Who Will Gain Possession OF The Earth

10 the Editor:
The great war which is now raging
in Europe naturally raises the ques-
ton of the future mastery of that
portion of the world. Should there he
a decisive outcome to the struggle, the
victorious power would be in a posi-
ton to dictate terms to Europe; and
IRON the mastery of Europe it would
be but step TO the position of world
supremacy.
There exists however an impossible
barrier in the pathway to this coveted
goal of power. The Word of the AL
mighty has declared that there viii
never again be upon this earth a sue
cessor to imperial Rome. No con-
queror will ever arise who will be
able to bring the world to his feet. No
nation will ever be able to bring all
the other nations into subsection.
This is plainly stated in the pro-
phecy of Daniel, chapter two, where,
IN explaining to the King of Babylon
his dream concerning the great image,
the prophet Daniel declared: "And
whereas thou sawest the feet and toes.
part of potter's clay and part of iron,
the kingdom shall be divided; And
whereas thou saWest iron mixed with
miry clay, they shall mingle them
selves with the seed Of men; but they
shall not cleaVe one to another, ever
as iron is not mixed with clay"
Since the decline and fall of the
iron monarchy of Rome, there have
been repeated efforts to weld together
into enc solid mass the broken frag-
n'"nts Of that empire. Clovis. Chan-
lenagne, Charles v. and Napoleon
Bonaparte, essayed to become rulers
of the world; but none of them could
cement the iron and clay of the pro
phetic image. They were striving
against the fiat of heaven. As one
writer has forcibly expressed it: "The
caltn reeled under the fierce charge
# these wor!d-empire grasping war
rior. but the Word Of the Lord stood
fast. and Europe remained divided"
Nor has the effort to bind the ma
tons together into one by marital al
llances been any more successful. The
royal families have intermarried very
extensively, but the ties thus formed
have accompl shed nothing toward
political union. King George of Eng
land is cousin to the German Kaiser
and the Gar of Russia is a relative
also. Yet this relationship does moth
ing to prevent war. In no instance
has there been cleaving together of
the Kingdoms through the marital
"mi,ngling' of which the prophec
spoke.
But there is to be another and final
universal kingdom, foreshadowed by
the "stone of this prophetic dream,
which "smote the image upon his fee5
that We're of iron and clay. and brake
them to pieces" Dan. 2:34. For of
this stone it was said by the prophet,
that it became great mountain, and
filled the whole earth; and in the ex-
plaration of this portion of the dream
the prophet said: "In the days OF
these kings shall the God of Heaven
set up a kingdom, which shall never
be destroyed; and. the kingdom shall
not be left to other people, but it

We are living today at time when
all the events pointed out by inspired
prophecy as marking the approach of
that kingdom are with but one or two
exceptions, in the past. Almost the
very last sign Of its coming was stated
by the Saviour in the words. "This
gospel of the kingdom shall be preach
