Sees END OF war NEAR
BECAUSE OF WORLD WAR

That this old world was fast going
to pieces because of the fearful crimes,
vice, drunkenness and war, was the
statement Of Evangelist G. p. Rodgers
al the Gospel Tent for colored people, at
Fourteenth and Poplar streets, last
night. Mr.. Rodgers took for his sub
iect "The Meaning OF Our Present
Wars" and using the Bible as basis
for the answer or solution, contended
that the present strife, bloodshed and
war could be well understood as fulfill
ing prophecy speaking to mankind re-
garding the signs of the times.
In spite of the pre:ense of peace con-
ferences to keep down wars, the nations
worldwide are arming TO the teeth. In
the past 25 years the weakest of ma
tions have become strong IN wartime
preparaticns. The South American
countries. Japan and the small European
countries strive to be rated as strong
military powers The prophecy in Joel
said. 'Iet all the men OF war draw
near; let the weak say; ] am strong.
When the disciples asked Jesus, as
stated in Matt. PALS; "What shall be
the sign of Thy coming and the end
of the world He mentioned among
many things wars, and the using of ma
tion against nation. Now all this is
before US. and if we are not careful the
prolonged present conflict will lose its
meaning TO us. We forget that all the
prophetic signs in process of fulhllment
point TO MS TO the end of the world
iDon4 scoff, friends Mr.. Rodgers
pleaded. Rather shape your lives toi
the soon coming end of this world. The
man who can read is without excus'
in regard to these matters, the speaker
said. No time in all the worlds history
fits prophecy like the present day Fo
instance. there is , Timothy 3.l-5. wher'
the last davs arc pictured. when mel
would be "lovers of their own selves
coveteous, boasters, proud, blasphemous
disobedient to parents. unthankful, un
holy" Never did time fit the state
ment here recorded as now, said tn
