Principles, Not Fighting the Man! \zainst Them--The Effect of War On Missions. Re G. 1. Campbell, of Queen Street Methodist. Church, recently put a 'question box in his church and on before a large audi- considered. four that had been deposited in it. His answers ereated mich interest and justified the innova- ton. Question 1--Has Germany any chris. tian soldiers fighting in this war? 9 It German strocities as reported be trie and {i German" soldiers are alike Ve sponsible, my answer would be! "Na," | I'aking the statement of Von Bern hardie that this is a struggle for | world power or annihilation, the es! sence of the teaching of Neitasche that religion is valor, then insofar as this | is the spirit of Germany then 1 de clare that this is paganism. It is the shirit + of 'Napoleon and not of Christ: I, therefore,| answer that Ger- | many's soldiers dp not represent ! christianity é i Question 2.---ShowNd soldiers of any nation who are strivihg to. lead Christian lives feel fully Justified in! going to war, and taking human life?! The main point of the question is invalved in the word christian. Christ never openly condemned war. He never forbade His disciples the use of arms. He never advocated non-resistence with arms. He never tven. commented on the wars of the Old Testament. He said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor: is thygell. How could England be| suid to love her neighbor as herself | and not be at war to-day? Yes, the christian soldier for the' {ime being "does not fight the man' Lint the principle the man represents. He is therefore God's minister of justice while engaged in a righteous war . Question 3.--What effect will the present war have on foreign mis-| ions ? ! Connt Okuma, premier of Japan, besides other-Teading officials have recently endorsed the building of St. Luke's hospital as a christian mis- sionary institution, and Sherwood ~unday might, ence, 1 Eddy reports a great awakening in China with evangelistic meetings be-! ing held in the sacred city attended | by thousands of students and busi ness men, with increased demand f the Holy Seriptures. He himse:r was welcomed to China by Yuan Shi Kai, the president, and Li Yuan Hung, the vice president of the re- | public. Islam has no fear of a di- vided Christianity but greatly fears' » mnited Christianity. If the war would unify the forces of Christian, «uy, tO€L wee erect would be in- creased interest. The "'scrap of pa- per" would haye a most beneficial in- {fluence upon the non-christian world. pi Juastion 4~-What did you think. of Dean Starr's statement in this church that 'no! professional sports were en- Is that trne- ! lead us to' believe that .very few ! professional sports were enlisting, There isa sportsman's battalion of 1,100 men now in training at Horn LC 'hurch, and the war office has raised the number to 1,600. As soon as that number is reached a 'second 'battalion of 1,600 will be raised, which will be commanded by - Col. ' Paget, and one of our Wesleyan min. isters, Rev. Frank Edwards will act as chaplain. An appeal is now he- ing made to the footballers to join. So far as I know no. great numbers of our professional sports are joining the colors.
