A Discipline for Non-Violence

For ages military discipline has won and held men's faith. However crude, indiscriminate, and brief may be the results of organized violence, the world still has immense respect for its show of firmness and order. Much as we dislike war, when we begin to ask how we can attain justice and peace, we come face to face with this power of the military method. What is the secret of this power? Does it lie merely in men's fear of violence?

It is my purpose in the ensuing pages to point out that non-violent as well as military training requires physical drills and discipline and that such training can be obtained through manual work.
