AX lS( HIPTl AI, DOCTRINE War Is at our door, and tills fact Impels us to remark that those ex-j tromely pious pacifists who look with sui li horror upon it, and who regard the word, Soldier, as a synonomous with Satan, should read their little liilde a little more understandingly. Nowhere within its covers is the Christian compared to the mollycoddle mollycod-dle or the milksop, hut always to the brave and trained soldier. In fact, ; from beginning to -end of the scriptures scrip-tures the efficient servant of the Most High Is not only lickened to a soldier, but is declared to BE a soldier of the Lord. Even Moses, the type and pattern of meekness, trained and disciplined an army that later, under the command com-mand of his nontenant, Joshua, conquered con-quered a grea people and won a home for a nation. ! The peace-at-any-price and swat-the-other-cheek pacifist will have to rewrite the Scriptures before he can reconcile his policies with the plain word of God Almighty Himself.
