Declaring that a peace induced bv
fear of superior ornaments is but
2 peace Of compulsion the Rev. E.
Anger Powell, Christ Church rec
tor, decried war.
To condemn war is not enough
Trades fail because they are but
sound and fury signifying nothing.
The campaign for peace to succeed
must prove the utter futility of war.
The temple of peace will not be built
: until its foundations have been laid
in the hearts and consciences of
men," DR.. Powell said
Becoming Christian"
Blasting the giving Of church
blessings on war, DR.. Frank S. c.
Wicks, paster of the All Souls Uni
tartan Church, asserted that at last
churches are becoming Christian"
and not blessing war.
The word Armistice' has a SIMS
ter sound. It means brief cessation
sof arms If that is what is meant
we hardly can celebrate this day
he said.
Dr.. Wicks described the threaten
ing war clouds of today and said
that an American plebiscite would
show the nation against war.
Settle the economic problem and
we will have no wars. l do not be-
leye our beloved country will be
involved in the present war. l be-
lleVe ! can see the daWning of a
new peace Dr. Wicks concluded.
%. Sees Pathway to Peace
The Rev. r. M. Thompson, of
the Northwood Christian Church.
said the pathway to peace was only
in the destruction of the war
,'system."
Why doesn't Muss olini vindicate
. his code of the Black Shirts by
challenging Halle Selassie to a
duel?" he questioned.
Personally l do not believe the
future of peace or war is with either
Mussolini of William Randolph
Hearst The future is with Jesus
Christ" he said.
Everything worth while has
cost something" asserted DR.. R. M.
Dodrill, of the Broadway Baptist
Church, and the progress of the
world has been made by the blood
y of thousands of battlefieldS."
Speaks of Cross
He spoke of the cross and its use
ri f%, .
the war dead and said, The cross
ever has been the emblem of Sacri-
ice. without a great cross, q great
suffering, there has never been a
crown or there never could have
been redemption"
Grim satire is seen in the monu-
ment OF the Unknown Soldier by the
Rev. Guy O, Carpenter Irvington
M. f. Church pastor and former
Navy chaplain.
He is the unknown. This is the
result OF a nation accepting war.
This is wars most appropriate
monumental boy loved by parents
and friends, possessing a future
turned into mass of broken and
unacceptable flesh" said DR.. Car
penter in speaking of the grave of
the Unknown Soldier.
Scraps of Paper"
Peace pacts were declared not
more than scraps of paper in
world filled with fear and with am
bilious Napoleons," by DR.. Adam S.
Woodward, Meridian Street Meth
odiSt Church pastor, today.
IF anything has been proven
= adequately it is the futility of de-
pending upon force of arms for Sc
curlty. The only power that is able
to make permanent conquest Of the
world is the power of understanding,
confidence, sympathy and helpful
service said DR.. Woodland
The Church and Christianity
have an enormous task in creating
the atmosphere of peace. When they
have done that the method and ma
chinery will take care of them
selves, he said in conclusion.
Not Always Hate
Hate always will not lash the ma
lions of the earth into war. The
peoples OF the earth will rise up and
oVer-rule their rulers. Americans
never can be isolated again from the
world of nations said the Rev.
Ephraim d. Lowe of the Olive
Branch Christian Church
Thou Shalt Not Kill" was the
theme of the ArmiStice Day address
OF the Rev. c. l. Roush, BrookSide
united Brethren Church pastor.
We must take this Sixth Com
mandment from the tablets of the
law and write it so indelibly upon
the hearts of men that it will para
I'VE the hand of any man or nation
who would edStroy a neighbor."
Dr. RouSh said
CrltlclSlng Armistice Day parades

veterans should not have a place
OF Importance in the marching group,
the Rev. Donald W. Conrad of the
FIRST Moravian Episcopal Church.
urged that disabled veteran and
Gold Star mothers be given places
of prominence.
Leave the dress uniform out of
the parade. They are only part of
the great mass of war propaganda.
Put IN the line the widows of vet
Grams. the sick from the government
hospitals, the manned veterans" he
said.
Wars injustice and the disturbed
industrial order caused by wars aft
ermath, were scored by DR.. Charles
Thomas Alexander, Roberts Park
