tianity has proved itself to be not only
the greatest thing in the world, but it
is what all the world needs. The soul
of the world was Christian, and the
heart of the world was afiame with
mercy and with love. That's the ans
wer.
And what is the thought that is in
the great heart of the world now that
the guns are silent? Is it thought of
conquest? Is it thought of greed
and avarice and revenge?
Far, indeed, from all that is the
thought that is in the heart of the
world today. Its thought is still to
succor, to aid and to serve. It's thought
is to lift the fallen; to make all men
free. And there is even a desire to
soften its justice with mercy to foe
that has waived all claim to mercy
by his own nameless actions.
When the heart of the world was
pagan, love held only a small place
there, and mercy had no place at all.
But, when Christ walked in Galilee
He put both love and mercy into the
worlds heart. Nineteen hundred
years have not taken away that which
was then implanted. Not wars nor
hate nor greed have been able to
drive it out.
Nineteen hundred years is not a
long time as time is reckoncd. 1t is
but a breath in the infnity of God
And already are the nations of the
earth come together in brotherhood.
True, it was through travail and suf-
fering and sorrow that they came to-
gether; it was through fire and blood.
But, sorrow is the mother of under
standing, and it is alone through the
darkness of death that we can see the
light of life.
Never before has the world suffered
so much; never before has it loved so
much. We learn to love by loving.
Now that the great heart of the
world is infiamed with love, man will
accomplish with ease very many
things that he has tried in vain to do
before. He will build many bridge,
tunnel many a mountain and dig
many harbor that were never
thought of in the centuries of the past.
The land and the waters of the earth
and the sky above them both will
throb with his restless energies.
In the centuries of the past millions
died of famine in one part of the
world, while the other part ate and
drank and made merry in ignorance
of it. Never again can a thing like
that happen. The specter of famine
has haunted the earth for the last
time.
It shall come to pass, indeed, that
the supreme thought in the heart of
the world shall be the service that
man s;,gll be able to render his fel-
low-maii.
There will be small room on the
earth then for those who preach the
doctrine of hate, who oppose order and
the law, who spend their lives in STIR
ring up discomfort, and who would de-
stroy peace and happiness through
chaos and anarchy.
Into the last dark corners the love
of the great heart of the world is ev-
