time the violence has never diminished.
but increased. so that we never have

Continuing. the pope says that owing
to the ministry entrusted TO him by
Providence and animated by the char
ity of Jesus Christ. nothing has been
left uninterrupted to remedy these af-
fictions. The pontiff recalls the words
of King Jchoshophat, praying:
Lord God of our fathers, thou art
God in heaven. and rulcst over NIL king
doms and nations. In thy hand is the
strength and the power; none can re-
sist thee. We will cry TO thee in our
anIctton and thou wilt hear and save
us. Our God. as we know not what to
do we can only turn our~ eyes to
thee"
The pope urges the world TO trust in
God who Is the arbiter of the win OF
men and human events, and To trust to
his mercufulness to put speedy end
to so many storms Fastening peace and
restoring among men a reign OF justice
and charity.
