She Sets Scriptural
Verses Against War
Mrs. Eunice Wheeler Proctor of La
Grande Quotes Biblical Verses
Magnifying Peace.
In asking The Observer to print her
'arrangement of Scripture in verse, as
'opposed to war, Mrs. Eunice Wheeler
'Proctor wrote the following letter:
I "I would like to have you publish
fwhat the Scriptures say about war.
God and Christ were for peace first
last and always. True there were wars
'in which Christian people were forced
to fight to obey the laws of th land,
'which is also a command of the Scrip
ture. When God saw war was neces
'sary He made it himself without aid
of earthly puppets. He alone has the
Tight to make war or choose in death.
Every line of the enclosed is Scrip
tural and purely so. Please publish
it The Christian Herald makes no
mistakes."
I The verse follows:
;The hand of God striketh without the
use of the rod.
For the weapons of His war are not
carnal.
But are overcome by the blood of the
lamb,
And by the word of their testimony.
He that leadeth into captivity
Shall go into captivity.
He that killeth wih the sword,
' Shall be killed by the sword.
It is only He who giveth life,
Hath the right to take it.
, It is only He who hath measured the
I water
In the hollow of His hand :
i And melted out the Heaven with the
span,
And comprehended the dust of the
I earth
'In a measure;
And weighed the mountains in scales
And the hills in a balance
That knoweth Power and mca.sares
life.
All nations are as a drop
And are counted as the small (lust in
the balance,
All nations are unto him as nothing:
They are counted as vanity.
The grass therewith, the flower fad-
eth.
The people surely are grass, But
The word of our Lord shall stand for
ever: And mighty are His works.
He maketh wars to cease unto the end
of the earth.
He breaketh the bow and cutteth
asunder the spears;
And the chariot is burned in the fire.
Rebuke the comany of spears-mcn,
And scatter the people who delight in
war.
My soul crieth for Peace, I am for
peace they; war.
He shall judge among nations and re
buke people.
Their swords shall be beaten into
plow-shares,
And their spears into pruning forks.
Nations shall not lift up swords
against nation:
Neither shall they any more team
war.
Woe unto them that devise iniquity,
And work evils upon their bed.
They covet gain and take them by
violence.
Be ye averse from war: Count ye the
cost:
Before thou huildest the tower,
I-ost ye lack means to finish it.
