contention was correct-that few peo.

showed that a two pfennig piece could.
Of course. be changed but once and a
i've pfennig piece only three times and
a ten pfennig only five times. The rise
begins with the twenty-five pfennis
coin, which can be changed sixty-four
times; the fifty pfennig piece 400 times
and mark-100 pfennigs-3,953 times.
The big figures come with the two mark
piece, or note. which can be changed
61,9S4 times; the three mark note. 391,-
$50 times and five marks 5.229.22
times. Prom this point the figures

The Lord has seen fit to associate the
name Armageddon, with the great con-

right and wrong, God and Mammon
with which this Age will close, perish
and the New Age of Messiah's glory
be ushered in. He has purpOsely used
highly symbolical figures Of speech In

with view to hiding certain impor

views agree with those Of other Bible

disagree. Each nearer must use his
own Judgment, do his own Bible study,
and reach his own conclusions.
Kindly remember that am not re-

by the Lord. My interpretations do in

WE'LL, it is all over but the
shouting with the shout coming
from the Democratic side OF the
fence. 1t was a great battle but
with the Republican party di-
vided as it was between Taft and
Roosevelt there was no chance
of either one winning and the
result was Democratic land
slide. People throughout the
nation were clamorlng for a
change and they have succeeded
in getting a Democ ratio ad minis-
tration.
The country was never in a
more prosperous condition than
it is at the present time and
there is no reason why prospect
ty should not continue. 1t is
now up to the Democratic party
to make good and we hope to see
them.
