Today, in fulfillment of this sign, we have before our eyes a picture of impressive significance. Peace conference after peace conference has been held, but wars have not stopped. Millions of men are bearing arms. Hundreds of millions of pounds are being spent to maintain greater armies and armaments; other millions in testing and experimenting with new inventions and devices and equipment for wholesale killing; still other millions for scientific development of agencies for killing whole populations; and the world is just as much an armed camp as ever. There is the same malice, hatred, and enmity in human hearts; there are the same intrigues and scheming and overreaching in diplomatic circles; and men are just as ready to fly at each other’s throats as at any former time. wars and rumours of wars disturb the earth everywhere
