---

The road to the salvage of civilization is still open to us, but it will remain open for a shorter period than the twenty years which separated the two world wars. The situation is tense; it may become grave; it may even end in the utter disaster that so many fear--but it will never end in the defeat of the divine plan. That is impossible. We may lose this world battle, the forces of destruction may burn down all that we see around us, humanity itself may perish in the titanic holocaust, but human life will return, will go on and slowly rebuild its house again. But, humbled a little or purified by its suffering, it will build more nobly next time.
