Excerpt from Thoughts on the War
Of these articles, the Prelude appeared in the Times on August 6th, the others in the Literary Supplement. I have to thank the proprietors of the Times for allowing me to reprint them. They are reprinted just as they were first published except for a few corrections. Some objection has been made by correspondents to the article called "The Illusions of War," on the ground that it is dispiriting and mawkish. I wrote it as a sermon for myself and my own more violent feelings. Christianity tells us to love our enemies. I cannot pretend that I have succeeded in doing so; but that article and passages in the other articles are attempts to attain to a state of mind in which the Christian command shall not seem a foolish impossibility; and they are not, I think, inconsistent with a belief that we are fighting for a good cause.
