What a pity, what a crime the flower of humanity must go out to dye the earth red with their bloodi Why cant we find ways to make life more abundant instead of destroying itT Why cant we learn to bring smiles instead of tears? Why cant we find new ways to make the earth more beautiful with fruita and grains and flowers instead of sowing the whirlwinds of destruction? Why cannot man deal more gently with hie brother man? Why cant we spend the energy and money we spend for war in redeeming the race from inhumanity, ignorance, disease and barbarism, rearing new temples to learning, liberty, culture, religion? Why must progress ever make its painful way over ruined Reids, desmolished cities, broken and crippled lives and masses of dead? The solution does not lie in the world's leadership; it lies in the depts of the universal heart of the world. Who can awaken that heart? Let each of us register an oath that we will do all that in our power lies to bring about the time When nesting birds shall fill the cannon's month and bastioned fprts be sights for curioua men, and that glorious day visioned by Isaiah when swords shall be beaten into plough shares and spears into pruning hooks.
