< Il have been requested TO contribute al
article on Disarmament, and am glad to give
my views on the subject.
The words of the Prophet Isaiah apply to
this hour:
It shall come to pass in the last days, that the
mountain of the Lords house shall be established
in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted
above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto It.
And He shall Judge among the nations and
shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat
their swords into powshares and their spears into
nation nation shall shall not not lit .srn up Swop1 sn
The beating of swords into instruments of human
utility which was the hope of prophets for better and
happier days. has apparently to this and gen.
Grafton The Worldwide demand of the peoples compos-
ing the Family of Nations to have matured, IN
these "last days."
1t now remains for the leaders and official represent
atves of these peoples to take positive steps toward the
practical achievement OF this great and glorious reaza
yial side OF this supreme task proposed SO noby by
President Harding may after all be only the lesser part
of the problem when compared with the work OF pre-
pairing the international mentality the hearts of
for demonstration OF peace on eart the recognition
and establishment of Gods law, and the true brotherhood
of man.
1t is for the statesmen of Christendom to remem-
Der, that "The preparation of the heart [mindl
is from the Lord proverbs XVII whether that mind
be of the individual the national the worldwide mer-
tality to which falls the duty of solving the problem of
national and international disarmament What therefore
may seem impossible to human agencies not beyond the

upon His shouldet and His name shall be called Won

It is the earnest prayer OF Christendom that those
who brought together at Washington for the task,
may be endued with the spirit of Truth and that right

Lord build the house. they labour in vain that build IT,
their hearts to the God of nations, let them earnestly

This illumination or spiritual unfolding of those who
compose the Conference Armament will prevent
them from perpetuang the old order, or justying an
other of lies, greed hate and DEATH the governing
. power of international policy.
To agree with the attitude of the carnally minded In
regard disarmament would be to preciptate another
war; and plunge the material world into annhilation
The hour has struck when evil is fast rushing to self
extinction. The imminence OF the oncomng Christ is
unmistakable and the victory of life death, love
over hate and fear assured To the righteous appeal

judgment seat" (Jnia Ward Ho1ue)
The earnest prayer of all true Christians is that those
in authority may be inspired to give permanent express
sion to that aspiration Of the Christian world peace
earth in the bonds of brothery unity and love. May
these spokesen of the peoples be wayed by righteous
ness which will enable them to enbody in their decisions
and mutual agreements, the divine wisdom with which
God endowed man, His Word the executor of His
law whenever understandingly invokes Gods guild
ton to the will of the Father May the nations rep
resentatves unite in resisting and destroying th abysmal
folly of brute animal force inspired by the greed of
material gain
If the Conference on the Limitation of Armament
succeeds in placing the policies of the nations high
er or spiritual plane of endeavor then it will have
achieved But it must be watcfu lest this spr
itua progression Crtward be traduced by those who
are still blind leaders of the blind working wholly
physical plane, to achieve place and power in nsae-
rial world.
Not only must America defend her Spiritual standard
and work out experiment in international righteous
ness but she must consecrate her every power and
strength Of purpose to the protecting and guarding Of
her heritage the child of promise and thus aid
establishing peace and prosperity in the whole earth
The Herods of national ambition for place and power,
greed and all unrghteousness never say the infant
America whose birth into spiritual supremacy, under the
law of God and His Christ is the advent of
in the life of the world.
