Such a growing sense of human brotherhood, the Prophets felt, would increase the likelihood of universal peace.

And, finally, the Prophets depended on the increasing spiritual ennoblement of humanity. The time would come when the Spirit of God shall be poured forth on all alike, when the Divine Law shall be put into human hearts, when the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord, when princes shall rule in righteousness and faithfulness, when men shall learn God's ways - when genuine spiritual nobility shall have become universal. Then peace also will become a universal reality. "The effect of righteousness shall be peace, quietness and security forever."

"Rise up, ye women that are at ease, and hear my voice; Ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech. After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women;

For the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not

come.

Tremble, ye women that are at ease; 1

Be troubled, ye confident ones;

Strip you, and make you bare,

And gird sackcloth upon your loins,

Smiting upon the breasts

For the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine;

For the land of my people

Whereon thorns and briers come up;

Yea, for all the houses of joy

And the joyous city.

For the palace shall be forsaken;

The city with its stir shall be deserted;

The mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever,

A joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

Until the spirit be poured upon us from on high,

And the wilderness become a fruitful field,
And the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness,

And righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace;
And the effect of righteousness quietness and confi-
dence for ever.

And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation,
And in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places."

As we view the situation to-day, we cannot help realizing that the Prophets were right. Only when the conditions they envisaged are fulfilled, permanent peace shall come on earth. There must be vindication of the law of righteousness; there must be a deeper feeling of human brotherhood; there must be universal spiritual ennoblement. Those who fight and who labor for the consummation of these things are working for durable peace among men.
