THE AMERICAN CHURCHES AND WORLD PEACE.
The following paragraph gives the conclusions arrived at by representatives of thirty-four religious communions and organisations at a Study Conference at Columbus, Ohio, in March of the present year;— “We hold that the Churches of Christ should be a mighty dynamic in abolishing war. War denies the Fatherhood of God. scorns the brotherhood of man, mocks the sacredness of human life, is merciless to helpless women and children. War means ,everything that Jesus did not mean, and means nothing that He did mean. We therefore hold that the Churches should condemn the resource to the war system as sin, and should henceforth refuse, as institutions, to sanction it, or to be used as agencies in its support. We hold that the Churches should support and sustain with moral approval individuals who, in the exercise of their right of conscience, refuse to take part in war or in military training;.”—Exchange.
