Peace on Earth.

The announcement in "Salient" of the proposed V.U.C. "Peace Society" to promote peace is in harmony with President Roosevelt's seeking of a moral basis for "a real, lasting, sound, moral, intelligent and righteous peace" common to all mankind. But when there are already three other bodies in existence that can as adequately deal with such problem as the "Peace Society", any further division among students is based upon unsound principle. If members of the "Peace Society" are anxious for peace, they have ample scope to show the way to peace by unifying and amalgamating some of their own College institutions, such as the Free Discussions Club, the Debating Society, and the International Relations Club on the one hand, and again, on the other hand, the Evangelical Union and the Student Christian Movement. If they cannot achieve this domestic task successfully, they can hardly be expected to do much good in the wider national and international fields of peace. But if they can do this, there is some hope that they Have discovered something of that co-ordinating "principle" that the whole world is looking for as a moral basis for peace. I suggest that there is only one way of effecting this and that is by a careful analysis of first principles according to the soundest reason and the truth, and the net result will be that only by complete adherence to Jesus Christ and His Word as the truth is a moral basis possible. Either this principle is true, or it is not, Which meals its complete acceptance, if it is true, or its complete rejection, if it be untrue; and words' must be likewise converted into action. So true wisdom is established.
