Excerpt from Ethical and Religious Problems of the War: Fourteen Addresses The war in which Great Britain is now engaged has many aspects, and springs out of a long historical development. With its manifold antecedents the Addresses in this volume are not concerned, nor do they attempt to deal with the various problems, social, economic, industrial, international, which must more and more engage the thoughts of all who look forward to its close. But this great tragedy involves many minds in grievous perplexity. Not only has it overthrown the hopes for the securer establishment of peace among the leading European nations which had been steadily growing since the first Hague Conference in 1899, it has shaken the fundamental convictions of the righteous order of the world, and the significance of the whole evolution of humanity upon this globe.
