I cannot close without uttering a sad and gloomy thought. The growth and glory of our city, our state and our nation has been thus accomplished and illustrated, only to be at this moment put in peril by the distress and horror arising from the world-wide European War of 1914-1915; so that every public occasion is oppressed and subdued by a paralyz- ing sadness. This whole globe is but a speck in the unbounded universe and it is now full of the tortures of murderous warfare. I expressed to a tho...ughtful friend the despairing idea that the only real ending of such woes would be that the world itself should come to an end. Two days later I saw attributed to Cardinal Gibbons the expression of the thought that the end of the world might be at hand. How can this be otherwise? Will God preserve our material earth to continue to be the horrible human habitation it now appears? I am afraid! It seems to me that the greatest duty and labor to which the people of the world can commit themselves is the estab- lishment of international treaties for the prevention of the devastations and horrors of war.
