Great Millennial Hope.

The horizon of the hopes of nian is never quite so clear that the exact moment of siinrise or of sunset may be marked. But a great millennial hope is none the less to be treasured as the goal of all striving. Just when its object will be reached —if that object be an enduring peace, and if the means for securing it be that perpetual alliance of free nations which now appears to embody the most, promising plan yet devised for its attainment — none may certainly declare. But whatever methods may be pursued to this end thte hope behind it and the confidence that it is a reasonable and righteous hope are the highest justifications for everything that everybody can do to achieve the victory of the allies with whom our nation is joined. There is no weapon in the spiritual armor of the noncombatant that needs more constantly to be kept bright.—M. A. De Wolfe Howe, in Atlantic.
