This awful shadow hovers over the world today. It hovers over nations, and darkens well-nigh every home. Let us pray that this fearful shadow may be lifted. One thing the war is doing for England is this: it is bringing her on her knees. She is recognizing God. We have been so occupied with our pleasures and our sins, that God has been forgotten.
Now we have to give up our husbands and sons to the battlefield to fight for those they love. This may make us think of the love of God in giving up His Only-begotten Son to die for His enemies: to die “the Just for the unjust, to bring us to God.”
