slain. In some parts of the world that

world progresses, this is coming to be

The sad thing is that so many muir
ders are committed in the world not
only by those who hate others but
by those who would rob them. Wars
still go on, killing men, women and
innocent little children. What can we
do to help put stop to war? In the
first book of the Bible, Genesis it is
said, For in the image of God made

He said it is not only wicked to kill
