these men have been trying to destroy
1t Many of the books, magazines and
newspapers, through perpetual scof at
Christianity. and some of the universe
ties have become recruiting agencies
for those regiments. The greatest
brigadier of all those regiments was
Voltaire, who closed his life of as
sault upon Christianity by writing:
Happiness is q dream, and only
pain is real. have thought SO for 81
years and know no better plan than to

regiments of infidels, who, after hav-
ing spent their life in antagonizing the
only influence that could make the
earth better, gather with their low wit
and their vile sneer and their learned
idiocy and their horrible blasphemy to
take part against God and righteous
ness in the great Armageddonl
Other regiments who will march in
on the wrong side in the battle will he
the re Giments Mohammedan. At the
present time there are about IFS, 600, 900
Moslems 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 $4,000
Armenians in the last two or three
years is only one chapter in their effort
to devasIate the earth of everything
but themselves. So determined are
they in their bad work that all the ma
tions of the earth put together dare
not say TO them: "Stopl or we will
make you stop" NY hope is that
long before the last BATTLE of which
! speak the Turkish govern
ment, and with it Northumberland,
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
improvement. Her determination is
prophesied in the Book of Revelations
in the figure of the drying up of the
river Euphrates, and she is going rap
idly, thank God! In 1920, the Tnrko-
man 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 Ma
varino humiliated the Turkish fleets.
and Greece was free. Weaker and
weaker the Turkish power has be-
come, and it has lost Algiers and Wal
lachia, and more than all, during the
past decade, through her cruelty, has
lost the sympathy of every good man
and woman in all the earth, and if
William E. Gladstone were prime min
lister of England the Turkish govern
ment would very soon either quit her
outrages, or go down under the bonn
bardment of the men of war from
many nations now lowering near the
Bosphorus But if the Bible prophecy
concerning the drying up of the Eu-
pirates is not fulfilled before the battle
mentioned in my text, Mohammedan-
ism will march in with sword, and
poison, and torch to take her part in
the great Armageddon.
Other regiments on that wrong side
will be made up of offenders of all
sorts-the defrauders, the libertines,
the dynamiters, the anarchists, the OPP
pressors 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
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 Armageddon! Now
let US look at the forces to be mar
shaled in the Armageddon on the right
side.
First of all, mention the regiments
angelic. Alas! that the subject of de-
neurology seems better understood
than the subject of angelo!ogy. But
the glorious spirits around the throne
and all the bright immortals that Sill
the galleries and levels of the universe
are apt to take part in that last great
fight, and the regiments angelic are
the only regiments capable of meeting
the regiments plutonic- To show you
of an angels power, ask
you to consider that just one of them
slew 1S5, 900 of Senmacherib's hosts
in a night, and it is not a tough
question to solve, if one
angel can slay 155, 900 troops in a night
how many can 500, OOO, 900 of them slayP
The old Book says that They excel in
It is not a celestial mob,
but deciplined host, and they know
their rank. Cherubim. seran him
