THE WAR TO END ALL WARS!
■•*ti i . . • .
In the hearts of all is the hope and on the lips of
each, the prayer that the war just fought, will be a
war to end forever, all war.
Men, who are wise and of wide vision have already
drawn up and are still formulating laws and plans
in an indeavoi- to make permanent peace a reality;
to provide security from fear and lack for all the
peoples of the earth; to keep aggressor countries
under surveillance, so that peace will be maintained
even if this must be accomplished by force.
Will a forced peace ever be a real or a lasting
peace? Will laws and plans, however good and far
reaching, permanently abolish personal greed,
hatred, racial prejudice, lust for power, and fear,
which are the causes of war?
While legislation and organization may help re
\ J strain certain people, groups, or nations from ex
ploiting, for thejr groups, or nations, they never can
guarantee lasting peace. Lasting peace can only be
[ j maintained when each individual who goes to make
up the nation becomes aware of and eradicates from
his own consciousness every adverse thought that
ill makes for war.
This global war raged because the fears, hatreds,
j g|i lusting after power, racial and religious prejudices!
| have been allowed to lodge and grow strong in our
minds and take over the control of our words and
111 actions. These thoughts which cause conflict have
if| their inception in our minds, so it is in our minds
that the war to end all wars was fought and won.
| As a river can rise no higher than its source, so a
I nation can rise no higher than the consciousness of
e the whole of its people; for the nation is the people.
| To end war for all time we must change negative
I j thinking to positive thinking. We can do this and
I end war forever by gettnig back to understanding,
I and living on this foundation of Truth “One God and
I Father of all, who is over all, and through all, and in
I all”; and then maintaining rigid individual obedience
I to the instructions of Jesus: “Love your enemies,
j bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate
| you. and pray for them which despitefully use you
I and persecute; that ye may be the children of your
I Father.
I ; The war to end all wars is indeed one that must be
I fought within our mind. When the inner battle is
| won the outer battling will disappear. Men will dwell
, in peace and discover, “how good and how pleasant
I | it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.”

ECHOES
FROM THE
MOUNTAINS
H. Grady Hardin.
In the march of our culture we
have lost somewhere along the
way the real joy of work well
done. We are not lacking- in abil
ity to produce tremendous quanti
ties of materials, but pride in fine
craftsmanship has become very
scarce- The standards of the an-
I cient guilds that kept the mem- ]
j bers aware of the beauty and ex
cellence of the product have been
lowered by their modern counter
parts. Rare and welcomed in-!
deed are the remaining craftsmen
of today who are willing to pay
the price in training and labor
that produces a fine product—
whatever the product may be.
This change in the attitudes of
our day goes deeper than the sur- j
face observation. It is a failure
in our characters. We busy our
selves with many things and dash
madly in many directions, and we
leave no time for constructive
work and thinking. We let oth- !
ers do our thinking for us, and we
would feel lazy if we sat quietly
long enough to work out an ade
quate philosophy of life. But
thinking through a problem care- j
fully and quietly is often the |
quickest way to a real solution of
the problem. The craftsman will
produce a work of art worthy of a
master; most of us are afraid the
product of such labor would hard
ly bring the best price. Too many
will produce something for the
next market, the craftsman will
produce something for eternity.
One of the changes that must
take place within us is to set our
minds on the next generation, not j
the next season.
If Jesus Christ had had his
mind set on the next year he'
would have escaped from those
who destroyed him. But he had
his mind on eternity, and noth
ing can destroy such a life.
About 90,000,000 gallons of oil
were destroyed at the Rangoon
refineries in Burma when the
Burmese wrecked their oil king- 1
dom upon the invasion of the Jap- '
anese.
