But war will see the end of it's days when Jesus comes to reign on the earth, and then shall the earth be glad and the Heavens rejoice ''The Mighty God" will sup. plant war by his own presence and men will beat their instruments of war into instruments of agriculture and learn war no more.
 In times of war and international turmoil men are schooled in the real meaning of the Everlasting Father" Long have the Nations heard of the 'Fatherhood of God" but without the realization of it's meaning.
