lDr. A. G. Daniels, of Washington, -.
jC, president of the Worlds conference
of Seventh Day Adventists, on the SUB
ject THE World War and Its Rela-
ltion to the Prophecies Of the Bible.
SPLENDID attention was given the
speaker by this vast audience turnout
the discourse.
! DR.. Daniels said in part. Il do not
believe this war is the Armageocon
OF the Apocalypse. This Is the pre-
Jude to Armageddon. This great con-
hict viii prepare the nations FOR en-
tering into the clash that will END hu-
man history. The term Armageddon
originates in the bible. We read in
Rev. 1e:l3-Ie And the sixth angel
poured out his vial upon the great
river Euphrates, and the water thereof
was dried up, that the way OF the kings
Of the east might be prepared AND
| I saw three unclean spirits like frogs
come out Of the mouth of the dragon,
and out of the mouth OF the beast
and out of the mouth of the false pro-
phet. For they are the spirits Of devils,
working miracles, which go forth unto
the kings of the earth and of the whole
world. to gather them TO the battle
of that great day Of God Almighty And
he gathered them together into place
| called in the Hebrew tongue Armaged-
dom Waters, when used in prophecy,
as we learn from Rev. 1915 represent
| peoples, and multitudes and nations
and tongues.
| "A river flowing thru a country, when
named in prophecy represents the
country thru which it flows. The river
Euphrates here represents the Tur-
kish empire and its drying UP the de-
cay Of that nation. Turkey once owned
all of the northern part Of Africa, the
Black sea, with the land directly north,
and the Baltic peninsula to the walls
of Vienna This was in the days OF
Its glory She has only CONSTANT
inople and little strip Of country called
the back yard of the capitol now in
Europe, and she has also lost part OF
4 the Arabian peninsula This great
struggle will decide whether or not
she will remain in Constantinople. The
powers have agreed that Turkey must
Hose this point The end of the Turkish
Ination is men toned IN Dan. 11:45 and
1871. And he shall plant the taber-
nacles of his palace between the seas
n the glorious holy mountain: yet he
shall come to his end, and none snail
help him And at that time shall
Michael tChrist) stand up the great
prince which standeth for the children
of thy people
The holy mountain is Jerusalem.
He is to establish his capitol here.
This Is the most likely place for him
to go. Michael represents Christ and
his standing up the end Of human pro-
baton. This brings us to the end OF
the world. There are only two features
OF the prophecy 10 be fulfilled before
the end comes: namely, planting his
capitol al Jerusalem and coming to his
end.
The eastern question concerns the
struggle which decides which nation
will control Constantinople. 1t is not
a new proposition, nor a new contro-
versy or question. 1t is an old struggle

Assassination Not Cause Of War.
The assassination Of the crown
prince OF Austria was not the cause of
this war. II was the match that light

statement from the book The World
in Conflict" by L. T. Hobhouse. 1T is
not in reality one event that has
changed the world 1t is world change
that has eliminated in a great event :
DR.. Daniels continued: These nations
are at war to gain control OF great
highway to the markets Of the world
To support this statement, DR.. Daniels
