CONDITIONS OF PEACE
A peace system, if it is ( to endure, must set out to order peace and to establish it with judgment and with justice, writes Mr Douglas Jerrold in his pew bool:, “ They That Take the Sword.” It must be dynamic, a constructive offering of the mind and heart of all Christian men to God, a prayer on the lips of . the whole of our civilisation. That and nothing else is the practical politics of peace. The end will be neither case, security, nor a passive quietism, but an insistence on the world-wide recognition of the rights of the human personality, and on the right ordering of all the societies of men to the end that all men can so live as to find in their daily lives the means of fulfilling their divine nature in the service of God.
