THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

THE MEANING OF JESUS FOR PEACE LESSONJHEME Sunday School Leader Claims War Can Be Outlawed, The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Dec. 21. The Meanins: of Jesns for Peace. Luke 2:8-29. BY WM. E. GILROY. D. D. Editor of The Cengregationalist Discussions of peace have anew status in the world since the signing of the Kellogg pact. By that Kellogg pact, in which almost all the nations of the world have agreed to renounce war as n method of settling international disputes, the world has definitely approved an ideal, even though the world still may be rather far from it in practice. The cynic and the thoughtless critic may see in this a futile gesture of nations still at bottom very militaristic in spirit. He may even go so far as to regard it as a piece of hypocrisy while the nations spend so enormously upon the maintenance of armament and military establishments. But all progress comes through the contemplation and pursuit of unrealized ideals. Men see something as a desirable end today that tomorrow or the day after they will come a little nearer attaining. It is not without meaning, therefore, or without value that the nations have set before themselves the ideal and goal of the outlawry of war. Laws Are Not Enongh But war cannot be outlawed simply by the passing of laws and by the making of agreements on paper. The outlawry of war and the agreements may emphasize the desirable ideal and set standards of action, but these only emphasize all the more the moral and spiritual work on behalf of peace that must go on in all educational and religious enterprises. Nothing happens in the world without adequate cause, and if men desire world peace, they must establish the condtiions that make it possible and net make it necessary. How are these conditions to be established except through the influence of the spirit of Jesus Christ? It is not by chance that He has become known through the ages as the Prince of Peace. Here in our Christmas lesson the story of His birth is set in a drama of peace and good will to men. The glory that is to God in the highest is inevitably associated in all the life and teaching of the Master with peace on earth. It is the quality of the peace that Jesus gives and that He enjoins through His teaching that it enters into all aspects and relationships of life. It has its rise and beginning in the love that creates a peaceful attitude in individual hearts. “Love seeketh not her own,” says Paul; “is not easily provoked.” Love is the antithesis of the hate and greed and lust of power and dissension that through the ages have occasioned war and violence. Need Spirit of Jesus It is necessary today that we should link the spirit of Jesus definitely with the movements of peace in the modern world. Are Christians going to’ be indifferent, or backward, or blind, in an age when the very institutions of the world are turned toward the quest of the goal that Jesus pre-eminently has set for human relationships? There will never, perhaps, be complete unanimity among men regarding the issues that exist in a world of nations still militaristically organized in which the higher and purer ideals are seeking expression and attainment. There will be those who feel that the ideal itself must determine action who will take the attitude of personal non-resist-ance and of willingness to suffer and die rather than to participate in war. There will be others who, seeing and pursuing the ideal and working for it by practical ways nad measures, will not feel that the Christian conscience entirely forbids the use of force against force. They will take the view that certain Christian warriors have taken in the past that force itself can be consecrated to purposes of peace and righteousness. Two Types of Peace Lovers The debate between these types can never be fully adjusted, but it would mean a great deal if all who profess the name of Christ were definitely devoted to the attainment of peace. It is certain that only peaceful dispositions and peaceful attitudes can establish a peaceable world. In the great cause of peace in America there have been men like William Penn and John, Woolman, who took the extreme pacifist position, and there have been men like Abraham Lincoln, to whose lot it fell to assume the chief responsibility in a time of war. Both types are still found in our land. No one can doubt the beauty of the ideal to which Penn and Woolman gave their personal witness. No one, or. the other hand, can doubt that essentially Lincoln was a profound lover of peace. We can not all agree upon the method or the philosophy of practical action, but we can all consecrate our hearts and lives to the God of Peace and to the task of peace. He who does less than that has never understood the meaning of the Christmas story or brought the reality of it into his own life.

He’s Lucky Lucky Chester! That’s the way a youth on De Loss street was being hailed today as he strutted up and down in new togs. Chester was the 300th child outfitted in the “Clothe a School Child for Christmas” campaign. He was togged out from shoes to cap by the Y. M. C. A. of Indiana Central college and was taken to the colleges closing chapel today before the holidays, and introduced to the student body. “Thanks! ” shouted his adolescent voice as he was introduced, “and a Merry Christmas.” Here’s a “merry-merry” to the collegians too, Chester,
