By no means the least evidence of world progress k the growing social conscience A century ago, eompara- lively few voices were lifted against human slavery. Some even sought to justify the institution by Scripture references The public were asleep. Eut the night passed and the morning came. With it, came the awakening ar the public conscience on the slavery question Today slavery has been practically baniShcd from the civilized world.
 Up until ten years ago, war was regarded as necessary evil. The kaiser's school books declared war to he the natural state of man. The most horrible destruction of human life was justified on the grounds of national defense From Homer and Virgil down to the present time, the deeds of wars heroes have been sung in immortal verse Against this con tillol tl dIldiiS, Nh't III S'ihN 'N'"' tered instances and by small church groups. no voice was lifted in protest. The world wide interest in the recent Washington Arms Limitation Confer ence and the reception accorded the rc- suits of its deliberations. indicate clearly n world wide war WearneSS that's both history and prophecy. The world will not rest until it finishes the job.
