WHAT MIGHT BE DONE WITH THE MONEY WASTED IN WAR.
By Stebbins
Give me the money that has been spent in war and, I will purchase every foot of land upon the globe; I will clothe every man, woman, and child, in an attire that kings might be proud of; I will build a school-house upon every hillside and in every valley over the whole habitable earth, and will supply that school-house with a competent teacher; I will build an academy in every town and endow it, a college in every State and fill it with able professors; I will crown every hill with a church consecrated to the promulgation of the gospel of peace; I will support in its pulpit an able teacher of righteousness, so that on every Sabbath morning the chime on one hill shall answer to the chime on another round the earth’s broad circumference, and the voice of prayer and the song of praise shall ascend like a universal holocaust to Heaven.—Stebbins.
