Book Description
Excerpt from The Bulletin of the Western Theological Seminary: A Review Devoted to the Interests of Theological Education Over nineteen hundred years ago, a little company Of shepherds on the hills about Bethlehem had the still-1 ness and the silence of their night-watch broken by a strange, sweet song of Peace on earth, good will among men. During all the intervening centuries we have thought we have seen evidences of the gradual realiza tion of that prophetic song. But now, suddenly, in the second decade Of the twentieth century, in what is thought by all to be the very heart of Christendom; and by men and rulers who claim to be the faithful and de voted followers of the Prince of Peace whose birth was heralded by that angelic message, a war is raging - a; war that is the greatest calamity, the last terrible scourge that has befallen this earth of ours. For wholesale, brutal slaughter of lives, for the wanton and widespread destruction Of property and the world's rare art - treas ures and the unreplacable monuments of civilization, no war in all the past can be compared to this, the Great War.
