Eddy Urges Passive Resistance

"The simple principles of Jesus, if honestly applied, would solve all the racial, industrial and international problems which cause war," was the message left by Sherwood Eddy in an address on "Can Christianity Solve the Problem" at Phillips Brooks House last night.

"Let every man, whether a pacifist or an opportunist," continued the speaker, "by the League of Nations or by the World Court,--let him strive to abolish war and to substitute trial by jury for trial by battle. Let every man obey his own individual conscience, even to the point of refusing to obey his country's orders--let him refuse to fight, if he thinks it evil. The abolitionists won their fight for slavery against the efforts of a united nation; why cannot we win with such a message to the world?", he concluded.
