"If you send cotton, 'tis we that weave it," cried the Scot.
Lucy was almost afraid they would come to blows over which was the
greatest and most skilful country. "It cannot be buying and selling
that make nations love one another, and be peaceful," she thought.
"Is it being learned and wise?"
"But the Prussian boys are studious and wise, and the French are
clever and skilful, and yet they have had that dreadful war: I
wonder what it is that would make and keep all these countries
friends!"
And then there came an echo back to little Lucy: "For out of Zion
shall go forth the Law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people;
and they shall beat their swords into ploughshares, and their spears
into pruning-hooks; nations shall not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they war any more."
Yes; the more they learn and keep the law of the Lord, the less
there will be of those wars. To heed the true law of the Lord
will do more for peace and oneness than all the cleverness in
book-learning, or all the skilful manufactures in the world.
