are they helpful and e,evatlng? DO
they teach good lessons? But as I
don't go to tie movies maybe | have
20 right to say anything about them.
At any rate, | am not going to have
any argument with any one about
them. Because We ave the war and
the low price CT .ton and the cry OF
no money on our hands and these are
enough fer any one to have to talk
about
BY the way, talking about the war,
do you read your Bible that greatest
of all Books? Have you read the 24ta
chapter OF Matt ew, in which Christ
foretells the destruction OF tee
temple? And the disciples asked r
the sign of his coming. and ye shall
hear of wars and rumors of wars; see
that We he not troubled; for all these
things must come to pass, but the end
is not yet For nation shall rise
against nation, and kingdom against
kingdcm; and t.ere shall be famines,
and pestilences, and earthquakes, n
divers places" And then, after tell
ing them What they must do and must
not do and tie iniquity which shall
abound, he says: And he shall send
his angels with a great sound of a
trumpet, and they s3all gather his
elect from tae four winds, from one
end of heaven to the other. Now
learn a parable of the fig tree; when
lis branch is yet tender, and putteth
forth leaE es, ye know that summer is
nigh So likewise ye, when ye shall
see all these things, know that it is
near, even at the doors. Verify I say
unto you, this generation shall not
pass, till all these things be fulfilled y
Then you remember Paul in one of his
letters to Timothy said: This know
also, tat in the last days perilous
times shall come" And then in that
same connection he goes on to say:
''For men sail be lovers of their
own selves, covetous, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankfui, unholy, without natural
affection, trucebreakers, false accus-
ers. incontinent, fierce, despisers OF
those that are good, traitors, heady,
highminded, lovers of pleasures more
than lovers of God; having form Of
godliness, but denying tie power
thereof; from such turn away" Isn't
that a pretty good enumeration OF
present day conditions? 1t is truly
an age of selfishness in which we
live. Isn't this an age in which the
form of godliness largely prevails
Don't you think this is the greatest
transition period in the worlds history
in which We live? Is it probable at
We are nearing the beginning of the
end? 1t shall not come until tAe gos-
pei has been preached to every nation.
1t does not say until e;ery nation has
been converted Has not the gospel
been preached to every nation? l am
not going to get into any argument on
this subject either, but just want you
to think little. You remember how
the people did in the days of Noe
T: ink about this catalog of the nine
teen sins enumerated by Paul in his
letter to Timothy, and turn about you
and see Low many o. Ihem are pre-
vailing in this Christian land of ours
and that Christian land over yonder
Where the war is raging and brother
is killing brother. And think about
how Eye have heaped treasure for the
last days" For tie coming of the

Mr.. Wilson referred to the new tarlfr
law. the new currency law, the new
trade commission law and the labor
provisions O. the new antitrust law as
the means through which the soil
everywhere mas been laid bare out OF
which monopoly is slowly to be eradl-
Gated" He added that undoubtedly
the means by whic:. credit has been
set free is at the heart of all these
things; is the keypiece OF the whole
structure"
Referring to the 'inopportuneness
of the currency law the president SAID,
/"Tne war which has involved the
whole of tie heart of Europe has made
it necessary that the United States
should mobolize its resources in the
most effective way possible" He
spoke of the difficulty Of marketing
the cotton crop OF the country and
added that mo doubt in the light O.,

ings TIE problems of the railroads Will

q family pet, as he went through
