Bible Students began to proclaim that 1914 was
the year specifically marked when the time of
trouble such as never since there was a

commence. Until the catastrophe of August
1914 broke upon the world they were ridiculed.
In the brief span of seven years the human
race has been torn by war, famine, disease, and
social upheavals the like of which have never
been known. And the end is not yet; for the
conhagration which commenced with the World
War is raging with increasing severity and
reaching out to every corner of the earth. The
prophetic words of Jesus, uttered nearly two
thousand years ago, are being fulfilled with
terrible accuracy. Will His words concerning
events to happen within the next few years
come true? You should know the. truth.
In this thrilling reassuring the speaker
