believe that Napoleon and other
characters Of the past are refer
red to in prophecy. But they just
boot at the suggestion that the
German Kaiser IS mentioned by
the inspired Bible writer's. And

such a caper. IN the world as the
Kaiser has kicked up. # the pro-
phets could look down through
the ages far enough to see the
French war-lord. one. hundred
years ago, why couldn't they look
just a little further and see the
still more terrible German war
lord of the present. day? Their
prophetic vision must-have come
to a mighty abrupt end if they
wrote about Napoleon and then
didn't mention Kaiser Bill any
where. -.~s.

want you to read the following
verses from the first, and second
chapters Of Habakkuk and see

the land, to possess the dwelling places
that are o theirs. They are terrible
and dreadful: their judgment and
their dignity shall proceed of them

from far; they shall FLY as
the eagle that hasteth t o eat.
They shall come all for violence:
their faces shall sup up as the east
wind, and they shall gather the capt.

change and he shall pass over, and
offend, imputing this his power unto
his god. ss~s ~*5~ +}
