1.-THE EUROPEAN ,
. WAR AND THE
LAST DAYS"
First in Series of Ser
mons at. the Baptist
Church.
(Rev. Geo. w. Swope, Th. N.Y.

Is the European War the famed
battle of Armageddon? That it is
has been heralded by no few speak
ers and writers, particularly in the
earlier stages of the war. The Rus
sellites vehemently advocated the
affirmative of the statement. They
contended that America would yet
be in the confagration-a contention
that seemed perilously near fulfill
ment at times. The crises set US
gasping. Even the stentorian advo-
Gates of war grew calm. 1t IS one
thing to blow and another to blast,
one thing to scream, another to
shoot. Some of the bloody advocates
of $50 and whip all Europe
"clean 'em up" crowd-are much
like the colored preacher who was
putting on the srousement in his
sermon. "Oh, Grabriel, blow your
trumpet" he cried loudly, "Come
on Gabriel-comeon this minute and
blow your trumpet. Blow it now
now" Just then little boy hid
den in the tower with fox horn
blew one loud blast with his full
strength, and the preacher nearly
killed himself getting to the woods.
Oh, it's a great thing to be a re-
cruiting officer!
This is not the battle of Armaged-
don. Facts recorded in Rev. 16, dis
prove it. The promise of Christ
that the gospel must first be preach
ed to all the world, disproves it. The
non-return of the Jews (Which is a
precedent condition) disproves it.
What is the cause of this awful
catastrophe? This greatest war in
all history wherein more human lives
are being wasted, more home desc
lated, more poverty created, more
orphans and widows made than in
all previous wars combined? May
God pity the miserable man or men
on whose soul rests the black plague
Of this CHASTITY war!
Listen, was this war caused by
nations ignoring God? Is this a
reaping time? Are these battlefelds
harvest fields? -.
q. In answering this question, pro-
claim myself neutral. This pulpit
must ever be neutral in such mat
{ ters, much more 30 than the man
who shouted, 'I'm a neutral. I
don't care which whips Germany:
England, France or Russia"
Belgium.
Let US begin with this bleeding,
struggling people. The whole world
take off hats to Belgium. The world
watched them as they fought at
Liege, at Namur, at Antwerp, and
since in Flanders. Brave, heroic
people! Chivalrous souls! Deathless
courage! Yet, back Of this reaping
Of blood, was there sowing of evil?
