Three unclean spirits will proceed
from the mouth Of the Beast. the
Dragon and the False Prophet, and
will assemble the kings and their ar
mics on one side for the great Arma-

pousness. imitation Of dignity, and
croaking. The symbol signifies that
these three Systems will send forth
similar teachings.
They will look soise, and see little re-

the Gentiles." Meantime, God has
been electing sanity few from all na-

In Els Kingdom. Neglecting the teach
ings of the Bible, Christendom thinks
that their armies are to fight the Chris
tan warfare. Suddenly the most ter
rible revolution will occur. (Revelation
Xviii, 10; xvi, 49, The masses will
hope for victory through the ballot.
When this final recourse shall have
failed the social explosion will bring
anarchy. ''There shall be a time OF
trouble such as never was since there
was a nation" Daniel eli, ~ Our Lord
added, Except those days be short
