A war-cursed world, of bitterness and strife, Where man has lost his sense of Christian life. "Long years ago, upon that bitter day, prayed Dear God, the cup might pass away. Again pray that Thou wilt touch mankind, And heal the race that's mad and deaf and blind, That it may see the church they burn in lust, Will still call me when they have gone to dust. There is no permanence in walls of steel The cannon's mouth may make them rock and reel There IS no pernanence in laws of might, Unless they too be founded on the right" Brute force has nothing great to lean upon, In his last hour thus spoke Napoleon Chrlsts words immortal, they can never die . 50 write them now upon the Christian sky Arouse the race in every tongue and land For truth and righteousness again to stand Let bright banners of peace fill the earth and sky For who takes the sword, by it will surely die"

 Peace si pure, Holy and generous and therefore cannot be united with vice, Hatred and selfiiShneSS which have now become fundamental prin- ciples.
 We must convince ourselves that purely sentimental religion is not religion and is useless to humanity. Gods kingdom can be established only when religion rules the indivi- dual as well as society.
 In the time of Caesar Augusts, the world was almost like it is today. Peace since has prevailed for many centuries and his been enjoyed by the individual, the family and so- ciety because Christ's law, we'll practiced, is efficacious.
 However, organism, known a. organizm resulting from material ism, is reviving everywhere as seen in the cinemas, theaters and novels and preached openly from chairs of wickedness exciting all the lowest passions.
 With such general shameful demoralization, how can we dream to recover true peace2 Restore. Let us practice in all integrity the teachings and example of the divine Saviour. These will dispell our cor rupt darkness, bringing the broad daylight sun of justice who alone can begin a new true era of peace.
