As Billy pushed the ice door shut
He saw some distance from the hut,
Beneath the moonlight's silver glow.

One yell he gave and slammed the door.
The Monkeys sprang up from the floor
And followed Billy. knowing not
That he had found the lucky spot.

His comrades loud from every side.
Look. look" screamed Billy, bless my

Said Mickey. "Billy's found the Pole"
That night they hardly slept q wink,
What lucky Monks they were. Just

Next morning they pulled out the Pole
And turned their footsteps from the
goal.
How anxiously they looked each day
To spy their vessel in the bay.
At last above the snowdrifts vast
They sSw again the big tall mast.
And much relieved they felt, for they
Had gone dangerous length away.
SO nice 1t was once more to be
Aboard their ship, from perils free.
II took them quite a while to cut
Their boat from out her frozen rut,
But perseverance won at last,
And slowly she was worked out past
The great icebergs that tried to crush
Her up into frozen mush.
At last upon the open sea
They found themselves both safe and
free
And they made merry every day.
For they were on their homeward way.
Said Mikey. at IL lots OF fun

For forty years the ArmageddoD
forces have been mastering for both
sides of the conflict. Strikes. lockouts
and riots. great and small. have been
merely incidental skirmishes as the
~belligerent parties crossed each others
paths. Court and Army scandals in
Europe, Insurance, Trust and Court
scandals in America. have shaken pub
lie confidence. Dynamite plots, charg-
ed by turns on employees and on EN-
ployers, have further shaken conf
dence and tended to make each dis
trustful of the other. Bitter and angry
feelings on both sides are more and
more manifest. The lines of battle are
daily becoming more distinctly marked.
Nevertheless A~rmageddon cannot yet
be fought. Other matters intervene.
according to prophecy.
Gentle times have still two years to
run. The Image of the Beast" of our
context must yet receive We-power.
The Image must be transformed from
a mere mechanism to a living force.
Protestant Federation realizes that its
organization will still be futile unless
it receive vitalization-unless its clergy
directly or indirectly shall be recog
nized as possessed of apostolic ordina-
ton and authority to teach. This the
prophecy indicates will come from the
two horned beast, which. we believe.
symbolically represents the Church Of
England. High-handed activities of
Professionalism and Catholicism. operat-
ing in conjunction for the suppression
of human liberties, await this vfvify1ng
of the Image. This may come soon.
but Armageddon cannot precede 1t, but
must follow-perhaps a year after it.
according to our view of the Prophecy.
Still another thing i~ntervenes: Al
though the Jews are gradually flowing
into Palestine. gradually obtaining con-
troll of the land OF Canaan. and al
though reports say that already nine
teen m%illionaires are there. neverthe-
less prophecy requires an evidently
larger number Of wealthy Hebrews to
be there before the Armageddon crisis
be reached. Indeed w understand
that Jacobs. trouble" in the Holy
Land will come at the very close OF
Armageddon. Then Messiah's King

T~henceforth Israel In the land of prom
Use will gradually rise from the ashes
of the past to the grandeur of proph-
ecy. Through its Divinely appointed
princes Messiah's Kingdom. all-power-
full but invisible. will begin to roll
away the curse and to lift up mankind.
