TOPICS OF THE DAY.
Peace Resolutions “The trouble is that the kind of that 'sx&tzy of our church assemblies pass do not help the of peace nt aIL The only persons they really help tJhw dictators. I remember well the way in which a leading memoir of the Cabinet and a deeply Christian man—said to me that the resolutions our aasemblies passed did not promote the cause of peace, but simply damaged it. For they were telegraphed across to the dictators, who came to the conclusion that they stood in no danger of interference by Britain, that they could entirely disregard Britain, and that they could pursue their policies of aggression without the risk of any opposition from Britain. It is rather a terrifying thought that our peace resolutions may be, in a measure, responsible for the outrage on Abyssinia. Anyhow, I will venture to say that Lord Davies with his advocacy of a court of equity, backed by an international police force, is doing far more to further the cause of peace than church assemblies do by passing extremist resolutions which do not represent the mind of the more responsible men and which certainly do not represent the mind of the rank and file of Christian people.”—The Rev. Dr. J. D. Jones, eminent English Congregational minister. -
