GLORIOUS AGE Of PEACE
HORNER TALKS OF ARBITRATION
AS THE END.
An Old Residence of the United
States and Hawaii Sees the Future
Frightening for the World.

Editor Star: Give thanks to God
that so friendly feeling is growing
between the two great English speak
ing nations. We look upon it as the
forerunner of the good time coming
when swords shall be beaten into
plowshares, and spears into pruning
hooks and the nations learn war no
more" When the lamb and the lion
shall lie down together" land the
COW and the bear shall feed; their
young ones shall lie down together.
"When every man in every place shall
meet a brother and friend When
there shalt be zone Lord and His name
one and He shall be king over the
earth"
The prophets speak of this good
time coming. Many believe the time
will come and some believe it near at
hand. And as the Great Father works
by natural means, who shall say he
has not now put the ball in motion
that will roll on until all the great
events above referred to shall be re-
allied. If this be correct surmise,
the Great One has chosen the two
greatest nations to come together and
peacefully settle their disputes by ar
oitratiOn. When that is done neither
will require armies nor navies to pro
tect itself against the other, and If
they get still closer, so as to render
each other assistance in time of need
such an alliance would have tenden-
CIV to check much national trouble,
which otherwise would lead to blood
shed, and it would encourage other
nations to join the alliance, particular
lv the smaller nations that now exist
only by permit of the more powerful,
and when the larger and more power
full of the nations come into the COM
pact the peace of the world would be
assured, as this great alliance could
say. as America did to Britain, in the
Venezuela case, viz: "Settle your dis
pute by arbitration" They would be
obeyed. as in the case referred to. 1t
IS because of the peace sentiment that
americans have been invincible.
God will continue to favor the peO-
pie who contend for peace, liberty and
enlightenment. God and humanity,
with all men free and equal before
the law, is the liberty that is enlight-
ening the world. The growth of lib
srty and peace means the downfall OF
unjust principles, not only in Ameri-
ca but throughout the world the rod
and scourge of the cruel oppressor
must and will be broken. The Prince
of Peace has decreed it,
1t is evident the days will come
when the nations shall learn war no
more" Then their millions of men
and their billions of money now used
in war preparations could be turned
to productive industry.
Blood is thicker than water"
Is weak, narrow, superficial rea-
son why the great English speaking
nations should settle their differences
| by arbitration and become allies to
encourage peace on earth; good will
be man."
AS God made of one blood all ma
| tons of men to dwell on all the face
of the EARTH" and all being His crea-
lures. of course He requires kindness
and mercy shown to all. To do as
we would be done by" and thus
spread the principles of Christianity
among all men. When these princl-
pies are taught and observed by all
men. peace will flow as a river over
all the earth.
1t is evident the nations above re-
ferred to are better qualified to set q
Christian example of mercy, peace
freedom and good will to the world
than any other people, and the!
should do it because it is right, not
because their people speak the same
language.
