the HrSC verse or chapter lZ, II
 read: At that time shall Michael
 stand up the great prince which standeth for the children of thy
 people, and there shall be time of
 trouble, such as never was since
 there was a nation even to that
 same time! and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake
 The standing up of Michael, the great time of trouble, the battle of Armageddon. the deliverance of Gods people, the second coming of Christ, the resurrection from the dead and the end of the world will according to the scriptures, all quickly follow the dissolution of the Turkish Empire.
 In the wreck and ruin of the Turkish government the world sees only a change in the map of Eu- rope; but the student of this pro- phecy sees what the world does not see, he knows what the world does not know. He sees not only the wreck and ruin of the Turkish power, but the wreck and ruin of every nation in the world and a change not only in the map of Eu- rope, but in the map of the whole world. He knows that then the God of Heaven will set up His kingdom which shall never pass away, but shall break in pieces and consume these kingdoms and it shall stand forever. Dan. 2:44 and Dan. 7:H.
 Hence connected with the Turkish question is found one of Gods signs that he has set before the world of the approaching end of the world. l He has taken this strange situation in the near East which has so long attracted the attention of the na- ions, as means of calling the att .etion of the whole world to the sure word of prophecy; and the cul- nination of this prophecy is the lope of the Gospel.
 Not a New Theory.
 This is not new theory, on the contrary this solution of this Turk sh question has long been the be- ief of many Bible students. As ar back as the time of Luther this 'rophecy relative to the Turk was O interpreted.
 Upon one occasion Martin Luther aid: If we beat back the Turk he prophecy of Daniel will be full He'd, and the end is near. Then he day of Judgment is surely at UT doors."-Martin Luther, by Gus 1T Freytag, page II.
 For more than half century this eople -(The Seventh Day Adven- .. sts)-with whom I have the honor be identified, has been engaged teaching this solution of the astern question. And today by pull : 1t, platform and press, in public nd in private this view of this re- prophecy is being brought the attention of millions of peo- e in all parts of the world. The more l study this prophecy, C e more l am convinced that the e 'wnfall of the Turkish government J
 Europe, will be the last signal | yn given by God for the honest in | art to make a rush for the king c 'm of God and His Righteousness. u his step on the part of the Turk II Ill give great impetus to the g eatest religious movement of the es. And this movement will em- al ace the world wide proclamation Ill
 the three-fold message of Rev. z; :6-12. eC This, my hearers. is the warning W signed of God for you and I, and Ia all men. Are we ready for the re 'ming to this end of "the king to
 the north" the Turkish govern Tn mt? Prepare to meet they God?" oi -et ready, get ready, get ready" Tn
