The Lectures

Santa Cruz, Cal. (First Church).—Clarence W. Chadwick, lecturer; introduced by Miss Augusta M. Cole, who said in part:—

All the world today is crying out for peace. The governments at war, even while putting forth gigantic efforts for more war, are longing for peace. The heart's desire of the men in the trenches and the women and children in the factories and fields is peace. All the world wants peace,—peace not merely from war, but peace from the evil passions that make for war; peace from sin, from disease, from poverty, from sorrow; peace from discord of every kind.

And yet twenty centuries ago the gentle Nazarene said: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." Wherein has humanity stumbled and lost its way that it has failed to realize the blessing? What can dispel the darkness, out of the depths of which mankind still cries "Peace, peace; when there is no peace"?
