pointed. for no such thing will ever
transpire," said Carlyle B. Haynes,
the evangelist, last night at the Cos
pei tent on Oklawaha avenue. in his
address on The Millennium" He
continued
Thousands of men are being killed
in the wars now taking place, yet
some religious leaders and statesmen
have apparently fallen asleep, and
are dreaming and talking OF world
peace. This arbitration and peace
talk in the United States is the cause
of wink and smile in all Europe. This
Utopist's dream will never be realiz-
ed Lasting, universal peace will new
er come between the nations OF this
world.
Today Europe is an armed camp
fighting craft guard her harbors; the
men and boys are thinking and talk
ing war; even the little children are
playing at war War is in the very
air. All this helps to augment the
war spirit
In Europe universal, devastating
war is considered inevitable by the
soldiers and statesmen of the world
While some of the rulers there send
out prettily engraved invitations for
other nations to participate in peace
conferences, they at the same time
are crowding their gun factories to
the limit with orders for larger guns.
and their navy yards for bigger war
vessels. That they expect war. and
not peace, is shown by the well-nigh
crushing burden of taxation which
they have imposed upon their people.
And while this menace of univer-
sal war hangs over the world some
religious and political leaders, who
have indeed seen a vain vision, are
prophesying that universal peace is
about to prevail throughout the en-

the navies dismantled. But they over
look the fact that the Bible says that
when such a movement for peace
comes into existence as the present
peace movement, with President
Taft's attempts for universal arbitra
ton treaties, and the existence of the
Hague tribunal, all OF it is simply a
sign of the near approach of the end
of the world and the great battle OF
Armageddon. this prophecy being
found in l Thessalonians, SIS: When
they shall say peace and safety, then
sudden destruction cometh upon

sign of the second coming of Jesus.
Never in the history of the world

the United States and Japan, to keep
up armies and navies, and il things
continue to go on as they are going
now, not many years will pass before
the war cloud, which hangs over the
world today, will break in the most
furious war that the world has ever
seen. That this is so is amply testi
fed to in the prophecies of the Bible.
and in these same prophecies il is
clearly stated that this universal war
will result in the coming OF Jesus
Christ to close up the history OF the
world by the destruction OF all exist
ing kingdoms, and the establishment
of his universal and everlasting king
dom upon their ruins.
According to the Bible the millen
mum, which is a Latin word meanns
a thousand years, will not be spent
by Gods people upon this earth in a
condition of peace The scriptures in
no place teach that all the world IS
to be converted to Christ The mil
lennium is TO be a time Of desolation
for the earth, when its cities viii be
broken down, and everything on il de-
stroyed Gods people during that
time, will be with him in heaven. and
at the end OF the millennium. or
thousand years, they are to return 70
this earth, with the Holy City. which
John saw coming down from God Ont
OF heaven, and Will dwell on this
earth forever"
Tonight Mr. Haynes will deliver a
propheticaI and historical lecture,
which will be illustrated with charts
and other illustrations, bearing on the
inspiration OF the Bible, and based on
the 7th chapter of Daniel, which he
has called Cartoons OF the Master
Artist"
