 Great throngs gather at some points of disturbance in almost all the cities Railroad trains are hurled over the rocks; workmen beaten to death in sight of their wives and children; factories assailed by mobs; and the whole country asking the question, what next?' Anarchy Is abolition of the rights of property; IL makes your store and your house and your family mine, and mine yours It is wholesale robbery It means hell let loose on earth, and society a combination of devils incamate.
 The present condition Of things, and the whole conditions to which they are tending, clearly indicate to observing minds that some great change, upheaval, or revolution, is near at hand. The gulf between the rich and poor is continually widening; tle outlook for harmony between capital and labor is anything but re. assuring With a restless, dissatisfied and often rebellious people, the na- tions of the earth at the present day are full of the distress which was predicted by our Lord as one of the evidences of his second coming"

SEES WAR COMING;
 THEN MILLENNIUM
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST BE. LIEvEs HE SEES SIGNS OF
 END OF THE WORLD
Elder Jacobs Takes View that Labor and Capital Are Further Apart,
 Rather than Getting Together.

Predicting that 6 war between cap
 ital and labor is imminent, and that the
 will be signal of the near destruc-
 tion of the earth, and the second re
 turn of Jesus Christ, Elder J. T.
 Jacobs, of the Seventh Day Adventist church in this city who resides at
 S06 West Grand avenue, referred to Ipany existing conditions in the com " Percial world to prove his statements lin an interview yesterday He spoke |of the great wealth in the world, and declared that there is also increasing
 poverty He stated that not a hun dred years ago practically every man in the United States was a landlord while today the industries are con. trolled by a comparative few.
 Speaking further on the subject Elder Jacobs said 'sThe world today Is filled with wealth and princely splendor. This condition is fitly de scribed by the prophet in the words Their land also is full of silver and gold; neither is there any end of tleiI treasures. Isa 2:7.n And this,p he
 said, was to come to pass in the
 las. days
 Tn a striking manner this has been | fulfilled. as may be seen from the fol lowing statement of facts: In 1900 the worlds gold supply was valued at $l ,250' 100000 In 1890. only 90 years | later, 1t had increased to s5.700, ,000,- 1 600. The increase. therefore, during

let him be the big bear One day the little fellow ran home smiling and said; Mother, I was almost the big row" The next day he flew to his mother and cried: T was the big bear today, and l earned it, too"
 What pity it is that so many men land women of today have not yes learned that they may be the big bear only when they have earned it.
 The kindergarten ring is one of the few places where absolute equality reigns, and happy is the child who car learn in a game to respect the rights of others Under the direction of a good lOindergartner, each child learns to hold his own in work and play, and to yield help to any one needing 1t, T1is ability 60 work and to play with other people is of highest import ance, for it is one of the essential qualities for leadership. Often grown men and women say they would give anything if they could understand people better. The child in the kin dergarten is beginning in the right time and place to have those expo riences that enable him to understand human nature, to adjust himself to his place in society The Kindergarten lis worth all 1t costs if it helps the clild to find his true relation to his fellow man.
 Often in these days the plea is made that the child is better off in the home. and that parents are the best teachers. Not even the most cultured parents, with the best in- tentions, can furnish even a poor sub. stitute for the associations with other children; they seem to forget that cnlldren,like grownups, must live with their contemporaries not with their ancestors, The time for children 10 begin living Is in childhood: the time for them to learn their sociai relatians Is when they are young enough to be nodded by their asso- citations.

VALUE OF THE KINDERGARTEN.

Several years ago an incident oe. cured in Boston kindergarten that illustrates the value of kindergarten training. The children played a game in which the one who could run the fastest became the big bear, and as such had special privileges. Charles, an only child of wealthy parents, wanted very much to be the big bear. He cried and whined when others won the race. At home he begged his mother to ask the kindergartner to let him be the big bear just once, even if he did not win IT. Tae induf- gent mother felt that Charles was much abused but she waited few
