T H ER E IS N O PEAC E W IT H O U T FORCE As we approach this Christmas season we study with forboding the time-honored phrase “ Peace on earth, good will toward men.’’ For the first time in several years we really have peace in most of the world and we hope that it will be maintained, but it is not likely that we can have peace without force when we as individuals and as nations depend on force to gain our ends and are continually faced with force administered from others in our daily lives. Having been reared on force, how can we expect to have peace without force? The life o f Christ gives us our only hope for peace without coercion and display of power. From the time we are born until we are put away in our last resting place we are con tinually required by power greater than our own to bow to the wills o f others. Much o f the force that is administered against us is for the benefit o f ourselves or others, but nevertheless it is force. W e are forced to abide by traditions, rules and regulations set up by others and if we violate them we are punished. Parents gain mastery over their children, they hope, either by physical force, greater will power or threats o f force. W e are under the same influence of power all of our adult lives. The nations of the world are continually jockeying for position to gain power and are not easily influenced by altruistic or idealistic considerations. Force is the only means we seem to have at our command for maintaining peace and o p position in the world as a nation because we have never learned any other method of living with our fellowmen. Perhaps someday our lives will be regulated by love and brotherhood.
