The Hague Peace Conference
Of more than ordinary interest are the reports from our special correspondent at the Hague Peace Conference. The delegates to that important assemblage are no doubt imbued with the highest ideals for the betterment of humanity. The efforts that good and true men and women are putting forth to counteract the mighty impulses for war in these times should be applauded and encouraged. All such efforts are, without doubt, supported and used by the Spirit of the divine Father to prevent the awful devastation of a world-wide war. For it must be conceded that if war should break out between two of the great nations of Europe, or between the United States and any other leading world power, that all the world would be more than likely to become involved and modern methods and modern weapons would cause literal rivers of human blood to flow. The prophecy shows that such a universal and bloody war will be the final act in the world's career of sin; but there is a Gospel work of telling everywhere that the Lord's coming is right at hand, and we should pray that these bloody scenes may be held in check while the work of the Master is being finished.
