THE eJEFFER SONIAN

Holland!
If God was the ally of the Pope and the
Kings, how came it that the Thirty Years
War was failure for the Catholics?
How came it that the Pope and the Haps-
burgs at last had to surrender to the Italian
patriots?
The same old policy of the italian Popes
and the Hapsburg kings caused them to I'M
dertake the conquest of the Greek Catholics
of the Balkan Peninsula.
The Austrian monarch broke the solemn
Treaty of Berlin (1878) and seized the Greek
Catholic provinces of Bosnia and Herze-
govina.
After this criminal breach of treaty, the
Jesuits poured into the conquered provinces
and undertook to make the people the foot
kissers Of the Italian Pope.
This created intense dissatisfaction, but the
Greek Catholics were helpless.
Next, Austria and the Pope reached out
for Servia, another Greek Catholic country.
In the early months of this year, the king
Of Servia was coerced into. treaty with the
Italian Pope, which paved the way for the
Papal conquest Of Servia.
Then the bitter rage Of the harassed people
found vent in the assassination of the actual
ruler of Austria.
The Archduke who was shot by the young
Greek Catholic was fanatical Roman Cath
Ollie, and a blind slave of the plotting Jesllits.
Austria demanded the virtual surrender of
Servian independence, refusing to listen to
mediation or delay.
The family that virtually owns Germany
backed up the family which virtually owns
Austria-and then came the War.
Did God send It,?
If so, He sent it by way of Rome and the
Jesuit criminal society.
IF God sent this fearful calamity upon the
poor human race-with its awful waste Of
life; its immeasurable woe to innocent men,
and innocent women and children; its APP
palling destruction of property, it's crimes
against young girls, it's general relaxation of
all the restraints which law and order place
on human passions-if God did all this, aohat
WOULD the DEVIL do to us, If he got loose,
AND HAD 4 CHANCE TO MIKE HIS
HE'LL HERE ON EARTH?
It seems to me that the rational view is
something like this:
Man is creature of passions, some of which
are good. and some of which are bad: between
these conflicting passions, we poor humans
spend our whole hives
When the bad gets the upperhand, we go
wrong, and do evil and commit crimes.
Nations are nothing more than large coll.
lections of individuals, and when the rulers
of nations go wrong, we have terrible wars
into which people who cannot help themselves
are drawn and made to suffer and to kill each
other. j+,@e At
[ cannot see ''the hand of God" in a MUIR
der, whether it is committed by one person in
plain clothes, or by ten thousand men in uni.
form. Hl.
cannot see ''the hand of God" in any sort
of wrong. u
What see in such crimes against humanity
as this European war is, the evil passions Of
rulers, who plunge their subjects into the

III God Sent Us This European
War, What Would the Devil
DO. Provided He Got
a Chance?
a Chance :?

IN lIl0 ldU0SG ISSUE OIL i he OllSlldn 1uu0A,
there is an article by Rev. w. j. McGoth-
lin, D. D.
When a Christian is not only preacher,
but a Doctor of Divinity he is in more or
less danger of identifying himself with Je-
hovah.
Some Doctors of Divinity seem inclined to
mistake themselves for the Divinity.
This lamentable mistake frequently leads
comparatively ordinary man to utter somo
very extraordinary sentiments, opinions and
predictions
Such man will become so chummy with
the Omnipotent, that he will say, GOOD wants
this" and "God doesn't approve of that" and
Good sends this" and God means to do
when this Doctor of Divinity had his last
confidential chat with the Trinity.
Now you must be patient with me, and ex
cuse me for saying that a Doctor of Divinity
who talks, or writes in that strain, gives me
touches of sciatica, and lumbago, and "4el-
Ter Johnders."
This brings me right back to the Rev. W.
j. McGlothlin, D. D. He says
''The war was sent on by God; let hold
fast to this. France prepared us the soup, Servia
started the fire under it, Russia brought it to us
and England is the kitchen chef. We know fairly
we'll how it came about on the human side. But
est. And they intended it for evil to people,
but God intends it for good"
This European War grew out of the same
Papal and Dynastic policy that has caused so
many other bloody struggle les.
The Hapsburg family have practically
owned Austria for hundreds of years.
They are bigoted Catholics, and they were
the first to admit the Jesuits into Ger
many.
When Pope Clement XIV. abolished the
Jesuit society on account of it's criminal code
and it's criminal record, and aO0S poisoned by
the JesaMts it was the Hapsburg family that
concealed the criminals and harbored them
until they could again intrigue themselves
into Papal favor.
It was the Hapsburg family that wiped out
Professionalism in Hungary, Bohemia, and
Austria proper The horrible atrocities with
which this religious persecution was waged,
will be described in the January number Of
W0tsOn'S Magazine.
It was the Hapsburg family that drove out
the peaceable Salzburgers some of whom fled
to Georgia and settled near Savannah, where
their worthy descendants still live
It was the Hapsburg family that waged
such ferocious war on the Dutch, because
the Dutch wanted to worship God, and not
the Pope.
At least 100000 Dutchmen were butchered
in that long and bitter struggle.
1t was the Hapsburg family that started
the Thirty Years War on the Professionals,
by violating solemn treaties and destroying
Protestant churches.
Historians tell us that this war cost the
lives of 100000 human beings, and left
Germany bleeding at every pore.
It was the Hapsburg family that sent
armies to: Italy, again and again, to crush the
italian patriots who tried to throw off the
