THE CRISIS IN EIIRUPE

Can Christianity Pre- vent Another World War? .

The following sermon was deliv- -mi to a large congregation at st. James Presbyterian Church yester- ...iy morning by the Rev. Dr. J. Keir Fraser of Albcrton, P. E. I.. who recently returned from an ex- tended tour of Southern United States:

Isaiah 9:8. "He shall be called the Prince of Peace."

This is the God of Christians. Jesus came to bring peace to a dis- tracbed, strife-torn, war—cursed world. This was the prophecy a ti xsand years before his advent:-—

‘lfe shall be called the Prince of Peace."

How eagerly that bloody ago in human history must have listened to such a prediction! Because it was a war-mad ago the only road to glory was the road of battle, the only hero the soldier—I-fe alone could capture the cheers of the crowd. Poets sang of him, litera- ture wrote of him, monuments were erected to his memory. and history was merely the annals of the deeds of men of war.

Isaiah presents a. different pic- ture. He announced the coming of the "Prince of Peace" when na- tions shall beat their swords into llloughsharcs and their spears into llrunlng hooks. when there shall be ‘no more smoking cities and ruined homes and lonely women and or- Pllnncd children, but a world re- deemed from the curse of war.

The “Prince of Peace" was the hero of whom the angels sang that night over the star-lit plains of Bethlehem. They said He had come. the “Prince of Peace" had arrived. ~

“Glory to God in the highest. and at last peace on earth and Kaodwlll toward menl’ Not war but D9309; not hate but love; not fear but irieiiciship—"Peaoe on earth. Rood will toward men.“

It was real peace that the "Prince of Peace" came to brim- not a. counterfeit. shun peace but e reel pence—I.nd there can be no real peace until man lays down his Elna against his Maker. until be

reconciled to his Heaven- ly Father. There can be no real , Dfiilce in the world until then is

Peace in the heart. And so

who were going out into the wild- est storm that ever broke on earth. lie said; “Pence. I leave with you, My peace I give unto yOu."

"And so I say. Jesus the "Prince of Peace" did not disappoint the world.

No. but the world has disappoint- ed I-lim. sadly disappointed Him. It has listened to the angels‘ song for 1900 years and has gone on fighting. It has lxked into the very face of the “Prince of Peace" and while doing so has laid its hand on a sword.

Even today while we worship in this church and sing the song of the angels we are a distracted. strife—torn. war-mad world. Twenty years ago we were saying that the great world war was a “war to end war," that we were going to make war so terrible, so costly in money and so deadly in its toll of life, that it would stagger the most blood-thirsty and aicken them for- ever of the horrors of war. We thought we could destroy war by fighting war, by waging war on war. This is the glib phrase that was on all of our lips twenty years ago. 'wo glossed the honors of war by saying: "Well, this is the last." ‘"I'hL3 is the end of war."

But we were mistaken. They have been fighting in Europe ever since. and in China. we have been fearing a war between Turkey and our own Empire. And many think that the next great Wu’ Will be I war between Japan and the U. 5.. while others say it will be Russia and Germany on one side and the rest of Europe on the other side. But in any case this we must all admlt——that today society is , ked with explosives, and there needs but a spark to set the world afiame. Then we thought we could stop was by mutual agreement, by na- tional compacts. by treaties. by I Mague of Nations. by a world court; but we have found that thus far they have been of little use, for the simple reason that nations like individuals are not yet cured of selfishness. and so long I5 llllmlvll

them e.ll—lt is the only civilisation-builder. And it must be pure Christianity. Pasenlzed Christianity will not do. It is only a. counterfeit. It must be the reli- unadulterated- stmlght from the lips and life of the “Prince of Peace."

There are three things Christian- ity can do to end war and estab- lish peace:

Flris it can regenerate the indi-

Thls is where you must begin if you are to build up a high type of society is made up of individuals, and it can never be any better than the social units which compose it. I-fence you must begin by regenerating the individual. If we are to have it war-free world we must get rid of war-mead people. We must make the war-mad peace-

civilization.

And this. it seems to me, is more important today than it ever was before for the reason that the world today is turning from autocracies to representative In a. democracy the cltinen ls freer. outward restraints have been abolished. And as they diminish inward restraints must be developed. Otherwise you will have Now Christianity builds these inner restraints and enables the individual to govern himself. it makes society

This is the first thing Christian- ity does-—bring in peaoe—it regenerates the individual. It recognizes the fact that for civ- ilization to climb citizenship must improve. and that the only way to improve cltizeiisbip is to improve the individuals that compose the citizenship. This even the dullest mind.

This is a second thing Christian- ity does to end war and establish pegyoe and build up civilization. The Peace" has but one law for His social order and that is the law of love.

must have a moral world. so long as there is wrong and injustice somebody is going to light.

—And the only enduring basis of morals is religion. A morality that is built on expediency is rotten. Men must recognize that what is immoral for the individual can never be moral for the nation, and what is wrong for a. men can never be right for a. world. Christianity has an inexorable code of morals. Its God is ‘coly; He is fllhicous.— And that is why today it is trying to create a civilization where a weak Belgium is as safe as a strong Germany, and where rights are de- termined not by force of arms but by the eternal principles of truth and justice.

Christianity then does these three i.hings—it regenerates the individual. it carries the Golden Rule into world relations, it builds goodwill on moral integrity-and because it does these three things it is the only hope for the civiliza- tion of the future.

This civilization is coming as sure as you are sitting in your pew this morning. It is coming as cer- tainly es tomorrow. Christ is on the way: don't make any mistake as to thltt.

However. there is something be- yond peace.

We speak of world-peace as if it was the final goal of civilization. but the world’ might be war-free and yet not be civilised. Christ is called the "Prince of Peace." Why not the King of Peace? A “prlnce" is not 5, king. The Prince of Wales until recently was not the King; he was merely on the way to be- come a king. And so world peace im merely a. stage. an incident. in human progress. Christ 15 HOT- through when He has ended war. Beyond Bethlehem lies Calvary- Beyond the era when men cease to kill each other is the me WW3!) men will “lay down their lives 101‘ the brethren." Beyond the day when we shall “beat our swords in- to pioughshares and go to Wm‘ no more" is the day when—-to use St. Paul's words-—wc shall llldile l-hill ‘fliecause Christ died for all then were all dead. and that He died for all that they who live should not henceforth live unto themselvfifi but unto Him that died for them gnd rose again." And as St. John gays: “Hereby perceive we the love of God because He laid down His life for us: and we Ollzlll '0 “W down our lives for the brethren." World-peace may be 6 Km“ W35‘ glng, but it is not an unmixed blessing unless it leads to this. If peace is to abide we must K0 be‘ yond peace. The reason man re- turns is that we have been sat- isflcd to have a. peace of comP1'°' mise. a peace that is not built on righteousness. But so long as wrong remains there will be WET-

Qualified by goodness, by his rule- slon “for God was with him" by known purpose, by infinite love. As wont Jesus, so must his followers go. The test of our following lies in our carrying out his programme.

thing we may count on is our long- ing for peace although lives are sacrificed to mammon tundcr the delusion that mammon will give peace—peace as 3. river. Is that our conception? The imagery of the prophet is the peace of motion. It is not static and calm. The pro- phet also speaks of righteousness as the waves of the sea. That sug- gests power and behind each wave is the force of the ocean. Our righteousness will avail little until it is exercised thereby becoming dynamic and we are backed by the strength of omnipotent God.

Mrs. P’. M. Nash was heard with

pleasure in her solo “Entreat me not to leave thee" and at the cf- fertory the choir rendered the an- them “Teach me, O Lord." Rev, Mr. Barbour had charge of the Junior congregation existed by Miss Margaret stems. In the evening Rev. J. W.

His text was John 14-I2 “He that belleveth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do because I go unto my Father." The choir which turned out in strength notwith- standing the very inclement wea- that, gave as an anthem Handel's I-Ioly Art Thou" and Mr. Roy Sin.a.llman's solo "Going Hours" was listened to with much appreciation.
