Towards The Great Peace is a book written by Ralph Adams Cram, an American architect and writer. The book is a collection of essays that explore the idea of peace from a spiritual and philosophical perspective. Cram argues that true peace can only be achieved through a deeper understanding of the human condition and a recognition of the interconnectedness of all things. He draws on a range of sources, including Eastern and Western philosophy, religion, and literature, to develop his ideas. The essays cover topics such as the nature of war, the role of art in promoting peace, and the importance of individual responsibility in creating a peaceful world. Cram's writing is thoughtful and insightful, and his ideas remain relevant today. Towards The Great Peace is a must-read for anyone interested in the pursuit of peace and the human condition.The solution of the industrial and economic problem that now confronts the entire world with an insistence that is not to be denied, is contingent on the restoration, first of all, of the holiness and the joy of work. Labour is not a curse, it is rather one of the greatest of the earthly blessings of man, provided its sanctity is recognized and its performance is accomplished with satisfaction to the labourer. In work man creates, whether the product is a bushel of potatoes from a space of once arid ground, or whether it is the Taj Mahal, Westminster Abbey or the Constitution of the United States, and so working he partakes something of the divine power of creation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The free city of a walled town is the author's solution to doing away with the destructive effects of imperialism and materialism. "The next manifestation of monasticism should already be showing itself .. There will be groups of natural families, father, mother and children, entering into a communal but not by any means 'communistic' life, within those Walled Towns they will create for themselves, in the midst of the world but not of it." Ralph Adams Cram, born in 1863, was considered America's greatest church architect. He was also an editor, art critic, poet, and designer. The work of his architectural firm, Cram, Goodhue & Ferguson, is considered the finest representation of the spirit of the modern Gothic Revival in American ecclesiastical and academic architecture.
