Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1896-10-17

ards that implies, coming up from the
whole earth to take their places in the
last battle, especially as the evil in
creases and the millions now staggering
on their way may be joined by other
millions of re endorsements, brigade
after brigade, with drunkards' bones
drumming on the head Of beer barrels
the dead march Of souls These millions
of victims of alcohol, joined by the mil
lions of the victims of arrack, the spir-
ituous liquor of China and India and
Arabia and Egypt and Ceylon and Siam.
Other regiments who will march into
the fight on the wrong side will be the
regiments infdel God gave but one
revelation to the human race, and these
men have been trying to destroy it.
Many Of thebooks, magazines and news
papers, through perpetual scott at Chris
tianity, and some of the universities,
have become recruiting agencies for
those regiments. The greatest brigadier
of all those regiments, Voltaire, who
closed his Ifs Of assault upon Christian
ity by writing: Happiness is dream,
and only pain is real. I have thought
so for "a years, and I know no better
plan than to resign myself to the inev-
liable and to reflect that flies ore born to
be devoured by spiders and man to be
consumed by care. l wish l had never
been born" Oh, the God forsaken regi-
ments of infdels, who, after having
spent their life in antagonizing the on
ly influence that could make the earth
better, gather with their low wit, and
their vile sneer, and their learned lido
oy, and their horrible blasphemy. to
take part against God and righteous
ness III the great Armageddonl
To XIII Christians.
Other regiments who will march in
on the wrong side in the battle will be
tho regiments Mohammedan. At the
present time there are about IT'S, coo, 600
Moslems. Their plain mission is to kill
Christians, demoan womanhood and
take possession Of the earth in the in
terest Of ignorance, superstition and
moral filth. The massacre of 80, 600 Ar
menians in the last two or three years
is only one chapter in their effort to de-
yastate the earth of everything but
themselves. So determined arc they i'll
their bad work that all the nations OF
the earth put together dare not say to
them, "Stop, or we will make you stop"
My hope is that long before that lust
battle of which I speak the Turkish
government, and with it Mohammedan-
ism, may be wiped out of existence. The
Turkish power for the last 400 years
has been the mightiest hindrance on
earth to religious liberty and moral i'm
provement. Her determination is proph-
esied in the book of Revelation in
the figure Of the drying up OF the r1ver
Euphrates, and she Is going rapidly,
thank God. In 1890, by the Greek in
surrection, she received the first destruc-
tive blow. In 1928 tho Turkoman army
of 10000 was destroyed and the cause
of liberty advanced. In 1927 England,
France and Russia, not so cautious as
they have since been, at Navarino hui
INFLATED the Turkish fleets, and Greece
was free. Weaker and weaker the Turk
ish power HIS become, and 1t has lost
Algiers and Wallachia, and, more than
all, during the past decade, through her
cruelty, has lost the sympathy Of every
good man and woman i'll all the earth,
and if William e. Gladstone were
prime minister Of England the Turkish
government would very soon either quit
her outrages Or 60 down under the bonn
bardment Of the men of-war from many
nations now lowering near the Bospor-
Us. But if the Bible prophecy concern
ing the drying up of the Euphrates is
not fulfilled before the battle mention
ed in my text Mohammedanism will
march in with sword and poison and
torch to take her part in the great Ar
mageddon.
On the Wrong Side.
Yea, to show the magnitude Of the
forces Oh the wrong side, have to tell
you that what is left Of heathenism at
that time will march into the conflict.
There are 100, 900, 900 fetish idolators,
900, 900 Brahmins, 400, 600, 900
Buddhists. Through the sublimest move
ment of this century, the missionary
movement, all the time gathering in
momentum, 1 believe all or nearly all
of that RIO, 900, 900 of heathendom will
be converted to God. But that which
is not converted will come into the Ar
mageddon on the wrong side.
Other regiments on that wrong side
will be made up of offenders of all sorts
the defrauders, the libertines, the dy-
namiters, the anarchists, the oppressors
and the foes of society, the criminals OF
all nations, by whatever name they are
now called or shall then be called. They
may not before that have openly taken
sides, but then they will be compelled
to take sides. With what venom, with
what violence, with what desperation
they will fall into line at the great Ar
mageddonl Is it not appalling, these
uncounted regiments Of the earth, to be
joined by the uncounted regiments from
perdition? Can any power cope with
them? Especially when I tell you who
their commander is, for so much in all
wars depends upon the chioftain. Their
leader will not be political accident
or military "happen So" By talent
and adroitness and courage and IN
ceasing industry he has come to the bad
eminence. He disputed the throne OF
heaven with the Almighty, but no one
has ever disputed the throne of eternal
night with this monarch, who will II
the last battle take the field in person.
Milton calls him Lucifer, Goethe calls
him Mephistopheles, the Hebrew calls
him Abaddon, the Greek calls him
Apollyon. Ee is the representation OF
all malevolence. Of all oppression, OF all
