Men are talking about how and when peace will come but few, if any strike tbe key note in the situation, which is' this: Not unti the world overcomes the spiritual death that is upon it will there be any change The great and only hope is spiritual awakening. It is this alone that can lead us out of the Egypt of war and poverty, sin sicknessand misery, into the promised land of poaee, happiness, freedom and truth. Only the awakening and development develop-ment of the spiritual forces will take men and nations out of the present reign of darkness and place humanity upon a higher plane of livinp. There cannot possibly be , any salvation except in true spiritualization, and when v e do that a light will begin to flood in upon us that will lead out of the terrible condition that now exists. If we continue to keep this spiritual light under a bushel we shall continue to go down, individually and collectively. The properdevelopment of the spiritual life will produce and bring everything that poor humanity may desire and . need. The things of the spirit are calling to the people of (his poor, lost world like the Master called to Jerusalem long ago. To listen and take them unto their souls means life and peace; to spurn them means continued misery and death. |
