But great achievements still await us in this world, and we feel confident
that, by His grace and never-failing guidance, we shall now and ever prove
ourselves worthy to fulfill His great Purpose for mankind. And who can
fail to realize the sore need of bleeding humanity, in its present state
of uncertainty and peril, for the regenerating Spirit of God, manifested
this Day so powerfully in this Divine Dispensation? Four years of
unprecedented warfare and world cataclysms, followed by another four years
of bitter disappointment and suffering, have stirred deeply the conscience
of mankind, and opened the eyes of an unbelieving world to the Power of
the Spirit that alone can cure its sicknesses, heal its wounds, and
establish the long-promised reign of undisturbed prosperity and peace.
