Principles for Lasting Peace

By Editor

IN these troublous times the following from one of America's greatest preachers (now dead) is worthy of consideration:—

"Justice and Liberty are pilots that do not lose their craft. They steer by a divine compass. They know the hand that holds the winds and the storms. It is always safe to be right; and our business is not so much to seek peace as to seek the causes of peace. Expedients are for an hour, but principles for the ages. . . . Nothing can be permanent and nothing safe in this exigency that does not sink deeper than politics or money. We must touch the rock, or we shall never have firm foundations."
