Excerpt from The Great Peace: Being a New Year's Greeting to Our Motherland and the Nations at Present in Conflict and a Welcome to Them All to the Feast of the Great Peace
And the men who feel themselves called or impelled so to fight are yet under the law of this present world order, and they would certainly be doing a serious and great wrong, both to their own soul or real nature, and to their country, by shirking their responsibility in refus ing so to fight.
For theirs, too, is an inner or divine urge or inspiring force, but it is not the Christly urge. It is yet of the Genius of the world-soul or present order.
But if we are in the Christ-degree we are under the law of Christ, and the righteousness of the Christ-order, and that alone, can we fulfil.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, written during a time of global upheaval, delves into the profound implications of the Christian concept of love in the face of war and societal turmoil. The author grapples with the seemingly contradictory calls to self-preservation and national duty against the unwavering mandate of universal love espoused by Christ. Through a blend of philosophical exploration and poetic prose, the book explores the tension between individual conscience and societal expectations, particularly in the context of the First World War. The author confronts the reader with the challenge of embracing an all-encompassing love that transcends national boundaries and personal attachments, urging them to seek a higher path of spiritual transformation. This book offers a powerful reflection on the timeless struggle to reconcile personal convictions with the complexities of the human experience.
