p0hehe parts Hefe mentioned We Tor convenience and Identification dosig- nate "The Ruling Powers');
 That the delegates and representa- tives of the Ruling Powers now as- sembled in international conference at Washington for the purpose of the limitation of armaments and insofar as possible for the establishment of conditions of peace and prosperity a. mong the people, have before them laudable objective.
 But we may be pardoned for humbly suggesting that the end desired can not be attained by partial or even complete disarmament of the nations. Reformation of men or nations will not result from the destruction of arm but genuine reformation of men will lead automatically to the complete destruction of all instruments of war and all forms of violence. While war is terrible beyond description of hu- man phrase, yet it is not the worst thing to be feared
 Bolsevism, as great menacing monster, is knocking at the door of every nation, and the destruction of ali law and order is threatened. To prevent such terrible disaster and to save the people from indescr.bable suffering is the tremendous problem which, we submit, requires more thu human wisdom. We therefore suggest that the needing of Divine wisdom and the adoption of the Divine remedy as prescribed by Gods Holy Word is vitally essential at this time.
 The holy prophets of Jehovah indi- cate how that the kingdom of Christ the Messiah, may be established with out great suffering of hug~nity, pro- vided that the Divine way be adopt ed. You will pardon us, thereore, for callin your attention to those Divin prophecies long ago recorded, which in substance indicate what the proper course is, to wit:
 CD Let the Financial Princes, the ontrollers of Commerce sease profi- teering, cease exploiting and deceiv- ing te people by systematic propa- ganda, and be content with reason able income sufficient to insure their own maintenance and support let them use their power for the general welfare of the people to the end that the idle may be employed, the hungry fed, and each man be afforded an op- portunity to provide for himself and loved ones the things decent and hon est in the sight of God and men.
 (2( Let the Statesmen or Politicians cease to act as instruments of selfish overs and selfish interests and henc = forth honestly and impartially rep resent and safeguard the interess and general welfare of all the people.
 (3) Let the Clergymen and other Religious Teachers, who claim to be ministers of Gods word and there fore the nobles among the people, di- vorce themselves completely from commercial and political affiliations, return to their first love recognize Gods Word as truth, honestly and faithfully teach the people the princi- pies taught by Jesus and the Apostles and thereby prepare the people to receive the kingdom of Christ, the Messiah, who alone can and will es- tablish peace on earth and good will toward men.
 Let the Ruling factors by example as well as by word thus lead the peo- plcin the right way and prove that they are the real friends of the poole; and let al the people heed the words of God, refrain from violence of ev- cry kind or form, seek meekness and righteous ness and the occasion for armament and war will cease. These things done the kingdom of Christ the Messiah, will be established on earth without Suffering.
 We shal be pardoned for saying that the prophecies clearly indicate that if the divinely prescribed remedy be ignored, ths being the day of Gods vengeance, as declared by his proph- cts of old, his wrath will be visited upon every government and system of Christendom, and both Jesus and the prophets declare that such shall be time of trouble such as the world has never known at which time shall Mi c4ael (the Messiah) stand up, the great prince that standeth for the childrenof thy people"
 Great responsibility rests upon the Ruling Factors of the nations of the earth now in the hour of dire distress and perplexity; and we shall be par doned or requesting such to give ear-- nest consideration to the Word of God, having in mind that "blessed is that nation whose God is Jehovah"
