War and the Principles of Peace
In speaking of the large and expensive warships that are being builded in these days by the various nations, the New York World says: “The stakes “are high in the game of empire, and the final losses, “when all these four to six million-dollar warships “get together and ‘have it out,’ will be gigantic. The “next great naval battle may easily see $100,000,000 “worth of property, wrung by many years of oppressive taxation from the people, sunk in an hour.” What a terribly cruel and destructive thing war is! And how zealous every Christian should be in disseminating and cultivating the principles of peace and righteousness. By so doing we may cut off some of the cruelties that otherwise would be visited upon the children of men.
