Walker responds to Fulton's questions about world peace and why his small son should have hope for the future. Walker is sure that "Christ will remain on this earth in spite of the evil forces that have never ceased to betray Him." He believes the future depends on the next generation's "acceptance [likely meaning recognition] of a satanic force and conspiracy."

Walker, Edwin A. (Edwin Anderson), 1909-1993
