Fifty years ago whosoever talked about Universal Peace was
not only ridiculed but called a visionary and utopian. Now praise be to God
that at this time it has assumed such importance that everyone acknowledges
that this question of Universal Peace is the light and spirit of this age. But
they state that the pathway to this much desired goal is obstructed by a number
of not clearly defined stumbling blocks, which, however, can be removed by
intelligently and persistently educating public opinion.
