"Cong. Feb. 1, 1900. ' John Ruskins' opinion of war may be interesting to read now that he is dead and Great Britain and the United States are warring.  In his Crown of Wild Olives he wrote: "When I tell you that war is the foundation of all the arts I mean also that it is the foundation of all the high virtues and faculties of men.  It is very strange to me to discover this and very dreadful, but I saw it to be quite an undeniable fact ... I found, in brief, that all great nations learnt their truth of a word and strength of thought in war, that they were nourished in war and wasted by peace, taught by war and deceived by peace, trained by war and betrayed by peace, in a word, that they were born in war and expired in peace."

"Cong. Feb 22, 1900. 'Since Dr. Martineau's death the English press have called attention to the fact that, like and Emerson and Ruskin and Amiel and other men of exquisite refinement and ethical discrimination, Dr. Martineau had no sympathy with those who like Tolstoi deprecate war at all times. Said Dr. Martineau:
"The reverence for human life is carried to an immoral idolatry when it is held more sacred than justice and right, and when the spectacle of blood becomes more horrible than the slight of desolating Tyrannies and triumphant hypocrisies ... A religion which does not include the whole moral law; a moral law which does not embrace all the problems of a commonwealth ; a commonwealth which regards the life of a man more than the equities of God, appear to be unfaithful to their functions, and unworthy interpreters of the divine scheme of the world."
