PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED.
European Wars Foretold, Declares Sew
enth Day Adventist.

The gospel tent was again filed last
night and many had to stand on the
outside. Evangelist F. L. Abbott lee
tured on the eastern question, basine
his remarks on Dan. II. He said in
part:
The solemnity of the times in which
we arc living should lead men and won,
en- 70 the study of the Bible. This east
ern question, the destruction of the Turk
has agitated the whole world.
| Why should such small power as
Turkey stir up and agtate the states
men OF the world Turkey is the bal
ancing power Of Europe. The nation
| that drives Turkey from Constantinople
and thus gains her way to the Indies
will become the nation Of the world
Russia has tried this and is still trying,
but the other powers of Europe will not
allow il. So Turkey is suffered to keep
Constantinople and thus the balance OF
Europe has been preserved
In all the wars that Turkey has un-
dertaken other nations in Europe have
interviewed and helped her. But there
viii come a time when he shall come
to his end and none shall help him" A
war now is threatening between Turkey
and Greece. If this war takes place and
if Turkey should in anyway be involved
in the European conflict, we may ex.
pect the immediate fultillment Of Dan
il:45, which says that the Turk will be
driven out from Constantinople and that
he will set up his government in Jeru-
salem and there come to his end. This
great event is represented in Rev. 1912
as the drying up of the River Euphrates.
When once Turkey is driven from Con-
stantinople and exterminated, then all
nations will prepare for universal war,
the power that balanced Europe having
been swept away,
Then we may look for what Dan.
1871 says, And at that time shall Miehal
Christ stand up Christ will then pre-
pare to come to this earth and the time
OF trouble will begin, but the promise is
that. Eat that time thy people shall be
delivered We are living in solemn
times. for this event is near at hand.
Evangelist L. F. Passebois then fol-
lowed, showing that in the seven plaques
which take place the gathering of all
nations for the battle of Armageddon
is only one of series of seven plaques
which is being poured out upon the
wicked lust before the Lord comes. He
said as the plaques of Egypt were hit
eral so the seven last plaques OF Rev.
Is are literal.
We are nearing tn time of the out
OF these plaques, the gathering
OF all nations, end the driving of the
Turk out of Europe is evident by the
prophecies, but the evangelist said EN-
that of the day and hour no
one knew.
The evangelist read some scriptures in
Rev. H. giving a warning against wor-
Shipping the beast and receiving the mark,
for upon that class of people the plaques
would fall. Monday night the mark of
the beast will be explained.
The evangelist said that though all
the peace societies had predicted peace,
the Seventh Day Adventists for the last
so wears have been predicting what we
see now taking place in Europe, for the
Bible prophecies of a time of trouble
such ais there never was, Just before the /
coming of Christ and when they shall
say peace and safety then sudden de- |
struction shall come upon them.
Evangelist F. w Stray was unable |
to he present at the tent, and the lee |
lure on "Mormonism Exposed was post /
nonei. II will be taken later, and fully /
advertised. so everyone may know about /
L and be able to come and hear the
ruth about that system of deception.
