THE COMING ARMAGEDDON.

In GU days of trouble we naturally
look upward and sigh for help from
powers far above US. This is hu-
man instinct which has been manifest
ever since man was placed upon the
earth, and during the terrible o'ceal
through which the world is now pass
ing we have the Call of the Ange-

read holy writ are studying the book
as they never did before. Regular
readers as we'll as those who have
but recently started to explore the
Book of Books lind pearls for thought,
as we'll as many glowing passages
which give them encouragement while
awaiting the outcome Of 7 conflict
which is distressing the civilized
world. The cloud is still dark 2cd no
one can say when the silver lining will
appear.
The carnage is appalling, and ::any
believe that the long-fortold "ArmaG-
eddon" will seen cause all to stand ii
awe.
The book of Ezekiel is not studied
with the care which its Importance de-
serves. This prophet of the captivity
tells US of Armageddon, and in these
DAYS of fearful sualghter it would
be well to remember that this great
battle is still in the future, though
it may be near. We are told that it
will require seven years to burn all tic
implements Of war which will be eft
upon the fled at that time, and seven
months will be consumed in burying
the dead. Ezekiel xxxiy., 9-13.

that God is with him. But the prophet
writes: "Thus saith the Lord God,
Behold l am against thee. O Cog
The warning forces on the western
battle front are now in what may be
described as a death garpple.
The objective of each army is Inc
other army leach one Of them wants
to kill as many of the others as pos
sible.
70 save his d:mming reputation,
the German crown prince has called
to his aid the greatest force ever
gathered in Il restricted fighting area
since the war opened.
To prevent the loss Of huge stores
and guns, he has ordered that loss
of life shall not be considered as
factor in determining the lines to be
held.
WITH armies of this size at battle
grips, experts are intlinng to the
belief that the battle may become
great struggle Of determination
that each army forgetting all strtcgy
and all detectives. will be hurleI upcr
the other with the single purpose Of
killing as many men as their strength
an" negines o. destruction permit.
