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 and 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.
