Shadows Of Coming Event

To the Editor:
The scotfers at Gods Word, of
whom Peter speaks in his prophecy,
declare that "all things continue as
they We're from the beginning of the
creation" 2 Peter 5:4. They profess
to see no marked change in the course
OF events, no signs of the times her
aiding the fulfillment of Bible pro-
phecy. The inspired writer says Of
them that they are "willingly ignor-
ant" 1t is possible to be willingly ig-
norant of even the most evident
truths. With the eyes shut. it is i'm
possible to see anything.
There can be no excuse for tgnor-
ance of the fact that all things have
not continued as they We're from the
beginning of the creation. 1t is true
that for thousands Of years no marked
change took place with respect to the
knowledge of the arts and sciences;
men lived in the days of George Wash
ington very much as they did in the
days of Abrahart They fought their
battles and hunted with different wea-
pons; but in other respects there was
nothing to indicate a marked distinc-
tlon between the civilization of the
eighteenth century A. d. and that of
thousand or two thousand yeasr ear
lier.
Great events had however occurred
in the political and in the physical
worlds. The Empire of Rome had
passed and the ten kingdoms foretold
in the prophecy Of Daniel had taken
its place. A revolt against the doc
trine of the divine right of kings had
begun to make headway in the world.
Absoutism in both state and church
had been terribly shaken and to a
large extent discredited among the
nations. And near the close of the
eighteenth century great signs had
appeared in the heavens; the sun had
been mysteriously darkened. and the
moon at the same time had been as if
blotted out of the sky. and had next
appeared as ball of blood.
But as we come down to "the last
days at which time these scoffers
were to appear. great change is to

in the cost of all kinds and grades of
paper says the department of COM
merce. 'it is wise to save waste
paper, rags, ETC., for they are valu-
able. There is at present an increased
demand for paper cardboard, etc.. In
the United States. The present daily
production of paper of all kinds is
mere than $4,000 tons. The present
daily consumption of old papers. all
kinds, for remanufacture is estimated
at about 5000 tons. Competent au-
thority states that rags form rs per
cent of the fibers we use in paper
making; waste papers, books, maga-
zines, etc, 21.4 per cent About $4,000
tons of rags and $4,000 tons of waste
papers, etc. were imported in 1913"
1t is further pointed out that the
saving of waste paper and old rags
ultimately means a conservation of
forests. and the cooperation of every
man, woman and child is essential if
the collection of waste materials is to
be made a success.

Old Rags Valuable

1t may not occur to the young man
5'iting to his sweetheart that the sta
tionery he uses was made of his
threadbare shirt. His sweetheart NAV
little think that the paper in which
she wraps a present for him was man
ufactured from her discarded stock
ings, but this is true, nevertheless.
These possibilities are cited by I'm
Gle Sam in bulletin which has been
issued calling attention to the manner
in which the people may aid in reliev-
ing the paper shortage by which the
United States is confronted.
The public is instructed to save.
among other things, clean cotton and
linen rags, soiled and dirty colored
rags. black rags, woolen rags, for all
of which there are specific uses in the
trade. Use is also found for white
clippings and shavings from paper of
the better grades, as well as printers
waste, white and colored writing pap
ers, clean wrapping paper, old books.
MAJ ines, periodicals and account
boo n folded newspapers, all
graz. boards, strawboard. cor
rugated boXboard, soiIed wrapping
papers. newspapers, etc, and burlap
\ baggjng and manila rope.
Waste paper and rags may be dis
( posed of by requesting some chari-
table society to call and receive them,
or by writing a waste paper and junk
dealer to call and receive them weekly
or monthly, or by collecting large
amounts and then securing prices
from junk and rag dealers, or by OBJ
tanning the cooperation Of one or
more large collectors and buyers of
this material.
OF the large amount of rags and
old papers used in the manufacture of
papers in this country 80 per cent is
imports. according to the department
of commerce. Imports have decreased
SO largely in the last few months, ow-
ing to conditions in Europe, that for
some time there has been almost a
famine in paper making raw mater
ials
"The effect of this increase in cost
of all paper-making materials has
been to make corresponding increases

be noted in the civilization of the
world. No longer do men live as their
ancestors lived a thousand years be-
fore; no longer do things continue to
move in their accustomed channels;
and whatever excuse could have been
made before the assertions of scoffers,
there is no possible excuse for them
now If George Washington could
arise from his grave and look out over
the world as it is today, and note the
events that have taken place in the
world since the close of the eighteenth
century, would he affirm that all
things had contiued and were now
going on as they had from the begin
ming of the creation? Probably he
would be impressed, above all things,
with the rapidity of travel and COM
munication over all parts of the world.
Speed is certainly the characteristic of
this age. Men live their lives at
rapid pace.
This however, does not contribute
to the happiness of the human race, or
to their health, or to their morality.
When we come to inquire what good
purpose is served by the lightning
rapidity with which things are done at
the present time. We can find no rea
sonable answer, except that it has
come about in the fulfilment of pro-
phecy, to prepare the way for the set
ting up of the kingdom of Christ.
All the world must be warned of the
coming of the day of God. While that
was yet far in the future, there was
no need that any means should exist
for accomplishing such a work. But
when that great day is nigh at hand,
and when the generation is reached
which is to behold the return of
Christ in the clouds of heaven, then
some means must be available for Civ
ing the warning to the world in the
time of that generation. God has
| prepared the means today, and he has
been and is preparing the world for
the coming of the warning, by the
work of the explorer, of the Bible
| societies, of the statesmen. and of the
inventor
Let US then not be among the scot
fers. saying, "Where is the promise
of his coming?" Neither let US be of
those who say We cannot tell whether
his coming will take place tomorrow or
at the end of ten thousand years. Let
US not shut our eyes to the signs of
the times and the plain fulflment of
Bible prophecy pointing to that event.
The promise is. "This gospel of the
kingdom shall be preached in all the
world for witness unto all nations !;
and then shall the end come" Matt.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the car. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused By an in
famed condition Of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachan Tube. When this tube is inlamed
you have a rumbng sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result. and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out Of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing hut an inhamed con-
dition Of the mucous usrfaces.
4 We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused By catarrhJ that can
mot be cured by Halls Casarrh Cure. Send for

Petty, men converse only with wo-
men. 1t is only a species of men who
never do.
Some men can eat at trot, drink at
gallop and let their tongue run a

When youths ship is waited by the
breeze of love, prudence flies with the

A man often places his own value on
himself by the bride he selects.
Love that is only half remembered
is only half delight.
The lover who pays in sighs is re-

A man is dead while yet alive if

best not to move Blakelock until every

poverty had driven him insane, is re-
covering his creative energy and will

that New York scientists and physi-
clans will hesitate a long while before

clared last night. But personally l
would be the last man in this city to
take advantage of her heroism. We
could probably communicate the dis
ease to her, but we are by no means
certain that we could control it after
it had once developed. Treatment of
infantile paralysis is still at such an
uncertain stage that it would be moth

purposes.
