World’s Federation

By Editor

We have received from the Foreign Mission Seminary, Washington, D. C., one of our training colleges for missionaries, an appeal for recruits. It points out the great need there is in the world for missionaries to give the last great threefold message. One hundred and twenty are called for. If those who respond to this call are not ready, the Foreign Mission Seminary stands ready to help. The great need ought to appeal to every consecrated young man and woman whom the Lord has not called to other work. Any one interested in the training school for foreign missionary work should address the president of the Foreign Mission Seminary, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.

World's Federation.—A joint resolution proposed by Mr. Bennett in the last Congress was favorably reported in behalf of the committee June 4. Its number is House Joint Resolution 223. Its purpose was to authorize the appointment of a commission in relation to universal peace. It had for one of its objects the limiting of the armaments of the nations of the world by international agreement, and the constituting of the combined navies of the world an international force for the preservation of universal peace. Mr. Hamilton Holt, managing editor of the Independent, declares that the measure is a ways-and-means measure to bring about a world federation. While all this would be desirable—"the parliament of man, the federation of the world"—we may safely say, in the light of prophecy, it will never be brought about. The dominant spirit in the nations is not for peace, but war.
