Christ's Gospel and
By William E. Gilroy, DJI.
mHE person of any Christian pro-
A tentions would be dull and
hopeless Indeed If he were not
deeply troubled with the contrast
between the peaceful mission, pur-
pose and message of Jesu* and the
condition of our world.
'that condition appaars perilous
with the realisation that for the
first time In human history man
has apparently wlthiln hia power a
total destructive force.
There Is, of course, Mill much
questioning as to how real this
threat of an atomic destruction
may be.
When we turn, however, to the
discrepancy between this World as
It exists and the Gospel of Him
whom we call “The Prince of
Peace” all doubt and questioning
subside Into ead and tragic realisa-
tion.
This Is not a world of peace In
which the Christ has conquered,
however much He may have con-
quered In the hearts and souls of
many believers.
Among these sincere believers in
the Prince of Peace, however, there
Is also a great discrepancy in prac-
tical attitudes as they face the
teaching of Jesus, and the problem
of peace In a warlike world.
Some, whom I would call non-
resistants, rather than pacifists,
for all true Christians are pacif-
ists, even those who engage in war
on behalf of peace against violence
and aggression, believe In the literal
following of the Master's command
to resist not evil.
Others, as I have suggested, take
the more common attitude of sup-
porting their governments and
people against attack, of meeting
violent aggressors with adequate
measures of protection.
Either way, I think the Christian
la faced with a dilemma, and a
problem In which he can find little
satisfaction. In my-own Ufa I have
felt strongly the Inclination to-
ward nonresistance.
It Is so easy to accept a prin-
ciple of Individual action, to say
that If all men ware taking my at-
titude there would be no war, or to
make one's Individual protect
through nonresiitance.
But I have never been able to
adopt the attitude of nonresistance
The sufferings and sacrifices of
those who have fought for and de-
fended their country, a* I see It,
have been tor greater than the
Inflictions upon non-resistants,
much as I deplore the persecuting
zeal of professional patriots.
I think of aggression and vio-
lence much as I think of threat-
ening epidemics of disease. The
goepel of good health, the prepar-
atory measures of sanitation, are of
the utmost importance. But when
an epidemic breaks out one would
not think of meeting It by a pro-
fession of prlncfes of good health.
Firm, stern, physical measures
are necessary. And the tame thing
is true, I think, of that epidemic
of warUke aggression.
But, unfortunately, that is not all
the story. Peaceful measures and
preparations for defense so easily
become a matter of vast military
preparation and the accoutrements
and philosophy of the war we so
greatly deplore.
Bo the dilemma, In a measure, is
unavoidable. But we can live In the
spirit of peace, and live and hope
and pray for peace, and believe In
the Christ, who has conquered, but
who has still much more to conquer.

Inscription Shown
CHICAGO, Dec. 18—(U.FD-A dated
Inscription from an early Christian
church In Israel, built more than
1,400 years ago, was placed on dis-
play recently at the University of
Chicago’s Oriental Institute.
The Inscription from the Byian-
tine church was found In the
:ourse of excavations undertaken
by the Institute this year at the
famous site of Khirber-Kerak.
The excavations were directed
by Plnhas P. Delougaz, curator of
the Oriental Institute. He said the
discovery murks the earliest wefl-
dated remnants of a church found
on the shores of the Sea of Oalllee.
The date of the church, discov-
ered last December beneath a level
of an early Arab building of the
eighth century, A. D„ la calculated
In terms of the Gregorian calendar
for 528-520 A. D.
The Byzantine church was a trl-
apsidal basilica more than 165 feet
long and 65 feet wide. A chapel
adjoined the north aisle of the
main church. In the chapel was
found the Inscription, about 14
feet long and three feet wide. Luld
in mosaic, the Greek inscription
as translated by Carl H. Kraeling,
director of the Oriental Institute,
reads:
"May Christ help Theodori
Maglster and Theopllas and Basil.
Under . . . the mosaics of the Inner
court and the robing room were
laid the Presbyters Hellos and
Basil acting as supervisors in the
seventh Indiction, this being the
year 681 (528-529).”
