AN OPEN LETTER
To the Men and Women in Every Ma
ton Who are Trying to Fellow
Christ A Call to the Relisi-
Gus Society, Of Friends
II RrsInsn

Out of the depths of our common
sorrow is heard universal cry for
help. How long shall the peoples con-
tinue 10 murder each other? They
entered the present war to defend the
weak and to Danish injustice. They
continued it, in order that injustice
should not triumph. that the sacrifice
OF heroes should not be in vain. In
thankfulness for those who have fal-
len and with great hope fer the future
was born the determination TO per-
sist unto the end. And yet every one
desires peace-if only it will be just
and lasting one.
We are confronted with serious
questions to be settled concerning
Justice, liberty and peace; yet the
most serious question for the world
IS the opposition of Jesus Christ to
the ways of men. His way is to pro-
mote Justice. liberty and peace not by
might. nor by power, but by His
Spirit
Let the disciples OF GhTtst give
themselves to prayer. either in inter-
national conference, or in small
groups, or in private devotions. Then
a Joyous and fresh confidence that
God is in the midst of His people,
mighty to save, will bring the only
peace worth having the peace OF
based not upon military con-
quests. but upon the good will of all
peoples inspired by common spirit,
the Spirit Of Christ.
War sows only the seed of hatred
which can never produce the fruit of
peace.
Every one who wishes to express
approval of this call, write to
