Levi Edgar Young comments on peacefulness of LDS.
Levi Edgar Young, Conference Report (April 1938): 56
I believe that the Latter-day Saints have both the moral and religious equivalent of war. Should the noted British lecturer and statesman attend our Priesthood meeting this evening to be held in this famous old building, he would find ten thousand men disciplined for peace--disciplined in the principles of law and justice, love for all people, and for peace for all mankind. And then should all the brethren of the Priesthood gather here, there would easily be ten times ten thousand with the same dreams and ideals. These men are disciplined not for war, but for peace, for the love of mankind and God. What finer nucleus could one find for the moral and religious equivalent of war? It shows that the martial type of character can be bred without war.
