The Peace Makers
By MRS. G. IT. MATHIS

, for us," only right and peace, as we went out to slay the four robber kings of central Europe, and secure peace for others.
 We must remember that with the start ing of the higher type which chose God
 and unselfsh service for its purpose. the early destruction of the vicious, unthink- ing, selfish type began. The cities of the plains were soon en- veloped in the flames of wrath of Je- hovah because they repented not. Sodam
 and Gomorrah went down by volcanic action, and the Dead Sea is their monu-
 ment today.
 If the great type of Jehovah is ful- filled in America. may We not soon see the vicious tyne of selfishness destroyed in central Europe as was Sodom and Gomorrah? Selfishness cannot stand in that day anywhere.
 Sometime, somewhere, some way ths
 vicious exploiting type of selfishness is to be put off the earth never to return l5again. Then and then only can peace supreme be attained, then will nations be glad to agree upon whatever is right We will not all have to fight for jus- tice and right behind weapons of force, for God sits in His place overlooking the struggle of right over wrong and He will now make right the wrongs of earth if this is the appointed time for that sweeping change.
 It is to come at the close of a great world war, and to come unexpectedly. Let us hold our faith In patience and hope, and be instant In prayer for who can know the mind of Jehovah and who car tell when he is ready for His great work, His marvellous changer? All of those who sincerely serve as best they can are tho real peace makers in these turbulent times, so we may assure ourselves that our labors are not in vain in the Lord. Come what will, still we
 know that Blessed are the peace niak-l
 CTS for they shall be called the chil-
 dren of God
 1 Let us strive not for mastery, but for
 quiet peace. .In quietness and peace shall | be your strength" Be still and know
 that I am God" says our Creator and l Redeemer.
