when WILL IT end.

Nobody knows when the war will end.
Nobody knows on what terms it will
end. but the people of the United Stat
es feel that they know that the war
will be won by the allies no matter if
SIX months or six years are required to
win it.
In England most people have grown
tired of attempting to predict the date
of the ending of the war. Most people
in England laughed at Lord Kitchener 5
prediction of war of three years.
When Italy came into the war it was
generally assumed that 1.-THE end was
near. Rumania's entrance last sum-
mer was expected to be decisive. Now
the United States has come in and the
war still goes on.
The following piece of newspaper
verse, which we are told is on every
body's lips in London, comes as close
u the situation as any military or civil
prophet could do;
Absolute confidence have | none,

The KAISER The
BEAST OF REVELATION

Here is something exceedingly inter-
esting. if not true, which we'clip from
the Montreal Star. We gladly pass it
on for the consideration of others.
The Star says: "A local biblical stud
ent has discovered proof that the
Beast of Revelation" is actually the
kaisers, and that the war he has pro-
voked will last for three and three and
a half years.
The proof is based on the 18th chapter
of Revelation, verses i-5, which read
thus: And they worshlped the beast say
ing, who Is like unto the beast? Who
is able to make war with him? And
there was given unto him mouth
speaking great things and blasphemies.
and power was given unto him to con
tinue unto forty and two months.
There we have fairly recognizable
portrait of the Kaiser, and the statement
of the wars duration. But the clinch-
ing evidence is in verse Is. Here ia
wisdom" Let him that hath under.
standing count the number of the beast.
For it is the number Of man; and his
number is SIX hundred, three score and
six,
But how does the number GG6 fit the
Kaiser? That is very simple. Listen:
Give each letter in X A S Z K its al
phebet teal number. A is the first. is
the second, c is third. and so on.
Place beside each Alphabetical number
the number 6, which is the total number
of letters in the word Kaiser. Add up
the results.
Here it is worked GU, for you.
