crime In violation of justice, human
and Divine, to be rid of Jesus and His
teachings, SO this frog" spirit will ap-
prove of every violation of principle
necessary to their self-protection.
The croaking of these frog spirits or
doctrines will gather the kings and
princes. financial. political. religious
and industrial into one great army.
The spirit of fear. inspired by the
croakings of these frogs" will scourge
the passions of otherwise good and
reasonable men to fury. desperation.
IN their blind following of these evil
spirits, evi, doctrines, they will be
ready to sacrifice life and everything
on the altar of what they mistakenly
suppose is justice. truth and righteous
ness, under a Divine arrangement.

juncture Divine Power will step for

shall gather the marshaied hosts to
Armageddon-to the Mountain of De-
struction. The very thing which they
sought to avert by their union. fedora
ton, etc. will be the very thing they
will hasten. Other Scriptures tell us
that God will be represented by the
Great Messiah. and that He will be on
the side of the masses Thus we read

AS an earthly king does not hold him
