War and the Temple of Peace

By Editor

JUDGING from the world's record, the completion of the Temple of Peace at The Hague will not be marked by the beginning of international disarmament and arbitration. The Washington Post gives the following summary of international difficulties since the beginning of the peace temple: "As Andrew Carnegie's cherished building, the Temple of Peace at The Hague, progresses, it becomes more and more a record of war-like deeds. When it was decided to build it, the Anglo-Boer war broke out. With the adoption of the plans came the Russo-Japanese war. The first stone was laid on the day Kaiser William started out for Tangier, and inaugurated the Morocco-European complications, the end of which is not yet in sight. Austria emphasized the completion of the first story of the Temple of Peace by grabbing Bosnia and Herzegovina. The finishing of the second story found France and Germany making faces at each other. As the roof is being put on, Italy wages war with Turkey."

CORRESPONDENTS of the various departments of the General Conference should be particular in seeing that their mail is correctly addressed. For instance, mail designed for the Educational Department of the General Conference comes addressed only Educational Department, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C. There are several schools located within Takoma Park, and it is difficult for the postmaster to know to which of such schools mail thus addressed belongs. Properly this communication should be addressed to the Educational Department of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, Takoma Park, Washington, D. C.
