I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!

The great question is, can war be outlawed from the world? If so, it would mark the greatest advance in civilization since the Sermon on the Mount.

The soldier, above all other men, is required to perform the highest act of religious offering-sacrifice. In battle and in the face of danger and death he discloses those divine attributes which his amke gave when he created in his own image. No physical courage and no brute instincts can take the place of the divine annunciation and spiritual gift which will alone sustain him.

Could I have but a line a century hence crediting a contribution to the advance of peace, I would yield every honor which has been accorded by war.

It is fatal to enter any war without the will to win it.

Let us pray that peace be now restored to the world, and that God will preserve it always.

Wars are caused by unprotected wealth.
