Show Men and Nations Have Lost the Light. No matter what your personal opinions may be about the war you cannot get away from the fact that .things look very dark in this crazy-quilt world A black nig it has settled upon civilization and the gloom is so thick that there is scarcely scar-cely any Jig t that can penetrate it. Before this darkness came upon the world it had found its way into the hearts of men Yes, in millions of hearts it had found an abiding place and crowded out whatever spiritual light men's souls had to guide them. It is a fearful! thing for an individual, a nation or world when the spiritual light hap gone out. It can mean nothing less than spiritual death. And there m st be a resurrection resur-rection from th it death before there can be any solution of f ie problems that confront mankind. Everywhere men nre putting put-ting what fait h t hey have in armaments huge tanks, great guns and death-dealing airplanes. These cannot save; they can only destroy. There is but one saving voice in the w .irld and it has been calling for centuii :s, but in vain. It is the vnii e of O.ip who.firt blest ev,;ry Word with love. It is still calling and pleading with men but nne will listen. They prefer to go on until they rush pell mell into the maelstrom of death. But no matter how deep the chasm into which they are plunging, that voice will keep on calling them to the high road where they may walk redeemed and happy and secure.j - " - |
