TIVE Church, l1. declares a writer ,r,., ,w. v
c. in "Thc Christian Work. IS
responsible for guiding the
thoughts of men. And it is because the
Church has fallen short OF the ideals I'M
piled in this responsibility that war is in
the world to-day. 1t is fundamental as
sumption Of the nations that "every nation
is law unto itself" Out of this assump-
ton have developed others, equally at
variance with the precepts Of Christianity
And these assumptions the churches have,
Sometimes tacitly, sometimes openly, ad-
mitted as valid and justifable."
The Bible has been quoted in an effort
to back up this tenderness toward prin-
ciples upon which, in the opinion Of this
writer, militarism is reared-principles
which set themselves in direct opposition
to Christ's fundamental precept: Love
thy neighbor as thyself.'
The worst of the situation, in his opin-
ion, is that the churches, by way of justi-
flying this defiance of the philosophy Of
Christ, have appealed directly to the Bible.
"Their fundamental thesis has been that
the Bible, in all its parts, is the infallible
word of God, and that whatever the Bible
anywhere enjoins or permits must be ac-
cepted as in accordance with the divine
will" It is easy, he finds, on such a basis
as this, "by explicit quotations from the
Bible to justify all these dogmas of Mill
taristic nationalism and all the cruelties
and atrocities which grow out Of them
If, it is argued, all portions Of the Bible
arc equally inspired, and if everything APP
proved in the Bible especially in the Old
Testament) is lawful for Christians, then
it would be impossible consistently to con-
denim anything that the Germans have
done in this war as wrong. Then the edi.
torial, after sketching these points, pur-
sues IT'S theme as follows:

ITO WHICH Havelock Ellis thus grace
J. fully replies:

taken into adequate account those germs OF
