But whatever the relation between Christianity and war, there can be no question of the relation between Christianity and _hatred_.

Hatred (which is not the same thing as moral indignation) is a poison which corrodes and embitters, and so degrades, and thereby weakens, the national spirit.

It is a pity that some of our most prominent newspaper-proprietors do not understand this.] Internationalism as a political theory has broken down: for it was based on a false conception of the nature of government and of the obligations of citizenship.

The true internationalism--a spirit of mutual understanding and fellowship between men and nations, to replace the suspicions, the competition, and the watchful selfishness of the past generation--is the moral task that lies before Europe and America to-day.

If Great Britain is to lead the way in promoting "a new spirit between the nations" she needs a new spirit also in the whole range of her corporate life.
