A notable circle of Christian men
have recently issued preolction OF
the speedy end of the world. Their
prophesy is based upon the striking
response Of Jesus, to the bewilderment
of His disciples, wher they asked
Him, saying, Master, what sign Will
there be when these things shall come
to pass?" "And He SAID, when ye
shall hear of wars and rumors OF
wars, be not terrified; for these things
must first come to pass; but the emo
is not yet" Nation shall rise against
nation, and kingdom against king
dom aye shall see Jerusalem COM
passed with armies" "And there
shall be upon the earth distress OF
nations. mems hearts falling them for
fear" "And then shall they see the
son Of man coming in a cloud WIZ
power and great Slory.I
The Interpretation OF these Chris
tan men is precisely what many
thought In Jesus day. The coming oil
the Son of Man meant the end OF the
world. The facts of subsequent his
tory showed that this was not what
Jesus meant
His prophecy vas fulfilled; the Son
of Man did come with power. his
coming in that power was not, now
ever, the sign of the end Of the world
1t was the beginning Of a new lie IN
the world.
History was repeated itself. and the
worlds struggles have ever been the
travail of a new birth. Out o. them,
tried as by fire. has emerged better
and purer world.
.eThink not that I came to bring
peace on the earth; came not 10
bring peace but a sword" There are
two kinds Of peace: that OF outward
similitude and that of inward reahtS.
So, again, without any contradiction
in His own mind, Jesus sad IN dis
last hours, Peace leave with you;
my peace give unto you" But ne
edded, mot as the world giVeth, give
1 unto you"
War brings out both the worst and
the best in nations and in men: it Is
subject to the universal law Of COM
pensation. One who goes across the
sens today comes back with N gled
sadness and hope. He enters into the
experience of the great psalmists. The
same psalm consists of a dirge anu
an oratorio. There is q wonderful
and apparently contradictory contrast
in mood. They move on, with their
alternating notes. from the extreme OF
despair to the height OF falth' the
sense of horror ever changing place
with the sense of hope. There IS
unity among them in this, that tne.E
one constant and unfailing message
is seHoue thou in God" They all end
in the same last resort. 1t is a won
derfulIy vibrating. puIsating picture
full of dignity. breathing sincerity
alive with Dathos. charged with the
same soIemnfty, yet ever vibrant with
unfailing and responding commence
filed with the gloom Of realism, yet
fuller still OF magnificent and glow
ing idealism, and these psalms are put
the rejection of the varied and vivid
IL contrasting moods Of any seriously
thoughtful man today.
Men have said. with easy-golnS
Aippancy, that the war means the falL
ure Of Christianity; Christ stands pc
