Absence of World Peace

For all the billions of

concerned,

That we have failed
to persuade the world in to-
ward the ethle of brotherly
love, tolerance and forgive-
ness is evidenced in the mo-
snic of ‘recorded history. For
instance, in the last three
hundred years, there have
been 286 wars causing mil-
lions of deaths — includ-

ince
BC, nations have signed ov-
er 8,000 peace treaties, the
average life of which has
been two years. Of the more
than 52 treat

ken by that empire,

And while we have heard
that the world is likely to
desiroy itself by way of the
bomb or pollution, it is

increased to the point where
there is one break in
15 seconds, a purse snatch-
ing every 30 seconds, one
car theft every 48 seconds,
one assault every two min-
utes, one rape every 19 min-
utes and one murder every
43 minutes!

By the same token, Ed-

of
USA _now involves children
of 18 years or younger.
Little wonder it it
has been said that North
America appears to be com-
mitting spiritual suicide. Or
perhaps I should say that
we are being a by
way of spiritual genocide!
