There Will Be no Peace in the World To the Editor
A reader argues that the war in Europe proves that Christian nations seek peace only in rhetoric. He cites moral decline, asks why God would answer prayers for victory on both sides, and invokes Biblical prophecy to say true peace awaits Christ’s coming, not human treaties. He signs as C. S. Coleman, Elder of the Seventh day Adventist Church.
