People's Pilot, Volume 4, Number 48, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 May 1895 — War As A Moral Agency. [ARTICLE]

War A s A Moral Agency.

In a striking and suggestive study called “Should War be Abolished?” published in the May Arena. Mr. F. P. Powell, the well known scientific publicist, raises the question whether peace under certain conditions of internal corruption and political abuse is not more to be feared than war. He seems to think that human nature is not yet sufficiently evolved on a plane of moral and spiritual rationalism to justify the abolition of war. His argument is able and masterly, as is everything w’hich comes from his pen. and it should set thousands of Christ ians thinking seriously as to whether injustice and wrong are compatible with peace.
