Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of Christ and the World War The World War has forced many new, pressing, and perplexing problems upon the preacher. To him has been intrusted the gospel of reconciliation, of peace and good will to men, and how to preach that gospel in a world of war when nation is divided against nation and a man's foes are found even in his own national household, is by no means easy for him to determine. He may be successful in evading or ignoring the problems of the higher criticism and the doctrine of evolution; but war, with its terrible, insistent, and heart-searching questions, is a brutal, stubborn fact that must be met and answered. Let it be granted that the preacher has fallen upon difficult days. New questions which go to the very core of religion and ethics are hurled at him. A hundred new demands are being made upon his time, and when he is asked to give up his service for the advertising of liberty loans or for a discussion of the problems of food conservation, he is sometimes in doubt as to whether the calls of country are the calls of God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of the Spirit: Britain and America in the Great War F the City Temple has been an international Shrine almost from the beginning of its history, it is doubly so to-day, not alone from the fact that its present Minister is an American citizen, but still more because of the reunion of English speaking peoples drawn together by a common peril and a common ideal. The call of an American preacher to so famous a pulpit was itself an overture of friend ship of good-will, and was so understood by men of all creeds in America; and in obedience to that spirit the Minister himself has been led to conceive of his responsibility in a two-fold aspect - as a Christian Ambassador and an Interpreter of one nation to another. But since these two great people are really one, having a common genius and a common historic inheritance, these two Offices are also one, since we can best understand each other in the Christian at mosphere, which is the spirit of fraternity.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the War We give our own experience on the subject under consideration in the belief that it reflects the experience of a large number in the Christian community, and this with-5 out much regard to sectarian relations. We suddenly find ourselves without any matured principles to guide us in the most trying crisis in the history of the nation and we can recall instances in which, with more or less of explicitness, we have committed ourselves to a policy which a severe test assures us to be wholly inadequate. Hence the change of conviction and, to a much greater extent, of feeling which has come over us. We are free to confess that We have been in the habit of over-estimating the civilization of the age and the country in which we live. Years ago we learned from Gibbon what might be expected of barbarians. But we indulged the hope that the Goths and Vandals belonged only to the early time. We did not expect that an Alaric could come from the land that had given birth to a Washington. The humilia-a ting fact of slavery, of property in man, was indeed before us; and a class of teachers insisted with tolerably severe logic, that a man who would appropriate to his own use the unpaid toil of another, could scruple at nothing. But we had personal acquaintances among slave-holders, and knew that such. An inference, however conclusive as a matter of logic, was not just in point of fact. We could give the names of slave-holders who, aside from what is involved in the fact of being slave-holders, would neither lie, nor steal, nor do an inhuman act.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of Justice: Or the Christian Philosophy of War Completed in the Idea of a League of Nations This little book is an attempt to apply the relevant doctrines of the Christian philosophy of war to the idea of a League of Nations. That philosophy was drawn from Holy Writ by S. Augustine Of Hippo, to whom Christian Europe owes a great, though tardily acknowledged debt, in that his teaching finally decided the much-debated question whether Christians could be loyal citizens of a secular state. Nor have we sufficiently acknowledged our great Obligations to S.' Thomas Aquinas, who gave precision and explicit ness to what had been left implicit and vague in S. Augustine's theories, and laid down lines of Christian thought which were only abandoned by Machiavelli and his numerous followers because they were antagonistic to the doctrines of self-interest in which the international policies of the last four hundred years have been too deeply dyed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christ and War The author, in common with all who desire peace between the nations, owes a debt of gratitude to Norman Angell. For, whether one agrees or disagrees with his arguments in The Great Illusion, it is undeniable that he has brought the question of peace and war prominently and freshly before the public in this and other countries. 80 that peace advocates no longer speak to deaf ears. Hitherto they have found the public unwilling to listen to them, and inclined to view their theories as a mild form of insanity. The Great Illusion has changed this attitude by showing that between civilised states war can bring no gain to the victor, and, under certain circumstances, may damage him even more than the vanquished. At once per petual peace has become an ideal which the practical man can recognise as capable of realisation. The Christian and humanitarian peace advocacy claimed that war is wrong and should therefore be abolished. At this the practical man shook his head and said, War is certainly horrible; it is bad; but it is necessary. It is part of the nature of things; you can't abolish it. Now, if Norman Angell is right in his main contentions, it is no longer possible to say that war cannot be abolished. For it is clearly to the advantage of all men to abolish it; all that stands in the way is human ignorance and prejudice and in every department of life these are constantly being overcome.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse: On the Evils and the End of War Tue prophet declared, that what is foretold in the text and context, shall come to pass in the last days. The last days signify, without question, the times of the mese siah. The period, which is intended bythe last days, began when the Lord Jesus Christ ascended into heaven; and was exalted as the head over all things to the church. Some part of the prediction, which includes our text, was accomplished in the calling of the Gentiles to the knowl edge and worship of the true God, and the great success of the gospel in the days of the apostles. But it. Has been justly observed There needs no other proof, that the grand accomplishment of this prophecy is reserved for some future period, than the consideration, that nothing, in any measure answerable to such forcible expressions, has yet occurred on earth. As yet, events have been so diflerent from what is foretold, that multitudes, with the scriptures in their hands, imagine, that the joyful scenes described by the prophet, will never be realized in this world. But the God of truth, who speaks and it is done, has said of the nations of the earth, they shall beat their swords into plough-shares, and their spears into pruning-hooks; nation shall not. Lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. This divine declaration places be fore us the following sentiment - Though war has existed in past ages, in a future period, it shall wholly cease.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Call of a World Task in War Time, Vol. 1: The Demands Which Are Being Made in These War Years for a New Expression of International Christianity Foremost among the profound and urgent messages which God is uttering to His Church in this awful hour, is the clarion call for reality in religion. To that call let us direct our first attention. We are moving into the new world order through blood and fire. It was little more than yesterday that an influential New York daily wrote thus of the pros peets of universal peace: It was nearer last year than it was the year before; it is nearer this year than it was last year; it is nearer now, today, than it was on the first day of the present year, and, with an advancing step, that has never gone backward, through all these years, the prophecy is safe and beautiful that we are marching swiftly into the vast open of universal peace.

Download or read book War This War and the Sermon on the Mount Classic Reprint written by B. H. Streeter and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-15 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from War, This War and the Sermon on the Mount Love your enemies, ' verily and indeed - but it is also written, thou shalt love thy neighbour.' Take as literally as you like the words, If a man smite thee on the right cheek, turn to him the other also - yet there is one thing they cannot mean If a man smite thy sister on the cheek look the other way.' If a wanton injury is threatened to one weaker than myself and I have power to prevent that injury, then, if I fail to exercise that power, I become morally a particeps criminis, and no casuistry can absolve me from complicity in the injury itself. No act is more essentially Christlike than the deliverance of the oppressed. Even if in a particular case the threatened party would be willing in the name of Christ to submit to the injury, it is no whit less my duty to prevent the wrong being done - if possible by persuasion, if not by force. The knight-errant riding the world in search of distressed damsels to succour is as good a Christian as the Quaker literally turning the other cheek. If possible by persuasion, if not by force I have written, but it is just to the addition of the words by force that many thoughtful men, Christian and other wise, will demur. Can force ever, it is asked, prevent wrong And, if so, under what circumstances and with what limitations? On the answer to this depends the answer to the further question whether a Christian can ever justify war.
