' STAATS, Editor The Naperville Garage MOPS Lighting Electric Detailed Specifications Now, what does Christianity say about war? Christianity teaches that war is s sin. Christianity stands for peace. Christ is the Prince of Peace. The public proclamation irom heaven 0! the human birth or the Savior was: l‘fiiory to God in the highest. and on earth poses. good will toward men" Christianity stands for absolute devo- tion to Christ. This means absolute intellectual and practical assent to the laws oi Christ. The laws have hoes summed up by Christ Hinsolt: Thou shalt lows the Lord thy God with all thy heart. and with all thy soul. and with all thy mind. This is‘ the first and great commandant. And tho ssoond is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thysoit. Thus is war iorbiddoa hy Christianity. Tho Church. at course. tsachss the sauna doctrins.

No. it is not a failure, if we consider the subject from the point of view or numbers. There are far ‘more Christiana not engaged in war. who hate war. who never will permit themselves to he engaged in war, than there are people engaged in the war in Europe.‘ Secondly, it is not a failure if we consider something of the great est importance. a fact that has been forgotten by many of those who say Christianity has failed. But has not the Church been eh~ sued in war? Members of the Church have. Not earlier than the yes:- 1290 prayers were said by some Bishops hiking the blessing of God upon the turns of the medisevsi knights. in ‘some countries the arms of the Cm- sadere were blessed. But in all these prayers it was explicitly stated or im- plied that the arms were not to be used in nu unjust cause. They were to he need to protect the unjustly opâ€" pressed, end to repeii attack upon Christianity. But in this connection we must bear in mind what the univ versai Church says, in the words of Pope Benedict XIV. “if-rights have been violated, there are other proced’ urea, other means to repel] them. than war.

The political history of Austria shows that for many years there has been more lust of empire than Chris- 1tinnity among the leaders of the peoâ€" ple. The so-called Christianity of Rus- sin is so imperfect and corrupt that the Russians cannot be referred to as representatives oi’ Christianity, and the argument has no bearing with re!- erence to them. The materialism and greed 01' England are notorious. Their greatest Biblical scholar died a month or so ego. after having devoted his life to misinterpretlng the Bible along materialistic lines.

My own experience ea 3 aiudent oi aeverai oi ,the patent German echolure has con- 1winced me that they considered their own personal conciuaiona to be more true than facts. The eiteet or their unwarranted elimination oi the superL natural and mlraculoua has been felt throughout the world, and the injury done Christianity line been incaicuia- hie. Every student or preacher who wialied to he considered "up to date" in Biblical interpretation was a blind follower of those blind guidea.
