"The work of righteousness shall be peace"

M.

One of the addresses delivered upon the occasion of the dedication of a monument to the memory of the Jewish soldiers who died in the Civil War has occasioned no little comment, and this is not to be wondered at in view of its radical plea for the righteousness and necessity of war.

The speaker is reported to have said,—

"No death is more glorious than death for one's country. In the providence of God war was ordained, and the human race will always fight for what it loves. This nation was founded through war. In the day we are unwilling to fight for our liberties we shall surely lose the respect of the world. We have had wars since the world began. Therefore we shall always have wars."
