posed, on the ground of expediency, by society ; And, in the ideal brotlierhood of men to which the Christian gospel teaches all men to asjiire, war would be impossible. But, with a view to the necessary process of the attainment of this ideal, war in the abstract is not condemned. Here as always the Christianity of Christ looks to the motive' (liethune-Baker, Influence of Christianity on War, 18S8, p. 18).

WARD. — The Eng. word ' ward ' is another spell- ing of 'guard.' 'Ward' is tlie older Teut. form (An^lo-Sax. wcard), ' guard ' came in through the Old Fr. garder: cf. wage-gauge, warrant-guarantee. Both forms are used in AV, though, with one ex- ception,* the same words are not translated by both. The form ' guard ' had not then been very long in use, but was already freely used synonym- ously N\ ith ' ward.' The Anglo-Sax. weard is the same in the masc. = ' a guard,' ' defender,' and in the fern. = ' guarding,' ' defence ' ; hence ' ward ' is used in both these senses, as well as for a body of men on guard and the place in which one is guarded, a prison. Bunyan makes a di.stinctiun between 'ward' and 'guard': Holy War, p. "J4, ' He sent special orders to Captain Boanerges . . . to put them all three in ward, and that they should set a strong guard upon them.'
' Ward ■ in AV means ; (1) A body of men on guard ; Jer 3713 [pikitluth, only occurrence ; lit. * oversigrht,' OHL tr. E ^V3 ' sentinel ') ; Ac 12^0 {^y\tx.3tr.).

The adverbial sufhx ' ward,' expressing direction towards a jdace, was formerly used with great freedom. In AV we (ind ' to Godward ' Ex IS'",

WARE (Anglo-Sax. warn; Skeat tliinks the orig. sense was 'valuables') is used in AV (in botli sing, and pin.) for merchandise. The sin" occurs Neh 10« (mn^,?), 13" (irr), 13™ (i3-:=) ; and the plu. in Jer 10" (lyj?), Ez'k 27" (-iTOO, AV 'the wares of thy making,' RV 'thy handi- works'), 27" (I'niy), Jon P (3''?3). We still retain ' warehouse,' which Coverdale gives as two words, Jer 40'° ' Therefore gather you wyne, come and oyle, and kepe them in youre ware houses.' — See FAiiis. J. Hastings.
WARE.— 'Ware,' 'aware,' and 'wary' are forms of the same adj., the a in ' aware ' representing the Anglo-Sax. ge (gewaer. Middle Kng. imar, ywar), and the ?/ in 'wary' being an addition. 'Ware' occurs in Mt 24'" (1611, mod. edd. 'a«are'), Ac 14«, 2Ti 4". So Lv 5'-'* Tind. (5>« 'And the preast shall make an attonement for him for the ignor-
