The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940

Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
"My strength and power is in the Lord and I shall follow the rules laid
down in the Bible in my future campaign. 2 Samuel 22:33: 'God is my
strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.' 1 Chronicles 5:22:
'For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God and they
dwelt in their steads until the captivity.' This great War in the Air
is according to the will of God and to fulfill the Scriptures and to
work out God's plan for an eternal united kingdom of the world. You may
wonder at my confidence and my defiance of the enemy at this time when
it looks as if our chance for victory is absolutely impossible. I refer
you to St. Luke 1:37: 'For with God nothing shall be impossible.' Again
Luke 1:52: 'He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted
them of low degree.' I believe that if it is the will of God for us to
win he will give us the power to bring down the mighty who have tried
to oppress and destroy this nation, the land of liberty.
"Read Acts 17:26: 'And hath made of one blood all nations of men, for
to dwell on all the face of the earth; and hath determined the times
before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation.' All men are
brothers and it is God's will that they should dwell together on the
earth in peace. This great war, the last of all, is brought about to
teach men that they can not defy the laws of God.
"Romans 8:25 and 31: 'For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen,
is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we
hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it. What
shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against
us?' I am confident that God is for us, that he established this land
of America never to be destroyed. Then no matter how dark the situation
is now, even if all the nations of the world join against us, if God is
for us they shall not prevail.
