hunuTeQS OF millions OF tnelf patrons.
They Will move into the ranks with
what the Bible calls the 'ssong Of the
drunkard . And what a bloated and
soaked and bleareS and blasted and
hiccoughing and nauseating host. If
now, according to q scientist in Eng
land, there are so. 600 deaths annually
from strong drink and in the United
States, according to another estimate,
So, Oo0 deaths annually from strong
drink, what an army Of living drunk
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 Oh the head of beer barrels
the dead march Of soulsi 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 Oh 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 the books, 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 ali those regiments, Voltaire, who
closed his life Of assault upon Christian
ity by writing: Happiness is dream,
and only pain is real I have thought
plan than to resign myself to the inev-
liable and to reflect that flies are born to
be devoured BY spiders and man to be
consumed by care. I wish had never
been born" Oh, the God forsaken regi-
ments Of infidels, who, after having
spent their life in antagonizing the on
~ influence that could make the earth
better, gather with their low wit, and
their vile sneer, and their learned lido
cy, and their horrible blasphemy, to
take part against Gcd and righteous
ness in the great Armageddon!
To Kill Christians.
Other regiments who will march in
on the wrong side i'll the battle will be
the regiments Mohammedan. At the
present time there are about rs. 600, 900
Moslems. 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 so, 600 Ar
menians iii the last two or three years
is only one chapter in their effort to de-
vastate the earth of everything but
themselves. So determined are they in
their bad work that all the nations Of
fI,o 70
them, "Stop, or we will make you stopp'
My hope is that long before that last
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 i'll the book of Revelation in |
the figure of the drying up Of the river
Euphrates, and she is going rapidly,
thank God. In 1920, by the Greek in.
surrection, she received the first destruc-
tive blow. In 1928 the 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 hu-
inflated the Turkish fleets, and Greece /
was free. Weaker and weaker the Turk
ish power has become, and it 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 in all the earth,
and if William E. Gladstone were
prime minister Of England the Turkish
government 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 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 on the wrong side, I have to tell /
you that what is left of heathenism at
that time will march into the conflict.
There are $50, 900, 900 fetish idolators, I
800, 100000 Brahmins, 400, 10000 I
Buddhists. Through the sublimest move
ment of this century, the missionary /
movement, all the time gathering in
momentum, I believe all Or nearly all
of that 770, 900, 900 of heathendom will t
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
