Keep Cool Heads in Time of War
It is to be hoped that the citizens of the United States will heed the admonition of President Wilson to keep cool heads in this present strenuous situation which exists in the world. The population of this country is made up of many nationalities, and it is very natural for these various classes to sympathize with their fellow countrymen in the struggle in which they may be engaged. Let us remember that as Seventh-day Adventists our message is to the people of every land and of every language. Let us avoid the cherishing of partisan feelings. Let us not employ partisan terms, nor indulge in strong language. Let us remember that God has a message for us to give to the world. He has committed that message to us, and we should carry it in his spirit. The war in Mexico has almost been lost sight of in the overshadowing catastrophe which has befallen Europe. We are glad to note by the latest reports that Carranza, the leader of the Constitutionalist forces, has arrived at an amicable understanding with Carbajal, the provisional president, who proposes to turn over the city of Mexico without resistance. This agreement affords a basis for the long-looked-for peace. Let us pray that this long-suffering and unhappy republic may soon find domestic peace and tranquillity.
