The Christian World and Peace

By Editor

SAYS the Christian Cynosure: "Slowly the Christian world is learning the divine lesson of 'Peace on earth and good-will to men.'" Yes; very slowly; so slowly that the movement is not perceptible. Or, rather, the movement in the opposite direction is plainly perceptible. But how is it that the "Christian world" should be even "slowly" learning that lesson? How can it be Christian before it has learned the first principles of Christianity? Isn't the term "Christian" used a little indiscriminately nowadays? We think so.
