Kingsley disagrees with his correspondent's optimistic outlook on the world situation. He cites the increases in armaments and the re-extension of Papal power (after the first Vatican Council) in "our once Protestant and fruitful land" as reasons for his pessimistic view about the future. He fortifies himself with faith that God has ultimate control and wishes for Christ's return.
