The INNER CAUSE OF THE WORLD-WAR
Geo. Henry Dole Speaking of Current Events Before the
Sermon Sunday, Made the Following Comment Upon
the Inner Causes of the World War.

the war have arisen II each nation
had lived up to the doctrine taught by
the Lord, All things whatsoever ye
would that men should do to you, do
ye even so TO them The inner, the
highest, the spiritual cause Of the war
Is the rejection OF Christian doctrine
philosophy Of a corrupt school OF
teachers.
From this consideration can we not
see, in the broadest and deepest sense,
how Jesus, and He alone, is tho Saviour
Of the world2 Salvation from our
evils is found only in His teachings.
Because the internal cause of war is
the rejection OF a fundamental Chris
tian precept, the war must so on until
the doctrine that might is right---that
a great State violates no moral law
in taking territory violently from a
weaker State--is laid down as was the
doctrine Of secession at Appomattox.
