CHUR A Lesson for Something Beyond Peace Is Needed to Bring Peace By WILLIAM T. ELLIS. Rarely does a man find a satisfactory wife by looking for one. he meets the yoman whose spirit an- swers to his spirit, and love is born. Love, and not calculation, makes happy homes. So it is with the other great goalf products, attained by indirection, and usually unconsciously, A boy or girl does not win a noble character by pursuing character; that way It is byo—————— ——————— ‘Without intention or expectation, comes milksops and prigs. & spirit of unselfishness and honor that character is achieved. So also it is with peace, the pres- ent greatest concern of mankind. Everybody wants peace; bust some nations and individuals want other things more—power, prestige., prof- its. We would have peace in Europe tomorrow if we would let any one of the combatants dictate the terms. But such a peace would cost more than it is worth. All of us are pretty much in a fog concerning international peace, the professional paciftsts most of all. The fact that there are scores of rival peace societies, unable to agree among themselves as to a program, is evidence of our clouded thinking upon the subject. As for peace advocates who merely want to save their own skins, they are be- heath contempt. No man is fit to live who has not learned to be ready to die for something outside of himself. ‘ Peace is not a cause, but & con- sequence. It is not a root, but a fruit. Before we can have peace we must have justice, righteousness, 80od will, honor and unselfish- ness. These are all greater ob- Jectives than mere social tran- quillity. “The wisdom that cometh down ¥ from above is first pure, then peaceable,” says Scripture. War- breeding condi- tions must change before wars will cease. The Bible is clear W. T. Ellis. upon this point. Peace follows changed hearts, supremely loyal to God. The Christmas chorus prom- ised “peace on earth among men of | good will.” | Here is the day’s field for hardest, | clearest thinking. We need to know | what peace really is, and how it | comes, before we can hope to achieve | it. So long as national greed and | | shall make them afraid.” CH NEWS. the Week - of life; they are by- “Union Now,” as set forth in his book of that title. Highly placed statesmen, like Secretary Hull, are bending their best energies to prep- aration for world peace. Micah has many allies today; and none so strong as the resolute purpose of the masses to achieve a new kind of world. Herbert Hoover once said, “Peace is not made in documents, but in the hearts of men.” The Good Time Coming. Out of the darkness of Micah's day came his flaming picture of peace-—used also by Isaijah—when men “shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.” What a weary wait the world has had for the fulfilment of this proph- ecy! Yet throughout the ages it has been echoed again and again, in undefeatable optimism. Micah also draws an idyllic ple- ture of a better life, when “They shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree: and none After all, the grand objective of neace, and of the things that make peace possible, is the safe and happy life of ordi- nary folk, Significantly, our lesson includes the passage from Micah which is the Old Testament's most definite propheey of the coming of Jesus, the Messlah, to Bethlehem, to be| the bringer of peace to the world. Micah says. “This Man shall be our peace " The ever-ipcreasing sway of the Saviour, with His gospel of righteousness and love, is today's gupreme hope for peace. The Sunday school lesson for - | April 21 is “Micah's Vision of Peace."—Micah 4: :2-5, THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D.

E. groups will hold a gospel hymn sing at the home of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. OFlaherty, 1444 Juniper street N.W. Schedule of Activities i selfishness persist; so long as ad- vantage is put ahead of simple | right; so long as fear transcends | faith; so long as personal political | and financial ambition is more po- | tent than good will, just so long shall we continue to have wars. | Disarmament treaties are powerless until the hearts of the people have | been changed. We are on the road to peace when we deliberately, pur- | posefully, tirelessly, selflessly, seek to establish justice in the earth. The | accepted sovereignty of God, and ‘nothing less, with men walking in | His ways, will bring peace to pass. | One Prophet's Foregleams. | This man Micah, of undistin- guished origin, was one of the group of prophets in ancient Judah who | lived in the days of Good King | Hezekiah, Indeed, according to Jeremiah, it was Micah's words that | set King Hezekiah upon his path of | reform. Micah lived 700 years | before Christ, in a time when the | Jews were falling away into idola- try; and when they had neglected the clear and righteous laws of | Moses for pagan practices of greed, oppression, injustice and luxury. The rich were ever more cruelly richer and the poor were ever more bitterly ' poorer. | Nevertheless, like every other man who waits upon God, Micah was an incurable optimist. He spoke many stern words about the wickedness of | the rich, of the judiciary, of the priesthood: but he never lost his vision of the ultimate triumph of Jehovah's way of peace. He believed God It is of passing note that Micah, and his fellow prophets, thought in terms of nations. He not only was a flaming prophet of patriotism, but he also weighed the kingdoms of his times in the scales of Divine judg- ment. All Christians—and espe- cially all preachers—who are wont to concern themselves with the details of doctrine and of conduct, are sum- moned by Micah's example to think in national and international terms. This is a day for the reading of big books and of foreign dispatches. If ever there was an hour for the teaching of highest patriotism it is now. One hopeful sign on the day’s horizon is that so many persons are thinking long, long thoughts about the world's future, and about the sort of peace and social order that will follow this awesome war.
