DISCOURAGING

In commenting on the formidable war preparations going on in Europe, the Chicago Interior, in a late issue, remarks as follows:—
“It is discouraging enough to find Europe armed and equipped for war as never before in history; but the spectacle of the head of the church [referring to the interference of the pope] stimulating the war-like spirit and encouraging preparations for bloodshed, is more disheartening still.”
To those who are looking for the time to come when nations shall learn war no more, the prospect must be very discouraging, and they will be compelled to defer the coming of the temporal millennium for several hundred years at least. But to those who are carefully watching the signs of the times, such events as the Interior bewails but give emphasis to the words of our Saviour, “Lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.”
