The study of history does not
help us much interpreting the
signs of the times, for in this in
stance it cannot be said that his
tory repeats itself" There never
yet has cen an lend of the world. E"
There are three sources from
which we may get light upon this
most important subject; first,
from the BIBLE; second, from
the CHURCH, and third, from
OUR OWN REASON.
Naturally, the Bible has a great
deal to say about the lend of the
world" and fortunately, it is pos
sible for the average man to I'M
derstand what the Bible means.
The secrets of God are not
always revealed to the "wise
men and the prudent"-GOd
has sometimes revealed
them upto babes.'
Upon one occasion, Jesus pub
licly thanked God for the fact. -.
1t is probably true, as some
noted Bible students have said,
that confusion has arisen In the
minds of many because men have
failed to distinguish between the
end of the world" and 1.-The END
OF THE AGE"
The history of the world may
be divided into certain great per-
iods, or ages. Each of these ages
has ended in a great catastrophe
like the flood, for example.
It is we'll to remember that
most of the prophecies about "the
end of the world" are based upon
the second coming of Jesus, and
the prophecies concerning his Sec
ond coming are just as literal as
those that had to do with his first
coming.
There are something like three
hundred different references in
tn New Testament, alone, to the
second coming of Christ.
All Bible students agree that
Jesus is coming again but there
is a great difference of opinion
among them as to when he is COM
ing.
Some insist that the world will
become worse and worse, and that
Jesus will appear to usher in the
thousand years of the millennium,
during which peace and righteous
ness shall prevail.
Others believe that the church
will become responsible for set
ting up the millennium, and at the
close of this thousand-year per-
iod, Jesus will come to call the
world to judgment.
Far the largest number of Bible
students have the latter opinion,
many evangelists and
Bible students believe Jesus may
come TODAY.
II the thousand-year period of
the millennium is to be taken lit
orally, then the opinion OF the
post millennialists' who
believe that Jesus will come
AFTER the acknowledgements
us to say thta Jesus cannot come
for at least one thousand years.
For no one would agree, in view
Df the terrible war now prevail
ng, that we have entered the mil
Innial period.
On the other hand, II the pre-
nillennialists" who believe
Jesus will come BEFORE the mil
to be believed, It
looks veryrmuch as IL Jesus might
come AT ANY MOMENT to estab-
Iish his Kingdom upon earth.
For they believe that Just the
kind OF things now happening will
precede his coming to earth.

Wear Out Autos in
Tire Testing Service

The recent purchase of thirty-six
new motorcars, which now comprise
the six divisions of the tire-t testing
fleet of The B. L. Goodrich Rubber
Company, recalls the fact that dur
ing 1915 and 1916 at least forty-two
other cars have been worn out in this
service.
The first cost of these cars is COM
paratiVely small for the upkeep as
they bound over the toughest roads
of the United states day in and day
out far, exceeds the original pur-
chase price. In this cost, of course,
must be figured the same items that
the motorist pays, for, even though
these cars are testing tires, this par
that of the average motorcar used
in continuous service. In fact the
tire cost to the Goodrich Company is
much above that of the motorist for
many of the tires are never worn
out. Instead, after having been used
for specified number of miles un-
der certain conditions, a great many
of these test tires are then sent back
to the factory where they undergo
operations in the laboratories which
reveal merits and shortcoming alike
The Goodrich Company years ago
learned that there was no other sat
isfactory methods of determining the
quality of a tire than to put ii to
a severe road or service test. Dozens
OF rubber formulas and many more
weaves and qualities of fabric origi-
nate in the laboratories but ii re-
mains for the test cars in all parts
of the United States to determine
the worth of each.

The Liberty Loan

a $50 Liberty Bond; if not outright,
then on the instalment plan,
through the numerous channels that
are offered. They know too, that it
is an absolutely safe security, back
ed by all the wealth and power of
the United States, which stands now,
by far the strongest nation, finan-
eially in the world. and which is
likely to remain so indefinitely.
one of the best qualities of this
loan is the encouragement it gives
to thrift and saving. People who
would not save in ordinary times,
but who, from a patriotic motive,
buy Liberty Bonds, soon find they
have something put by for day of
need, something the interest on
which comes in as regularly as the
bills for rent and food. There is q
feeling of security, and with it is
born a desire to save again, and
buy more bonds.
Thus this great loan which is pri-
marily intended to help the nation
ir a crisis will also help the hundred
million individuals who make up the
nation. Buyers, in strengthening the
country. strengthen themselves also.
They learn to be temperate, careful
and economical, and they acquire
habits of thrift which provide for
the rainy days that are sure to

The entire automobile industry was
disturbed and their output seriously
threatened. The automobile manu-
facturers who were receiving their
rims from the Standard Welding
Company made arrangements with
the Perlman Rim Corporation to re-
lease sufficient rims for them so they
could make deliveries. for which they
paid thousands and thousands of dol
lars. The first check from one COM
pany was for S4O,000.00. Most of the
turned their rim plants over to the
Perlman Rim Corporation.
Being firmly convinced that this
patent and the evidence that won this
and serious menace to the entire
motoring public. Mr.. Firestone re-
fused to recognize the Perlman claims
in an way. He realized that the
Court of Appeals decision given Perl
man formerly meant in the ordinary
course of things, an injunction
against his company and the closing
down of his rim plant, but having
the courage OF his convictions he
wanted his chance at Perlman in the
courts.
The injunction was first argued for
in New York before Judge Mayer on
April 13, last. By that time the Fire
stone attorneys had gathered new
evidence showing that the decision in
the former suit nau Deen obtained
through false testimony and asked
that they be given an opportunity to
present these facts in trial in open
court. On this showing, an injunc-
tion was denied Perlman and the
case set for June.
At the trial last week, Perlman
was put on the stand and testified
to completion of his invention in
1908, introducing exhibits and docu-
ments alleged to substantiate his
claims. During the cross examination
of Perlman, he was led into contra
dictions and evasions and after sew
eral hours questioning very inter-
esting facts were brought out as to
Perlman's business activities which
finally eliminated in the disclosure
OF the arrest of Perlman in England
for fraud and deceit, Jail term and
flight from England while on bail
Perlman would not admit or deny
the facts presented to him, but took
refuge in repeated lapse of memory
on these points.
At the end of the cross examine
alton, the attorneys for the Perlma n
Rim Corporation moved to dismiss,
thereby shutting off further dis
closures b the Firestone Company
which they stated would have been
startling. Judge Hand allowed the
case to be dismissed although he
stated that 1t was against his wishes.

The Binding of the Beast
BY GEORGE STIRLING of the Vigilantes

He plotted in the den of his lordshop
over men;
He wrought his grim array and he
hungered for the Day.
Then the loosing- word was spoken
and the seal of He'll was broken;
Then it's Princes were assembled for
the feast;
But against the Vandal night rose
the star of Freedoms light,
And world was called together for
the binding of the Beast.
They have seen it for their star; they
have come from near and far;
From the forges of the North go the
men and young men forth,
Having found the holier duty, found
the true, the final beauty,
AS their brothers of the South and
of the East.
In the forests of the West they are
giving of their best,
With strong hands and patient for
the binding of the Beast.
For his treason unto man in the war
that he began,
For the rapine and the flame, for the
kissing of his name,
Have the hosts gone up against him
and with swords of judgment
fenced him,
With his coward clutch on women
and on priest.
For the children he has MANNED,
for the maidens he has shamed,
The nations grid their harness for
the binding of the Beast.

No other financial measure ever
taken by the United States has the
peculiar and attractive qualities of
the Liberty Loan. 1t makes triple
appeal-to patriotism, to sound ma
tional finance. and to personal thrift.
At one of the most critical mo-
ments in all history the American re-
public has intervened on behalf of
human right and freedom, and to
save the down-trodden little states
which have just as much right to
live as the big ones. To do this we
must mobilize our money, our mu-
nitions and our army and navy. We
must first mobilize our money to
stabilize our allies, and to grease
the wheels of our own big guns
when they move to the front.
The loan is unique because 1T is
intended neither for the rich alone,
nor for the poor, alone. nor alone
for those between, but for all the
people. 1t is war of the whole ma
ton, and the poor as we'll as the rich
can help to build up the mighty bull
wark of finance which supports a
country in battle, and without
which armies and navies are i'm
potent.
Almost any one, even those earn
ing very small wages, can, by a lit
tie self denial, save enough to buy

Caked with blood he stands at bay
with his feet upon his prey,
Hinged with surf of guns resounding
raw and fetid from the hound

Smites he still in baff1ed fury and
the roar of hate released;
But the huntsmen of the ranks, with
their steel at breast and fianks
Give no truce nor sign of respite al

He is cunning, he is strong, and the
war shall yet be long,
Where the seven thunders wake and
the walls of heaven shake.
He is cruel, blind and ruthless; he
is boastful, sly and ruthless;
BY his will the Powers of Darkness
are increased;
But the shackle and the chain. shall
avenge the hurt and slain,
Who have broken bread with heroes
at the binding of the Beast.
For his pact with death and hell let
us bind the monster well,
That the world go free indeed from
his arrogance and greed!
BY the pact he dared to sever, make
we treaty with him never,
Till the murder venom in his blood
has ceast!
BY his trust in force and war, end
we those for evermore,
As the nations sit in council for the
binding of the Beast!
