You can retire, and this evening during off time I want you to write one hundred times, the proverb beginning, 'Blessed are the peace-makers." "Yes, sir," said Tom humbly. He was glad to escape thus easily, for he knew that the captain was very strict concerning fighting. A little later the others were sent off, leaving Lew Flapp alone with Captain Putnam.
There were a college of ward-masters, a college of select men, a college of deacons, a college of ammunition, of fortification, of ship-building, all claiming equal authority, and all wrangling among themselves; and there was a college of "peace-makers," who wrangled more than all the rest together. Once a week there was a session of the board or general council.
The American Congress passed resolutions of sympathy with the Cuban insurgents, and from so slight a spark the Spanish people took fire. Instead of acting as peace-makers, the official organs of most European governments proceeded to fan the flames encouraged Spain to resent the fancied affront by assuring her that she would not lack powerful allies.
Hitherto the movement toward peace has not gone beyond this conception of it, as a collusive safeguarding of national discrepancies by force of arms. Such a peace is necessarily precarious, partly because armed force is useful for breaking the peace, partly because the national discrepancies, by which these current peace-makers set such store, are a constant source of embroilment.
If we had been listening to Jesus when he began this sermon, saying: " Blessed are the poor in spirit; blessed are the meek; blessed are the pure in heart; blessed are the peace-makers" and so on till he had spoken of nine different kinds of blessing, we might have thought that he had nothing but blessings of which to tell.
Jones poured another drink and sipped it. "Isn't he, though?" He laughed softly. "You fellows just leave that to me." He caught up his hat and went out. "A smart little man," remarked Howard Baker, complacently. The peace-makers took an early boat for San Francisco. They were hopelessly alienated from the Law and Order Party.
It was the Polish people which was treated thus at the Vienna Congress, and, owing to him, Poland's just claims were ignored, her indefeasible rights were violated, and the work of the peace-makers was botched.... Happily, optimists said, the Paris Conference was organized on a wholly different basis.
"As," said the abbess, "when he stopped in his journey to greet an old negro of ninety-nine, and reconcile to him two who had offended out of his many children. L'Ouverture is never in so much haste but that he can pause to honour old ago: never too busy for works of mercy. If the peace-makers are blessed, so is he." "And where," continued the father, "where are the poor?
He did not like quarrelling, and he knew very well that peace-makers must be prepared to yield and forbear, even if they had not been themselves in the wrong. So he said, "O, yes, Henry, let him have a ride. He may get on my end. "Rollo," he added, calling to Rollo, as he came up, "do you want to see-saw? You may have my end."
Upon fighting, maiming, wounding, striking, scolding; upon peace-breaking, upon resistance to peace-makers and to the judgment of Schepens; upon contemning the Ban, upon selling spoiled wine, and upon other misdeeds fines are imposed for behoof of the Count, the city, and sometimes of the Schepens.......To all Middelburgers one kind of law is guaranteed.
