Of infidels, who, after having spend
their life in a~ntagonizing the only in
that could make the earth bet
ter, gather with their low wit and their
vile Sneer and their learned idiccy and
their horrible blasphemy to take part
a against God and righteousness in n
great Armageddon!
Other regiments which Will march in

the regiments Mohammedan. At the
present time there ale about 175,0o0,-
900 Moslems. Their plain mission is
to kill Christians, demean womanhood
and take possession of the earth n 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 devastate the earth of every
thing but themselves. SO determined
are they in their bad work that all the
nations of the earth put together dare
say to them: Stop or we Will
make you STOP My hope is that long
before hat last battle of which l.
speak, the Turkish government, and
with it MohamnIedanism NAV be wiped
out of existence. The Turkish power,
for the last four hundred years has
been the mightiest hindrance on earth
ito religious liberty and moral Improve
ment. Her determination is prophe-
sled in the Book of Revelations in the
figure of the drying up'of the river Blu
pirates, and she is going. rapidly,
thank God! In 1920, by the Greek in
:%surrection, she received the first de-
i%structive blow. In 1928 the Turkoman
army Of 10000 was destroyed and the
cause of liberty advanced. In 1921,
England, France and Russia, not so
cautious as they have since been, at
Navarino, Inundated 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
last decade, Through her cruelty, has
lost the sympathy of every good man
and woman in all the earth, ana 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 bomb
bardment of the men-of-war of many
nations now lowering near the Bos-
phorus. Buff the Bible prophecy con
corning the drying up of the Euphra-
ties is not fulfilled before the battle
mentioned in my text, Mahammedan>
ism will march in with sword and poi
son and torch to take her part in the
great .Armageudon.
Other regiments ION that wrong side
will be made up of offenders of all
Sorts-the defrauders, the libertines,
1.-THE dynamiters, the anarchists, the op-
pressors land the foes of society, the
criminals of all nations, by whatever
name they are now called Or shall
then he called. They may not before
they have openly taken sides, but then
they will be con PEELED to take sides.
With what venom, with what violence,
with what desperation they will fail
into line at the great Armageddon!
Now let us look at the forces to be
marshaled in the Armageddon on the
;right.side.
First of all I mention the Regiments
Angelic. Alas!tthat the subject of de-
monOlogy seems better understood
than the subject of a%ngelology But
the glorious spirits around the throne
and all the bright immortals that fill
1.-THE galleries and levels >of the universe
are: apt ito take pant in that last great
fight; and@the regiments angelic ;aye
the o1iy arguments capable of meeting
the regiments plutonic. To show you
something of an angels power, ] ask
you to consider that just one of them
slew $4,000 of SeEnachcrib's hosts in
a might, and it is not d tough arithme-
tical.questiOn to sol1 e. it one angel can
sslay $4,000 troops lin "a might, how
many a 5OO,OOO,OOO tof them Stay?
The old Book says that '''They excel in
strength" 1t is not "a celestial mob,
but a disciplined host, and they know
their rank. Cherubim, seraphim,
thrones, municipalities and powers
And the leader of these regiments is
Michael, the Archangel.
:ing into the fight will be the Regiments
Ecclesiastic. According to the last ac-
count, and practically only in the be-
ginning of the great Gospel movement
which proposes to take the whole
earth for God there are 1000. 900
Methodists, 3,725,OCO Baptists, 1885,
1893 Presbyterians, 1,23O,O00 Lutherans
and 100000 Episcapalians. But the
present statistics of churches will be
utterly swamped when, after all the
great denominations haNe dome their
best work, the slowest of all the sects
Will have more numbers than the pres
;ent enrolment of all the nations of
ChriStendOm. You see. by that time,
an atheist or intidel will be a curiosi-
rtN, and he will be looked at as we look
:at a man With long hair reaching be-
low his shoulders, and long finger
nails 1that are never cut. and a stare in
the eyes Indicating incipielrt 1a1aaacy-
NOT ITO 'be argued with, but to be pitied;
while it will not be ali unusual thing
to see men as much devoted to their
religion as Francis Xavier, who, de-
voted to his religion, When he went
Through the streets asking an to come
to hear his faith expOundeh. in ten
years planted the Gospel in fifty ma
toms and baptised over a million souls.
And the great hosts of believers will
fill the earth, making the 2,317.O 900
cOmlaatants that NerXes reviewed a
~corporaT's guard in comparison.
Again., the regiments elemental Will
come into that battle on the right side.
The winds! God showed what he
could do with them when the spiint-
cred timbers of the ships of the Span
ish Armada were strewn on the rocks
Of Scotland, Norway and the Hebrides.
The waters He showed what he could
do with them when he put the whole
earth under them, leaving it sub-aque-
ous $50 days. The earthquakes! He
