the Regiments Mohammcdan. At the

Moslcms. Their plain mission is to
kill Christians, demean womanhood
and take possession of the earth in the
interest of Ignorance, superstition and
moral filth. The massacre of 1000
Armenians in the last two or three
years is only one chapter in their eff

that long before that last battle of

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 inn

prophesied in the Book of Revelations

Yea. to show the magnitude of the
| forces on the wrong side, | have to tell
you that what is left of heathenism at
that time will march into the conflict.
| There are $50, 900, 900 fetish idolaters,
30, 600, 900 Brahmins, 400, OO0,O 900 Budd-
hists. Through the sublimest move
ment of this century, the missionary
movement, all the time gathering in
momentum, | believe all, or nearly all
of that 770, 900, 900 of heathendom will
be converted to God. But that which
is not converted will come into the
, Armagcddon on the wrong side.
"Other regiments on that wrong
side will be made up of offenders of all
sorts-the dcfrauders, the libertincs,
the dynamitcrs, 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
