THE PRINCE, SOF PEACE By EEONARD A. BAKKETT In an address atMiddletown, Conn., Woodrow Wilson said, "It is a strenuous thing this, of living the life of a free people; and we cannot •scape the burden of our inheritance." Our forefathers sacrificed life and material possessions for the preservation of our liberty, which is secure only in times of peace. To preserve peace is perhaps our most ancred obligation. It is for us to emphasize the grave importance of Our fathers' vision of peace, remembering that without a vision the people perish. What is that vision? We have had many panaceas ofiered for permanent peace, nationally and . internationally, but all have failed. We thought that the , last great war was fought to end ' wars and make the world safe for democracy. A cufsory review of European conditions and those in the Orient today clearly convinces lis that we have failed hopelessly. We have tried protocols, peace courts, signed agreements, and used many other devices which were scrapped in the hour of crisis. The world lacks confidehce. Nations grow in accord with national spirit, and when that national spirit lacks confidence in the word and deeds of other nations, all is distrust and confusion. To the vision of peace bequeathed to us by our fathers we must add a sincere element of loyalty to the sacredness of personality in every nation. Tyrainny belongs not to one tyrant but to an anonymous mass of humanity we fail to identify as human personalities. In other words no man will respect the body of a man unless he believes that the body is the temple of an eternal spirit. We may ciy, "Peace, peace," from now until the end of time, but wars will not cease until men everywhere acknowledge the eternal soul which has its abode in the body. We may handle tangible tilings roughly: but not intangible things. We owe an international responsibility to the sacredness of person* aUty. We need not "write our wills across the sky in stars" to earn our freedom from the enrse of war, but we most leave the Christian principle: "I am my brother's keeper" deep in the heart of the jtforld. Mary Pickford wrote a little book --"Why Not Try God?" The writer never read the book, but the title suggests the question--Why not try the Prince of Peace? Why not try the life-power of the Prince of Peace Who brought light to life? It was of Him the last of the Roman emperors to persecute the Christians cried, when dying: "O Galilean, thou hast conquered!" We would have international peace if men everywhere tried to understand and Use these words of the Galilean: ^ **Peace I leave with you, my peace .1 give unto you. Not as the world giveth, give I unto you." v r, "Unless we realize the Supremacy of spiritual forces, the pallhearers who have borne forth other dead civilizations wait at our door." 6 Western Newspaper Union.
