.
The worst that poets and prophets Of
righteousness have said OF 1t has been
outstripped in actual horror. Shelly's
impassioned outcries against war are
too feeble to express the universal
execration which has been poured
out upon the gigantic conflict in Eu-
rope Apologists for war still linger,
put the former praisers of war now
hide their heads. They never meant
this kind of. terror. Imagine even
General Bernhard venturing now to
write: War Is as divine and necessa-
ry as eating and drinking" And men
Of higher type, like the late Ad-
miral Mahan, who used to speak OF
war as something repulsive, to be
sure, but yet needful instrument in
the providential government OF the
world, would not today have the hardi-
hood to maintain that doctrine openly.
Good may be wrung out Of evil, we
admit; the wrath Of man may be
made to praise the Eternal; but the
evil itself can not be challenged. War
is the scourge Of the human race. II
there be any doubt Of this before, the
two years Just past have forever de-
stroyed 1t.
II Is plain now that those hard
headed "realists" Of war were capable
Of enormous miscalculations, and in
many ways acted like dreamers. In
particular did they make one fatai
omission in their reconing. They cat
alogued all the information to be had
from all lands. They had pigeonholes
for knowledge Of all kinds. But they
forgot the soul Of man.
This suggests the one thing that
has been permanent in all the flux
Of the two years behind US. The
moral judgements Of the world nave
stood firm. Nothing which has since
happened has altered them. The con-
science Of mankind responds today
as instantly and sensitively az It did
in those first days Of August, 1914, to
the challenge made to It. by those
who took the first steps in the war.
