The peal of cannon tells us in tones of
thunder that the nations have not profit
ed by the lessons In the past. Today
there Is blackness everywhere. Men and

sun of righteousness and peace, so soon
to appear mounts the heavens of life it
will shine into lives made translucent by
the desire and need for better things.
