Excerpt from World Missions and World Peace: A Study of Christ"s Conquest

Our book this year, sixteenth in the United Study Series, meets the argument that without war men and nations lose their sense of the heroic and sacrificial. Mrs. Mason argues that the constructive work of Foreign Missions furnishes a Christian equivalent for war and supplies the motives for heroism and self-sacrifice.

The author also shows that the seeds of this present conflict and of all wars between so-called Christian nations are found in the compromise of the Early Church with militarism, and summons us to a new Reformation which shall include world brotherhood.

The chapter on the Conquest of Europe: West, affords an admirable historical background for study books on Latin America while the history of the Greek Church throws light on the religious life of Russia and the Balkans.

Throughout the book comes a faint echo of far-off prayers of Apostles of Peace in all generations. It is met today by a cry of agony from countless women whose light and joy are blotted out by this war.
