It is a sad commentary on Christianity and civilization that after the lapse of almost nineteen hundred years after the utterance of those saving and redemptive words of the Master: "therefore whatsoever things ye would that men should do unto you, do ye even so to them," the nations of Christendom should stand supinely by and witness such wholesale massacre as that which has taken place, and if latest accounts be true, is still taking place in Armenia.
Had that mighty precept been only partly practised in individual and national life, such a spectacle would not now disgrace the name of Christianity and civilization. Nor would the war cloud which now theatens the peace of two great, so-called, Christian nations be even a possibility.
God grant that the teachings of Jesus as Christian Science is emphasizing them may speedily become so firmly engrafted in human consciousness that such dire manifestations shall not be possible.
