has chosen America to be the
Tabernacle Nation" a Republic
Of one people, one tongue, one
brotherhood, and her dominiOns
shall be Love, Justice, Liberty.
America is the central vision of
this war. No glorified language
of crystalline perfection can por-
tray the splendor of her part yet
to come. Above all thrones,
crowns, empires, dominions anE
principalities, is the honor, ma
iesty. praise and glory that shall
come to every man. woman and
child that shall give themselves to
this final cause of the worlds
redemption. This glory shall
likewise come to the heroic hosts
of England, of France, of Italy,
of Belgium, Of Servia, of Monte
negro and to all who toll, suffer,
FIGHT and die that the Will OF
God in human Justice, Liberty
and Peace shall not perish from
the earth. Americas offering
will not be gold alone, but she
will pour forth her sacrlticlal
blood upon the redemptive affairs
of the world.
The Passing of Empires, Thrones
and Crowns.
More momentous, far-raaching
and profound than the appalling
roar of the enginery of this war
is the wispering finality in the
world experimenting the passing
of empires, thrones and crowns.
Monarchy and man will never
blend. | have already said seven
nations will fail to re-establish
their thrones. but not only these,
for all the nations will renounce
Monarchism, and "the Tabernacle
of God with men" shall become
the Divine Democracy of Liberty
loving Republics Of men. Before
peace is established Sweden, Nor
way. Holland, Switzerland, Italy,
England will have popular forms
of government. There will be
revolutions in Spain, Sweden, with
serious government disturbances
in Norway, Holland, Switzerland,
Japan and China, in the year. Out
of the war will come the freedom
of Ireland. Mexico will, as l fore
told two years ago, continue in
revolution until America estab-
fishes a provisional government.
Great events of the War Yet
Come.
1 repeat for the third time that
the German Emperor will not live
to see the end of this war. In
this year fatalities fall upon three
of his household. The Royal
families of Spain, Sweden. Aus
tria, Japan and Italy suffer. A
great sensation will come from
the throne of England. ; Russia
will be drenched with the blood
Of revolution. An almost un-
known man will rise in Germany
and become a powerful leader OF
the people. The central figures
in Mexico will be Villa, and Diaz,
the latter will rise to great power.
Japan will invade Russia. Je-
rusalem will remain in the hands
of Christians until the unification
of the world at Armageddon, this
recent fulfillment is one Of the
most remarkable of the sacred
prophecies. Compacts of separate
peace will be over-thrown in a
day. The first cycle Of the year
is turbulent, depressing and
dangerous to the Pope and Vati-
can. One of the most marvellous
events Of the war will be the bat
tie of aeroplanes in the early part
of the year. There will be two
naval battles, England, America
and Italy suffer, but defeat the
enemy. Germany has great los
SEES at sea. Spain will have an
rpheaval over events of the war
that cost her heavy losses and
dishonor. The index of "be-
trayal by leaders and death to
captains of hosts" denotes div!-
sions among the people of the al
lies. also in America and loss of
war leaders and those high in au-
thority. There is a sudden break
of like nature in Germany's war

Canada to the allied cause Of
