Peace in the Midst of Strife

AN unsettled state of affairs is presented by the international situation at the present time. The Mexican revolution and counter-revolution and the peace parley in relation thereto drag wearily on. The end seems quite as far from sight as at the beginning. Only the great Arbiter of all knows the outcome. Italy has been passing through a great industrial war, in which mobs of determined strikers and revolutionists have come into open conflict with the government troops. In one province the revolution took on an organized form, and freedom from the central government was declared. At the present writing the government appears to have the situation well in hand. These conditions are representative of similar conditions on a smaller scale existing in nearly all parts of the earth. The spirit of disquietude, unrest, and strife fills the hearts of men. These conditions are omens of the coming storm which will sweep over this earth. How gratifying that in the midst of the strife the children of God may find peace in him.
