WHO WILL WIN THE WAR?
Willmar, Minnesota.


July, 1918.
Many people think at the present
time about two great and very i'm.
portant questions in regard to the
World War now on. How long is the
war going to last and who is going tC
win?
The Central powers say that they
will surely win this war. The Allies
say the same. The victory belongs
yet to the time to come
So far as we are able to see the
Allies have the greatest prospect to
win from both moral and biblical
view points.
Germany's aims were, when she
started this bloody and terrible war,
to become ruler over the whole world
The whole world should bow her head
and humble herself under Germany's
! despotic autOcratic iron power. Plans
therefore had been laid for many
years. Great and powerful prepare.
| lions had been done in order to real
| iZe that aim.
ing ruler of the world, we do not be-
lieve she can carry out this plan.
| The prophecy of the Bible teaches
US that only four kingdoms should
| exist en- earth. Daniel says this in
his interpretations of King Nebuch-
| adnezzar's dream of the great image.
See Dan. 2:44, "And in the days of
this king shall the God Of heaven set
up a kingdom which shall never be
destroyed, and the kingdom shall not
be left to other people but it shall
break in pieces and consume all this
kingdom and it shall stand forever
In the seventh chapter the four beasts
the lion, the bear, the leopard and the
forty dreadful and terrible beasts
white ircn teeth, and the ten horns
symbolic the same thing; the foul
kingdoms Babylon, Media-Persia
Greece and Rome. All these Kingdoms
belongs to the past and their worlt
power is played out long ago. In thu
18th and 18th verses, we read "Thest
great beasts are four, are four kings
which shall arise out of the earth bu
the Saints of the NEST High shall
take the kingdom and possess tn
kingdom forever, even forever AM
ever"
Nothing is said about the fifth king
dom as a world power in any Othe
form, than that which the Lord o
heaven shall set up and which sha]
} be taken in possession CT his peOpl
with Christ as ruler.
With these, Gods words before Us
we can be justly sure that the beas
of Berlin never will dominate tn
world.
Germanys moral record is as blac
as it ever can be. Germany ha
deeds in her register of sin so low, S
dirty, so horrible and diabOlicall
black that it is impossible to find an!
thing like it among barbarians of tn
earth; not even amongst the demon
= of hell. Germany is the only natlo
l. in the world who raids hospitals an
l. hospital ships, kills sick and wounde
}: people with those who take care {
u them. To cut arms and legs from sma
y children and leave them to die is
cruelty so terrible and dreadful thu
it takes German soldier to do it.
Those things referred to will stan
as an example Of what Germany
. morals are today.
In spite of all the blame thrown u
on us and our country, we are tigh
II ing for nobleness and justice, and tn
l. Lord who can break the enemy
- bones. He, whose Almighty words tn
angry waves of the sea can lay dow
and quiet, has power to give victor
to the arms of the Allies and he wi
surely do it, too.
In the olden days when Israel col
: mitted sin, the Lord Jehova gave h
~ people in their enemy's hands, b.
=! | when Israel turned back to the Lor
-, confessed their sin and prayed II
~ mercy, they were helped and give
- power over their enemies.
- Even we have committed sin again
= God and need correction and pun1s
10 ment. If we sincerely turn
70 God in prayer and confession of OF
70 sins, He will in His great mercy, ser
: US help in our difficulties.
Our president and all who have an
thing to do with the leading of tn
great nation, need to be remembers
in prayer by Gods people. Tho'
- men have great burdens on the
= shoulders, which heaviness we do n
~ understand. AS patriotic citizens, v
10 can help to carry those burdens
70 obedience of the law of our land,
- moral as we'll as in financial way.
~ If we do what we can, our praye
shall rise before the Throne of G.
and He will not allow our enemy
overpower us but will answer us al
help us like He did His people
