THE ETERNAL PURPOSES
Whether we or only our successors will build in peace the city of God will rise, for its Divine Architect has created man a living soul, and no roan or machines can deprive the soul of “ lebensraum.” writes Dr L. F. Church in the quarterly review The pessimist may say we have failed, and we may admit that life is made up of failures. But it is not futile for man to look beyond the battle smoke and dare to challenge time and space to cast his spirit into bonds! The human spirit is the creation. of God. and. in spite of ail its pitiful abuse of freedom, it is not given to man to hurl back and destroy the eternal purposes.
