XVI. Peace and War
It is the
duty of Christians to seek peace with all men on principles of
righteousness. In accordance with the spirit and teachings of
Christ they should do all in their power to put an end to war.
The true remedy for the war spirit is the gospel of our Lord. The
supreme need of the world is the acceptance of His teachings in
all the affairs of men and nations, and the practical application
of His law of love. Christian people throughout the world should
pray for the reign of the Prince of Peace.
