remembrance in i the stouffville legion hall -i- i am one of those who each year when remembrance dayrous around find myself in a dilemma as ted stated il havelittle problem in remembering with some sadness and a great deal of appreciation those wellmotivated men who died in battle in the great wars of 191418 and 193945 i must agree with ted however arid state my appreciation for his courage and insight when he says that extremes of nationalism and patriotismare often the causes of war i only wish to affirm his question does territorial expansion or even retaliation ever warrant the tak ing of human lives must we always mea- j sure ourselves by numbers of guns i amgratef id to see a respected church- man like ted express his views so forced fully and effectively too often the churches have supported war and mass murder on the battlefield aswe all knowthe religious wars have been the most cruel and murderous and hatred instead of love demonstrated by christ has been the motive i would like to challenge all churches arid church people who recognize jesus christ the prince of peace as central in their faith and practice to espouse the cause of peace let we as christians not only declare ourselves as being line- against therhadness of the arms race but also be active and articu- lateor the cause of peace arid justice in our world if is riot enough to spiritualize the christian message and to emphasize only peace with god we are called to be peacemakers in our world and from a global perspective rather than from the narrow perspective of nationalism the great commission of jesus is to all- nations and peace isthevery essence of the message i l v v sincerely i j m nighswander v administrator z parkview home stouffville the tribune i wish you were here vt-
