C Question: Is it possible for a Christian man to kill a fellowman in war I and still be a Christian, even in the 1 | act of killing? - * Answer: It is the purpose of God 1 I that men live in peace and harmony ' and brotherly upbuilding. But if men a I and nations organize themselves to overthrow tljat purpose and to %et 1 ! up the rule' of- brute force in the place j of kindness; and substitute aggrandizement. deception and frightfulness , in the place of brotherhood; and refuse to heed the patient persuasion and better sentiments of well instructi ed people: and deliberately fly into 1 the face of the rights of the nations, 'great and small; then it becomes the 1 Hntv of a neace-ioving. God , i fearing^ people to rise in their might and destroy that ruthless spirit of , oppression and injustice, by the use , j of the only power such a misguided . j spfrjt is willing to heed, namely force. ' unlimited force, unstinted force, until the purpose of God is reasserted among men. To do this means death; it means killing men; it means doing the business of killing completely and thoroughly until evil is overthrown and Justice made dominant. > When men do this, not to gain sel fish ends, but as champions of the . rights of mankind, they need not > think they are surrendering their Christian spirit nor their fellowship X; !laude Shafer, famous cartoonist of rith God. They are working together rith God to establish a world in ighteousneas. Therefore, a Christian ought to be he best possible soldier, because he tas a divine motive and a God-sent aission. So help us God, we are cowards if te plead our Christian principles as n excuse for softening our blow. A. M. TRAW1CK. Editor's Note: The above question ras asked and answered at the Y. M. '.
