THE LIGHT OF THE AGES
It is now nearly 2000 years since the birth of
Christ, and yet we are fiercely engaged in the great
est war of all time. To what extent this fearful phys
ical carnage may finally result in a spiritual uplift
of the nations of the world w ill be largely determin
ed by the terms of the peace.
Julius Caesar fought for Sicily and control of the
Mediterranean against the Carthagenians on the
same bloody Tunisian fields where now the Axis and
Allies contend. A few leagues to the north then
arose the star of Bethlehem. Much has happened
since those days. The conclusions we may draw
from those events, and the logic of the years, can
only be refuted by an abiding faith in the success of
the teachings of the Prince of Peace. All that we
can cling to is faith in man’s high ultimate destiny
and the final adoption of the principles of the Great
Teacher.
Through the long travail of years, Christendom
has grown to acceptance by the one-third of the peo
ples of the .earth and is the controlling influence of
the entire world. Bhuddistic rites with their de
pressing effects claim the devotion of over 300,000,-
000. Mohammedism holds 200.000,000 and Shinto
ism of Japan and other strange cults still supply rites
and ritualisms for the rest of the human family.
Confucism, which is more of a philosophy than a
religion, is sound and the great leaders of China are
Christian and adopting the Christian ways of life.
Except for a temporary departure from God in Rus
sia and the efforts of Naziism to destroy the God of
the fathers of Germany, Europe is still in the land
of our Christendom. England and its possessions,
America, North and South, Africa and the Dutch
Netherlands, Australia and the South Seas where
missionaries and commerce have carried the gospel,
all belong to the same family we call Christendom,
and its powerful influences.
During the twenty centuries Carthage was buried
beneath the dust. Greece, with its magnificant cul
ture, philosophy, art, architecture, literature, sculp
ture and democracy faded to ruins. Rome, with its
laws, literature and power became only historic rec
ord. The Arabian empire was reduced to tribal bed
ouins, and for 1500 years the Dark Ages enveloped
the world. All that maintained the spiritual life of
the people were priests and monastaries and these
opened the gateways of the renaissance and the tre
mendous achievements of the last 500 years. Had
Paul received the call to go to Asia instead of Mace-
donia, Europe and the Western World might still
have been the dark continent instead of Asia. The
mystery of it all is confounding, but God moves in
mysterious ways his wonders to perform.
All this is history and, as confusing as it may be,
the lights of Christendom still shine as brightly as
did the star over the manger. Under tht light and
the lights of history and experience, we now face
the greatest problem of time—that of making the
peace. This will require the best wisdom and the
loftiest purposes and the noblest spiritual force that
can be found in all the allied nations. Let us hope
that by the employment of all that is good and great
in the leaders of our time a peace that is final may
be attained. And this cannot be secured unless the
spirit of the Prince of Peace sits at the countil table.
