Boomer, North Carolina, July, 1921.

All right guess they see now,
who it was that didn't know
anything.
Never mind when the last
birth-pang is ended and the New
Agees really born, you will not
need patriotic" orators to tell
you about it. You will just know
it without telling. There will be
some signs too plain to be mis-
understood. One Of them will
be REAL DISARMAMENT and a
different class of men at the head
of all governments men who
have the Christ-spirit in them
instead of the devil.sI irit that
now prevails everywhere.

THE NEXT WAR;

It would be highly interesting
to go back and read what the
papers said just following the
Armistice, and then compare it
with what they are saying now.
At that time it was glorious
and everlasting peace the last
great war was ended, and there
never would be another war in
the world, From then on it would
be endless ages Of perfect peace
and harmony among the nations.
Oh, what a beautiful picture they
did draw!
But now pick up your news
paper today and see how glibly
it rattles on about the next
war; just as if it was all settled
that we are to have another one
right away.
And it is.
The big blood-thirsty bosses
have got all of the general plans
laid and are now arranging the
details as fast as possible.
Yes, honey, the present indi-
cations all point to another great
world war. 1t will probably start
in less than a year from now,
and it promises to be a much
more savage and brutal affair
than the recent one.
The fool-killer., 1921-07-01

You remember how we held up
our hands in holy horror when
Germany began using poison gas.
We thought that was utterly in
human and we all agreed that it
placed Germany plum outsid the
bounds Of civilization. She was
the outlaw of nations.
But now look!
To-day we see every nation
(including our own just tearing
its shirt to invent a still more
deadly poison gas than the Ger
mans ever dreamed of. We want
it to use in the next war;" you
know. And we are now pleasant
ly informed that our own Amer
lean chemists have compounded
a new poison gas so deadly that
a whole city can be depopulated
in few minutes. We are proud
of this great achievement, and
we are guarding the secret so
that some other nation cannot
get hold of it and use it against
us. Probably we can have the
honor of being the Huns" in
the next war;
Isn't that a nice picture to con-
template? I'll say it is. But we
are driving straight into it just
as fast as time can move.

BIRTH-PANGS.

Let me call your attention once
more to the fact that we are now
witnessing the birth Of a New
Age. And let me remind you
again that a BIRTH is nearly
always accompanied by suffering g
and blood. You don't have to
be told that this is true in the
case of human and animal births,
but perhaps you never stopped
to consider that the same rule
operates on a larger scale in the
birth of nations and dispensa-
tions. But it is true just the same.
You know the Bible says that
when the great time of trouble
comes upon the world it will be
like the pains upon a woman in
birth.
Well, how is that?
Just one spasm and all done?
Not is a series Of pains Or
spasns, with short periods of
comparative ease in between.
The later pains are apt to be
more severe than the first ones,
and also closer together. Z
The Great War was only the
first birth~pain of the Golden
Age. There must be others. Just
how many I don't know. And
just how much more blood will
have to flow nobody can tell. But
the remaining pains will be quick
and sharp, and the time cannot
be very long. The next spasm is
now coming in sight.
On the day that the first spasm
ended / heard some big patriot
ic'' orators get up and make big
fiowery speeches. One of them
said it was the greatest day since
the birth of Christ. He said the
worlds troubles were all ended
and we were going to have a
man-made heaven from that day
onward.
But I said, Hold on! you are
a little too fast! The trouble is
NOT over yet"
But they laughed at me and
said, ''Oh. Pearson, you are an
old pessimist- you don't know
anything!"

A SERMON ON "INsURANCE"


They tell US that great arma-
ment-great preparedness for war
is an insurance against war.
And so they are piling it on.
Out of every dollar of govern
ment funds collected, 90 cents
must go to pay for war, past,
present or future.
These are the official figures.
, Insurance!
Great bowling tom cats!
Germany had that same sort OF
insurance" against war, and now
didn't it prevent war in her case?
Now DIDN'T it?
If you want to find out how big
armies are an insurance against
war, just go and ask. Germany.
She knows.
1t wouldn't be quite so bad to
pay 90 per cent of our government
funds for that sort of insurance
against war if it would insure
against war.
But it won't.
That's the thunder of it. F.,
We pay our money for insur-
ance to keep us out of war, and
then we wade right in anyhow.
Our insurance hastens the very
thing it is supposed to prevent.
Just imagine man running
business and paying SO per cent
of all he made for insurance ON
his business-and then not getting
any insurance after he paid for itl
Wouldn't that be a poor busi-
ness policy? You would say that
such man was plum fool, and
that would be the truth.
Well, Uncle Sam is right now
running his business in just that.
