In ardently urGin" upon this nation the
Importance of aerial defenses, the same

land is arranging for as perfect a national
defense by air as by the ocean, Her first
peace appropriation for the air ministry is
1925 .OOO.0OO. Washington proposes an APP
preparation for airplane work Of $25OOO,OOO
for the army and 1926 100000 for the navy,
a total of $5O,OOO0OO. Even France APP
propriates more for aviation than the
United States.''
There is little lull just now so far as
a great world war is concerned; but every
body recognizes the tense situation. and
sees anarchy, revolution, and war confront
ing u.s.
Albert Thomas, formerly Frances min
lister Of ornaments, in commenting on the
world situation, says: "The strike situa-
ton in America proves clearly that the
entire world is threatened with half
century of revolution. Wage de-
mands are only incidental to the upheaval
which is at the bottom of the unrest''
Leading business men and prominent
statesmen, in view Of the situation con-
fronting us. are anxious that the latest de-
vices shall be brought into USE so that the
nation may be able to protect itself against
any possible aggression. The monster bat
tleships and cruisers and submarines, to-
gether with all the high-powered guns and
other equipment to be used on land and
sea, are the creations Of the present gen.
Grafton, and are so awful in their destruct
venoss as to strike terror to the stoutest
soul.
To the statesmen of all the nations, and
to the men of the world in general, these
conditions may be perplexities that are
without parallel: but to the one who
knows and believes the prophecies Of the
Bible, all is clear and plain. The condi.
tions of this time are just what he l1nowsc
should be expected. The commercial greed,
and the love of self, together with wicked
ness in general, God has fortold would pro-
duce in the last days just such scenes as
we now see filling the world.
Ana Wncn viewing lHc cuuSHlcHC 10y
scenes, the revelator was hidden to write
that ''the nations were wroth, and Thy
wrath came, and the time Of the dead to
hr JUDGED and the time to give their re-
ward to Thy servants the prophets and to
the sairte and to them that fear Thy name,
the small and the great; and to destroy
them that destroy the earth.' Revelation
II is.
And Revelation 16 1915 gives descrp-
ton of the demons that will 60 into all
the world to gather the nations to the
great battle of Armageddon. The condl'
tons of this time show that the great
event cannot be long delayed; and if we
would stand secure in that time, we must
see to it that we are gaining true Christian
fortitude now. It must not be a supo'
fetal experience. but one that brings to
us the truth that God is our personal
Saviour and protector.
Moses was able to live his life of powe"
hecause he became intimate with God.
