If the reports that come to us from
. the other side of the water, are in any
degree correct the Allied armies in
France, have been knocking the stufine
out of the Huns for the last several
weeks. We have never doubted what
the result of this present War would be,
but from indications that are not to be
overlooked, the end may exceed our
most sanguine expectations, however,
brilliant these expectations may have
been. And the Hun power appears to
be waning. How do the leaders of this
gigantic cataclysm feel over their wicked
ness? How does any one suppose the
/ Kaiser feels In a despatch from Geneva
Swiss writer pictures how the Kaiser
| looked on the occasion of his meeting
with King Ferdinand at their Nauheim
| Conference The German ruler has
! greatly aged. His hair is snow white
and his shoulders stopped his eyes are
feverish. his gesture abruft, and his face
severely lined and tanned, gives the gen
eral impression of a man suffering a
great sorrow. And be well deserves
his fate. The Kaiser is 50 superlatively
wicked that we imagine when he does
commit suicide, and goes to his destined
place Satan from his burning throne
will smooth back his smoke stained brow
and welcome to his native He'll a sinner
greater than himself" And so may it |
be. Now the above may SAVIOR of venom |
or vindictiveness and, we as christians |
are taught to love our enemies, But /
how can we love this son-of-a- foreigner !
of a House whose ancestors have been |
the scourge of the earth2 If Attila was
the "Scourge of God, ." what must the
--siser the last Ruler of the House at
Hohenzollern bea Probably that means
to an end. Probably God has been and
is now leading this maniac, on that
through him, He may destroy autocracy
and wickedness, and at the same time
chastise his own people for their short
comings and wastefUl extravaganza.
