Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays Towards Peace As this little volume of Essays Towards Peace is the first ever put before the public for the purpose of expressing definitely and explicitly the Ration alist point of view, it is desirable to preface it with some account of the position of Rationalists on this great problem of the proper and effective method of settling international disputes. This is indeed not merely desirable, but necessary, because until the formation of the Rationalist Peace Society in 1910 the work of Rationalists has been merged in that of existing organizations, which are either run definitely in connection with particular religious bodies, or which associate themselves to a greater or less degree with reli gious in uences. As a consequence, Rationalists have found their work not only annexed without acknowledgment, but actually claimed as peculiarly Christian, and have had to hear it repeated ad nauseam that Christianity is synonymous with Peace, and that none but Christian peoples abhor.
