ADDRESS ON WAR
BY ALEXANDER CAMPBELL j

Printed in Serial Form on Request of Subscribers
NUMBER TWO
The rapid progress and advance
ment of modern .science is, I pre
sume, owing to a more rational and
philosophical nomenclature, and to
the more general use of the induct
ive system of reasoning, rather than
to any superior talent or more as
| piring genius possessed either by our
| contemporaries or our immediate
j predecessors.
Politics, morals, and religion—the
! most deservedly engrossing themes
of every age—are. in this respect,
: unfortunately, behind the other
I sciences and arts cultivated at the
present. We are, however, pleased
to see a growing conviction of the
necessity of a more apposite, per
spicuous and philosophical verbal
apparatus In several departments of
science, and especially to witness

some recent efforts to introduce a
more improved terminology in the
sciences of government, morality,
and religion.
To apply these preliminary re
marks to the question of the eve
ning. it is important to note with
particular attention the popular
terms in which we have expressed
it, viz:
“Has one Christian nation a right
to wage war against another Christ
ian nation?”
We have prefixed no epithet to
war or to right, while we have to
,the word “nation.” We have not
defined the war as offensive or de
fensive. We have not defined the
right as human or divine, But
we have chosen, from the custom of
the age, to prefix Christian to na-

NATIONAL DEFENSE . , . Clue to
U. S. independence of distant, foreign
sources for manganese, No. 1 strategic
material, was seen in revelation by
F. S. Norcross, Jr„ Cuban : American
Manganese corporation's resident Mining man
ager, to American Institute of
Engineers, of new concentrating proc
ess used in Cuban operations (above),
believed also applicable to similar U.
S deposits of this “starch” of steel.
tion- The reasons for this selection
and arrangement of terms shall
pear as we proceed.
First, them had we prefixed
word “offensive 1 ’ to the word
we would, on proving that a Christ
ian nation had no right to wage an
offensive war, be obliged to instl
tute another question, and to ask,
“Can a Christian nation wage a de
fensive war against another Christ
ian nation?” thereby implying that
one Christian nation might be the
aggressor and another the ag
grieved. But we cannot without
great, difficulty imagine such a thing
as a Christian nation carrying on
an aggressive war, We, therefore,
simplify the diseussion by placing
in the proposition the naked term
“war.” Nor shall we spend our
time in discussing the political right
of one nation to wage war against
another nation, and then ask whe
ther they have a divine right In
deed. the latter generally implies
the former; for, if a nation have a
divine right, it either has or may
have a political or moral right to
do so.
But we must inquire into
appropriateness of the term
“Christian” prefixed to nation—
for popular use has so arranged
these terms—and the controversy,
either expressly or impliedly, as
nowadays occasionally conducted
in this country, is, Has one Christ
ian nation a right to wage war
against another Christian nation?
But, as we assume nothing, we
must ask the grave and somewhat
startling question: Is there a
Christian nation in the world, or
have we a definite idea of a
Christian nation? We have, indeed
had, for many centuries past,
many nations called Christian na
tions; but we must fearlessly ask,
at what font were they baptized?
Who were their godfathers? In
what record are their sponsors
j registered? Aye, these, indeed, are
preliminary questions that de
mand a grave and profound con
| sideration. That there are many
nations that have Christian com
munities in them is a proposition
which we most cheerfully and
; thankfully admit. By a common
figure of speech, we also give to
| that which contains anything the
: name of the thing contained in it.
! Thus, rhetorically, we call one ed
ifice a college; another a bank, a
j third, a church; not because the
j brick and mortar, the plank bank, and
nails, constitute a college, a
or a church, but because these
buildings contain these institu
tions. So we have—if anyone con
tend for the name as many
Christian nations as we have
Christian communities in differ
ent natioris, and as many Jewish
j nations as we have nations with
| Jewish synagogues in them, and
j as many Mohammedan containing nations as
we have nations
j mosques in them. But, according
(Largest Coverage Any Weekly in the State)
Highway Funds from
Federal Government
Grants Are Held Up
A serious problem of recon
struction will face the State High
way Department before the pres
ent “State System” can be brought
to completion. The severe winter
this year, which occasioned em
ergency expenditures of $500;000
to repair more serious breaks,
called attention to the fact that
roads wear out.
Experts attached to the State
Highway Department and to the
Federal Bureau of Roads, as well
as the last two chairman of the
Board, have called attention to
the fact that unless the “State
System,” which comprises more
than ten thousand miles, is fin
ished before the earlier paved
highways wear out, some sections
; of the State may never get. their
needed paving.
Some very vital highways now
| | face rapid taken disintegration. by residents of Steps the
were
counties ‘in the Coastal Highway
i area to secure reconstruction and
new improvements on that im
portant route, and. if this plan is
effective the eventual retirement
of the obligations created will re
quire a large sum annually.
In the meantime, the highway
from Atlanta to Griffin, an inte
gral unit in a major State route,
is in bad condition, while portions
of the same road on South Geor
gia, notably in Cook and Lowndes
counties, are being pounded to
pieces. These roads were among
the earliest built in the State and
ar close to twenty years old. The
average road of superior construc
tion requires complete recondi
tioning in that length of time.
Diversion highway funds has
left a large sum in Federal grants
in an uncertain position, so that
much of the total may be lost to
Georgia. This will result in fur- i
ther delay in completing the
“State System.” which would link
the county-seats of Georgia. Di
version of highway funds, a large
part of which went to local gov
ernment units to support their pe*
nal systems, was made necessary
when the 1939 Assembly rejected
! a minimum sales tax to finance
public schools, the pension and
health services of the State. The
diverted funds kept the schools
1 open this year, but the welfare ac
tivities have been drastically and
dangerously curtailed for want of
money.
j
to this rhetorical figure, we may j
have a Christian and a Jewish j
nation, or a Christian and a Mo- j
hammedan nation, in one and the
same nation, as we sometimes find
both a Jewish and a Christian
synagogue in the same nation. But
a rhetorical Christian nation and
a proper and unfigurative Christ
ian nation are very different en
tities. A proper literal Christian
nation is not found in any country ;
under the whole heavens. There;
is, indeed, one Christian nation,!
composed of all the Christian 1
.
communities and individuals in
the whole earth,
The Apostle Peter, in one let
ter addressed to all the Christians
scattered throughout Pontus. Ga
latia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bi
thynia. though “strangers” or
aliens in these respective na
tions, calls them collectively “a
holy nation, a royal priesthood, a
peculiar people” In strict logical
and grammatical truth there is
not, of all the nations of the earth,
one properly called a Christian
nation. Therefore, we have never
had as yet one Christian nation
waging war against another
Christian nation. Before anyone,
then, no matter what his learning
or talents may be, can answer the
grea. interrogatory now in dis
cussion, he must form a clear and
well defined conception of what
constitutes a nation and what con
j stitute? (Continued a Christian. Next Week)
