To be nonviolent to human beings and to be a killer or enemy of the poor animals is Satan's philosophy. In this age there is always enmity against poor animals, and therefore the poor creatures are always anxious. The reaction of the poor animals is being forced on human society, and therefore there is always strain of cold or hot war between men, individually, collectively or nationally.
The problem after a war is with the victor. He thinks he has just proved that war and violence pay. Who will now teach him a lesson?
Violence begets violence by whomever used. War is a dirty business and entails the use of degrading means, whoever wages it.

Remember that if they had fought against you, your difficulties would have been increased. Their neutrality itself may be a great advantage to you.

God never can use any man very much till he has grace enough to forget himself entirely while doing God's work; for He will not give His glory to another nor share with the most valued instrument the praise that belongs to Jesus Christ alone.
Men have presented their plans and philosophies for the remedying of earth's ills, but Jesus stands alone in presenting not a system, but His own personality as capable of supplying the needs of the soul.
