and hlccoughing, and nauseating host!
II now according to scientist In Eng
land there are fifty thousand deaths
annually from strong drink, and in the
United States, according to another
estimate, ninety-eight thousand deaths
annually from strong drink, what an
army of living drunkards that implies,
coming up from the whole earth to
take their places in the last battle, es-
pecially as the evil increases and the
millions now staggering on their way
may be Joined by other millions OF re-
Inducements; 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 millions of vic
Tins of arrack, the spirituous 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 1t.
| Many of the books, magazines, and
newspapers, through perpetual soon at
| Christianity, and some of the universe
ties, have become recruiting agencies
for those regiments. The greatest brig
adler of all those regiments, Voltalre,
who closed his life of assault upon
Christianity by writing, Happiness is
a dream, and only pain Is real. ! have
thought so for eighty-four years, and
l know no better plan than to resign
myself to the inevitable and to reflect
that flies are born to be devoured by
spiders and man to be consumed by
care. l wish / had never been born" "
Oh, the God-forsaken regiments Of in
fdels, who after having spent their life
in antagonizing the only influence that
could make the earth better, gather
with their low wit and their vile sheer
and their learned idiocy and their hor-
rible blasphemy to take part against
God and Righteousness in the great Ar
mageddon!
Other regiments who will march in
on the wrong side in the battle will be
the regiments Mohammedan. At the
present time there are about one hun
dred and seventy-five million Mos
lens. Their plain mission is to kill
Christians, demean womanhood, and
take possession of the earth in the in
terest of ignorance, superstition, and
moral filth. The massacre OF fifty
thousand Armenians in the last two
or three years is only one chapter in
their effort to devastate the earth OF
everything but themselves. So deter
mined are they in their bad work that
all the nations of the earth put togeth-
er dare not say to them. stop! or we
will make you stop! My hope is thai
long before that last battle Of which
speak the Turkish government, and
with it Mohammedanism, may be
wiped out of existence.
First of all, l mention the regiments
Angelica Alas! that the subject OK de-
monology seems better understood
than the subject of angelology. Blu
the glorious spirits around the throne
and all the bright immortals that FL
the galleries and levels of the universe
are to take part in that last great fight
and the regiments angelic are the onl!
regiments capable of meeting the regi
, ments plutonic. To show you some
thing of an angels power, l ask you t
