THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS.
Mr. <C. E. Archibald wishes to know whether I am "offside" or "onside" with regard to the League of Nations. I thought that perhaps my criticism of the League might have been sufficient to show on which side I stand. It is on the offside. I consider the League came into being very much because of a sentimental hope that it would bring peace. It has not brought peace; it cannot bring peace. The League has disappointed the hopes of e Ten its most ardent supporters. Being a failure* the League cannot command any great volume of public opinion in its favour. The League is inherently weak. Mr. Archibald says it unreasonable to "condemn the League for ® ot succeeding in fourteen years in establishing the millennium." He is evidently unaware of the fact that the League never will succeed, in that. Before the millennium is established the League, if still in existence, together witli Gentile world government, will be overthrown. The Kingdom and Reign of Christ upon eart will not be set up by means of the League Nations. He will Himself come and do this, and His reign will bo from Jerusalem, no Geneva. D. SUTHERLAND.
