of the Turkish government Will be ac-
cording to prophecy, or the Eastern
Question, was Pastor Libby's SUBJ
ject at the Seventh Day Adventist +
tent in Orofno Tuesday evening. The
sermon was based on Dan. l AS, which
reads: ''He shall plant the taberna-
cles of his palace between the seas in
the glorious holy mountain; yet he
shall come to his end and none shall
help him. He asid in part:
IF this language applies to Tur-
key, as we certainly understand it
does, and will endeavor to prove, the
time is coming when Turkey will re-
move it's capitol from Constantinople
to or in the vicinity of Jerusa EN-,
the latter place being located at the
glorious holy mountain Mount Of
| Olives) which is between the Mediter
ranean and the Dead sea. -
The first part of the chapter was
sketched and compared with history
! to show that it contains a literal
prophecy of the overthrow of the Per-
slams by Alexander the Great, king of
Grecia; of the division of Grecia
among Alexander four leading gen
erals; that their Kingdoms were to
wage war until the annexation of
Greece and Macedon by Syria, thus
constituting the liking Of the north =
as against Egypt, the liking of the
south. - Here he asserted that the
expressions, king of the north and
liking of the south throughout the
remainder of the chapter are recog-
nized by Bible students as having re-
ference to the governments occupying
these respective territories. Hence,
the Turkish government is the king of
the north, and it is this power that is
to finally come to its end without help
or protection from other nations.
History was introduced to show
how Turkey, 1.-The sick man of the
East has been vassal power since
1910; how, because of its stragetic
position on the map, it has been pro-
tected by western European powers
against the Russian government,
whose constant ambition since the
days of Peter the Great, has been to
control the Bosphorus and the Dardan-
Giles as highway for its navy to the
high seas of the world.
Mr.. Libby spoke of the steady
whiting to which Turkey has had
to submit, notwithstanding the .4help"
; received; and as evidence that the
, time is rapidly nearing when none
t shall help him. at all, attention was
, called to the fact that in the Turk s
combats with the Italians, and also
| with the Balkan states, he has al
ready stood alone.
"All these things" said the speak
!, er, constitute an irrefutable array
of evidence of the correctness of this
Interpretation and, hence, we conf.
IDENTIFY expect the removal of the
Turkish capitol as ! have explained
also the final end of that nation
H. Asiatic as we'll as European.
'.And what is the significance o,
all this? The next thing that fol
lows the Unemployment of European
Turkey, according to the sure word O
prophecy, is the standing up O

Christ; that he is now acting as Higl
Priest, or the mediator, for mankin,
in the heavenly courts; that when h

The standing up of Michael will b.
very speedily followed by what i
