DIR GORDON AND THE LEAGUE

No clearer. trucr, moro convincing argument
against the league OF nations has over boon
offered than mat by Doctor Gordon, president
emeritus OF Kendall college II at once meets
cvcry criticism offered against those who oppose
the league, and constitutes q singing scathng
indictment Of so-callcd ministers OF tho gospel
who have stuluficd their high office, degragcd
their calling and denied their owp doctrine by
urging It's acceptance.
we can mover have peace between man and
man unul wc have peace between God and
man." says this true apostle OF the gospel
That Is the final and conclusive answer to
the oft-repoatcd plea But the nations Of the
earth must get together TO prevent future wars"
Future wars cannot be prevented in such
manner They caused by the nations of the
world getting together. There is but one way
known to either or God to prevent wars.
and that is by accepting the principle for which
Christ came ana for which he gave his life.
II men could compose the material affairs Of
the world and bring about an era of everlasting
peace through political agreements and under
standings, God would stand discrodited and dis
owned We would have no need of God at
ALL For man would have proven himself all
sufficient for his own requirements. The re-

As minister OF the gospel OF Jesus Christ
who has given a long life to his service, Doctor
Gordon very solemnly affrms: I'VE have no
right whatever an American people to link our
selves up with the idol worshipping nations Of
the earth. God positively forbds It,"
Aud it is true. God does positively forbid
in numerous places in his word, and on numer-
ous occasions.
Tho World has said on previous occasions
that the only force available to man by which
war can be prevented is the force exempllfied
by the man who died on Calvary In other
words, the spirit OF God. And thoro Is not
vestlge OF that spirit in the covenant of tho
league; 1t was never appealed to once through
