A Naval Holiday for a Year
THE proposition made by the first lord of the British admiralty that the leading powers of the world should take a naval holiday of one year, is being seriously considered by a number of the leading nations. Mr. Underwood, leader of the house, expresses his belief that a resolution will be passed by the United States Congress favorable to the proposition. If the nations of the world can suspend naval building and operations for a year, they can suspend them for a longer time. And why could these not be done away with altogether, and thus the world have universal peace? This is a dream that a great many wise and good men have, and discussions of the character now under consideration look very favorable from time to time in the direction of world-wide peace. The Bible prophecies, however, tell of Armageddon and a world-wide war at the close of time. They also tell of the great efforts for peace. It will be very interesting to watch these developments in the light of divine predictions.
