The Bright Hope Beyond

ONE of the dispatches from the war zone recently said: "The losses on both sides are fearful. The field is covered with corpses, and the odor is unbearable." Hundreds of thousands of men have been killed in this European war. Probably the figures reach up into the millions. Most of these men have been only superficially buried. Their bodies lie near the top of the ground. There are many other thousands that there has been no time as yet to bury. This condition, as the long, hot summer months drag on, is bound to add pestilence of various kinds to the awful horrors of that most barbarous war.
Little have men dreamed of the fearful conditions that would prevail in these last days, and even now we but little realize what lies just before us. But if we understand what these things mean, all fear and suspense are removed from our minds by the glorious hope of what we know will come to bring an end to this strife, destruction, and ruin.
