AFTER THE WAR
Sir,-Apropos the various expressions of opinion regarding the state of the World after the war, which were published in this week’s Listener, it was noticeable that only once was reference to God made in these expressions. While it is most interesting to know what a professor, a labour leader, an economist and a commercial man thinks on the subject, I venture to predict that not one of us will have any say in the re-shaping of the new world nor the conduct of its affairs until we learn to listen for the still small voice of God. He is the sole arbiter, the architect of future affairs. And until such time as we know real humility, until we go into the valley of Despair, as indeed we are destined to do, to emerge cleansed and purged of all the sickening artificialities which clothe our daily life, actions and utterances, then only shall we be guided aright, then only shall we know true greatness and everlasting peace.
