To return to Daniel's prophecy. These words must not be limited to an application which confines it to the increase of light on the prophetic word, but should be taken in their widest signification. We believe they have reference to the recent and phenomenal increase both in Travel and Knowledge. How this mark of the end time is being manifested today is well known to all. Automobiles have become commoner than horses, and appearances indicate that within a few years at most aeroplanes will be used as a regular means of travel.
Restlessness now seems to be common to human nature.
The rising generation is obsessed with this spirit of running to and fro. Witness the enormous growth of immigration. Study railroad statistics and mark the rapid increase in the number of passengers carried, now numbering hundreds of millions annually. Everything is in a turmoil. Everybody is on the run, and hence it is that the Day of Rest has become a thing of the past.
