THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN

TO THB EDITOR OF THB PEESS. Sir, —A book entitled, "Who Claims the World?" which puts the missionary case in the modern world, is being circulated by British missionary societies. It is certainly a sad thini? to see so much money spent on the unprecedented multiplying of terrible death-dealing armaments, while so very little, comparatively, is being spent on the outcome or results of true religion of the brotherhood of man. The wealthy are often tempted to feci that their broad acres and other properties are all their very own, but the Bible reveals other claimants. After all man's own tenure of his properties is always comparatively short, and, in

any case, as far as he is personally concerned, is terminated when he has crossed over into the great unknown beyond the pale. No one can take his estates and other wealth with him. Though Satan claims to be "the god of this world"—(2 Cor. 4: 4> yet. the ownership of the world really lies with God the great Creator.—"The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world, and they that dwell therein." (Psalm 24: I).—Yours, etc.. IF I WERE HUNGRY. Auckland, December IS. 1335.
