Excerpt from The Red Triangle in the Changing Nations
Ours is an international age, marked by rapid changes. The war has brought the twenty-three allied peoples into a brotherhood of common aims and efforts against a common foe. They are bound together, primarily, by the moral issues involved in this conflict, recognizing that in the war great problems are at stake, and that the violation of treaties and the commission of atrocities must cease if the world is to be safe for democracy.
Recently, Premier Lloyd George said, "The Allies now must defend all fronts against the enemy and have a mobile army for any point of emergency." Must not the Christian Church also regard every moral and religious battlefront of vital importance, whether it be in France or Italy; in the Balkans or Palestine; in Mesopotamia or Africa; in India or China?
Moreover, when the war is won, how is the world to be kept safe for democracy, and how is a real and lasting brotherhood of man to be established? Brothers are brothers only because they are the sons of the same Father. It is only as men reverence and obey the Father in Heaven that they will act in a brotherly way on earth. Hence the problem connected with the work of reconstruction, after the war, cannot be solved satisfactorily without an adequate religious solution. What is the solution to be? Among the Allies are found non-Christian as well as Christian nations. What are their moral and religious needs? Can Jesus Christ meet these needs? Does the war show that Christianity has failed, or is it the only hope for ultimate peace between the nations? If Christ is the desire of all nations, should we not proclaim Him to all?
