The awful Scourge that Ike
mighty avalanche is now devastating
the fairest parts Of Europe is not the
time of trouble of Daniels prophecy,
but il is undoubtedly the prelude TO It.
Soon the Turk will make his last stand
at jerusalem. the day Of salvation will
end. the great day of the Lord will
begin. the time OF trouble such as
never was will suddenly break upon
the world. the King OF glory will ap-
pear. and the great conflict so long
waged with sin will forever end
What has the Eastern question or
the future OF the Turk 10 do with
Scripture, and why so much concern
about whether Turkey or some other
power shall occupy Constantinople?
More than q centuries ago the LORD
revealed TO the prophet Daniel events
that would take place among earthly
powers in connection with the closing
scenes Of earth's history. as follows:
And he shall plant the tabernacles
Of his palace between the seas in the
glorious holy mountain; yet he shall
come to his end. and none shall help
him. And at that time shall Michael
stand up the great Prince which
standeth for the children OF thy peo-
Pile: and there shall be time of trou-
BILE. such as never was since there was
nation even to that same time: and
at that time thy people shall be deliv-
cred. evtly one that shall be found
written in the book. And many Of
them that sleep in the dust OF the
earth shall awake. some 10 everlasting
life, and some to shame and everlast-
ing contempt" Dan. 11:45; 1871. 2.
This is the conclusion Of long
prophecy that begins with the Medo-
Persian kingdom and closes with the
establishment OF the eternal Kingdom
and the resurrection.
Soon after the death Of Alexander
the Great, his generals formed COM
pact for the government OF his en-
pire; but It was soon broken, and out
OF his conquests four kingdoms arose
toward the four winds Of heaven"
It was not long after this division had
been effected till Cassander had sue

\. G. Powell, a former member of the

cent of the murder of Mary Phagan.
Il was an intimate friend of Judge
Roam" Judge Powell's letter stated.
IF he were living 1 would not at

mouth is closed by death, 1 feel it is
due to him and to Frank that l should
