THE Washington Post editorially warns Congress to be careful about unsettling legislation in panicky times. Looking out from this country, the Post sees the situation thus:—
Russia is disturbed by internal struggles. England has millions of unemployed men and women, and is in continual fear of war. Germany has its growth of socialism, its ruler is more or less humiliated, and its people are restive. France has its church strife and other turmoils, threatening to put an end to republican government. Japan is beset with financial difficulties. Austria faces war and the uncertainties of a change of rulers. Turkey is undergoing a revolution that may not remain peaceful. Most of the lesser countries are involved to some extent in political or financial difficulties.
The view falls short of larger Asia, with its peoples more restless than ever in modern history. These things show the fulfilling of Christ’s prediction of distress and perplexity of nations in the last days, and these are not signs for us merely to note as a matter of record, but rather signals to be earnestly at work. In every one of earth’s troubled nations we have a message to bear.
