King Edward VII was a conserver of peaceful sentiments, a strong force for peace among the nations of the world. His son, George V, will probably be. Few rulers desire to see their realms plunged into war. Yet feverishly, madly, the world is preparing for the great conflict. Universal strife is held in check by the King of Kings. His angels hold in check the winds of strife. And he uses men like the Czar of Russia, Edward VII, and Mr. Roosevelt. But all the efforts of these men apart from God, consciously or unconsciously to themselves, would come to naught. God has His work to do. When that is finished, and He permits man to work his own puny will, then His restraining hand will be withdrawn, Armageddon will come, and the earth will be desolated. But beyond lies the purified, eternal kingdom of joy.
