In the first place he assumes
that the w o M should be divided

that one division should prepare

t o defend itself against the en.
croachm ents o f each o f the
others.
I '1" not find in his
printed remarks any q u ota tion
'
from the Bible, justifying such a
/ > position, and I d o n o t remem-
.]y: ber seeing any such argum ent
in the New Testam ent. Since he
* / says th at the church “ ought t o ”
indorse a "p ro g ra m o f prepara
tion for the defense of this na
tion ” it is bu t fiur t o presume
th a t he speaks from a religious
standpoint.
Here are a few qu ota tion s from
the New Testam ent th at indicate
t o m y m ind th at the a b ov e line
o f reasoning is incorrect. “ T hou
ahalt n o t kill,” " T h o u Shalt love
th y neighbor as thyself.” " L o v e
y o u r eneynics,” "T h ey th at take
the sw ord shall perish w ith.the
s w o r d .” P rom these and other
teachings it seems t o me that
the field o f thecbnrch is the w hole
w orld instead of any local
division marked o ff by im aginary
b ou n d a ry lines.
H um anity is
w orld-w ide, and practically the
same in each and every nation,
■ a ) Christianity should be the
same.
They should know no
boun dary lines, geographically.
Neither Jesus' n or any of the
apostles show ed any regard for
artificial boun dary lines, nor did
any o f .them hint by w ord o r
action th a t tem poral pow ers
should by any means endeavor
t o defend themselves against
other tem poral pow ers. Farther,
it is well know n th a t nearly all,

Jesas could have destroyed his
enemies b y super-natural means,

it w a s outside the province of
Christianity.

P atrotism and C h r i s t i a n i t y .
Patriotism as generally under
à
stood , cannot be reconciled w ith
Christianity.
P atriotism is all
right if properly interpreted, but
when it is governed by artificial
boundary lines it is m orally
w ron g. T o illustrate further

This, and hundreds of similar
instances, proves the futility o f
m aking patriotism based on
artificial lines harm onize w ith
Christianity. In case o f w ar be
tween the t w o countries, these
t w o children, even the members
o f the same church, w ould be
enemies. O f course this is ridic
ulous, but it sh ow s the logical
conclusion w.em ust reach when
