Excerpt from The Maze of the Nations: And the Way Out
Since the Church Peace Union first asked that monographs on some aspect or other of world peace be submitted by the clergy of American churches the whole question of international peace has been called upon to adjust itself to the interposition of an immense fact - such an engagement of major European nations as has not been known since the time of Napoleon, and such a kind of war as the world has never known. The war of 1914 is a flaming bar of judgment before which, whether we will or no, we are all being summoned.
Our dominant forces and tendencies, the quality and power of our ideals, our social and governmental institutions, the very bases of society itself are all called to answer under a very ancient statute, - "By their fruits ye shall know them."
There is no great region of human interest where we can go on without taking into account what the war is teaching us.
