“ABSOLUTE PACIFISM"

Sir.—Permit me one mare word, (my lest for the present). on the subject of‘ pacifism. I realiu. of course. that in any newspaper con- troversy the editor always has "the lest word."

Surely. Sir, you did not expect anyone to take seriously your re- ply to my letter in the Guardian of December eleventh.

It is quite true that Christ said, “I came not to send peace but s. sword." But permit me to finish the quotation. "Fbr I 8m come to set e men at variance against his father. and the daughter against her mother. and the daughter-in- lsw against her mother-in-law- And e men's foes shell be they of his own household." It is very seldom that a "sword" or any sim- ilar weapon, is made use of in farm, ily differences, and when it is, Christ end his teaching ere in no wey responsible. ‘ '

Hie life here on earth may very properly be described as “one long fight for truth and justice and mercy" but it was a. fight carried 011 not with weapons of destruc- tion, but with loving self-sacrifice sud non-resistance. and whose crowning not wee not the taking of other’; ‘lives .but the giving of Hie own. Inlultice and sneer; and in- lulte were 111s lot and never once did He raise His hand in self-de- fence. Roe any nation today sum- cient of Hie Gpirit in enable it to "fight" u 11c fought, to suffer en insult 1mm mother nation with- out ldlg its oiilciel temper and throwing owey th e of inno- cent lives to prove 1 resentment?

Ae for your citing the driving- o! (be money-changers from the-tem- ple u on argument against peei- flln. I foil to eoe the force of the argument. A father mey chastise his child with e. "whip" or some similar" instrument. but that is Ilotly different from shooting it down or crippling it for life. If you moon the incident as In ar- gumentfutheuseodforcmitis quite unn y. for I. and.
