K Mil Battle of I Armageddon Br REV. JAMES M. CRAY. D. D. DtM el Moodr BibU leatmte fOlicM TKXT And tlipy niithercd them toiceth- ir In llie place which la culled In Hebrew. Hnr-Mnxedon. Revelation 16:16. Many people are asking whether the present European war Is the battle of Armageddon, and whether It means that we are nearlng the end of the world, and what relation it bears to the second coming of ChrlBt. In answer to the first part of the question It may be raid that It Is not the bat tle of Armageddon for three reasons. First, It Is not In the right location, second, It has not the right objoctive, and third, it doos not represent tho right alignment of the nations. The battle of Armageddon will not he fought in Europe, but In Asia. Har-.Magedon," as the revised ver sion translates It, Is a mountain ris ing up out of the pluin of Esdraelon in northern Palestine. Great and de cisive battles have been fought there by the Hebrews, the Egyptians, the Saracens, and the crusaders, and here the kings of the prophetic earth are to be gathered, under the Influ ence of demons working miracles, for that battlo of the great day of the Lord God Almighty. The object of this battle will be the rupture of Jerusalem, when It shall again be restored to the Jews prior to the second advent of the Messiah on their behalf; and the nations of the prophetic earth engaged in it will be those of the Roman empire fed erated again under a secular despot whom many associate with the anti christ Those nations do not include Hussla, nor do they Include Germany or Austria-Hungary, except In part, so that a new alignment of the nations seems necessary before that battle. How far the present European war may contribute to that new align ment one cannot say, but so far as It does so, It may be called a prepara tion for the battle of Armageddon. The End of the World. 2. That this war cannot mean that we are near the end of the world Is indicated in another way. For ex ample, all Dlble scholars are agreed that a long period of peace and right eousness Is to prevail over the earth before the end comes. From a pass age In Revelation 20, It is gathered that It will last a thousand years, from which It takes the name mil lonnium. This period not having be gun as yet. It Is clear the end of the world Is at least 1,000 ycurs away Hut we may be near the end of the age, which is a different matter. There have been several ages in the history of the race in which God has dealt with his people In different ways; each of these ages ended In a catastrophe. That of Eden ended in the expulsion from the garden. That following It ended in the flood, Tl Mosaic age ended in the crucifix ion of our Lord and the dispersion of the Jews among the Gentile nations. where they are today; and it seems to be the teaching of the Scriptures that the snmo will be true of the age in which we live. The catastrophe Impending is not one which affects the true church which Is the body of Christ, but the professing church, and the nations whJah, having a form of godliness are denying the power there of. The church will escape the ca tastrophe by being caught up to moet the Lord in the air, as it is written in I Thessalontans 4, but that which ho falls the false church and the nations Is the battle of Armageddon and what is connected with it, of which this Eu roooan war Is so frightful a fore runner.' Second Coming of Christ, 3. The second coming of Christ means, of course, his perional in the sense of visible reappear.ng. and as stated before, so far as the church is concerned the event may be very far, It Is after the church 1- caught up to meet htm in the air that the events transpire pn earth which focus in the battle of Armageddon. His coming to the earth means the destruction of the nations thus headed up In the anti christ, not in the sense that all their Inhabitants are Blaln, but that as na tions they cease to exist. The certainty and the Imminence of our Lord's return Is a mighty motive for repentance and faith In his name, and In the case of those of us who ere saved through faith 't .speaks with equal potency of the necessity for a holy life. To quote the language of another, suppose this titanic conflict among the nations were the very last event to occur prior to the Lord's coming for his people to take them out ol such a scene, does It not give intense significance to the words of Paul In the thirteenth chapter of his epLitle to the Romans where he says: "And that, knowing tho time, that now it is li;h time to awake out of sleep: for now Is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night Is fai spent, the day Is at hand: let us there fore cast off tho works of darkness and let us put on the armor of light Lot us walk honestly, as In- the day not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not strife and envying. But put ye or the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill tin lusta thereof?" By rooting out our selfish desires even when thjy appear to touch nc one but ourselves, we are preparing s chamber of the soul where the Dl vine Preseuce may dwell.--Ellen Wat son. MtTMnONAL SiwrsaiooL Lesson illy O. K. M-.i.l.KliH, AclliiK Plrrrtnr of the HiimlHy Hchoul Cuurav of the Mwdy lllhli' Inxtltutc) LESSON FOR AUGUST 29 GOD'S CARE OF ELIJAH. LESSON TKXT-I King 17:1-16. Got. HEN TEXT-CBtlnif nil your ani lely Uiin him, became ba cmi-Ui (or Jon. 1 i'eui 6:7 11. V. We now skip thirty to forty years to consider the first of those great prophets whose lives are recorded at length. Samuel and David fought ani mals, armies and giants, but these men fought engagements In the moral arid spiritual realm of equal and greater Importance. Emphasize Elijah as a real live flexh-andhlood hero. His work was with the northern kingdom and he probably first met Ahub at Sa maria, his capital In t12 U. C. (?) The Moubite stone (A. 1). 18C6 is a re- murkuhle confirmation of the Ilible Btory of this period. I. The Challenge, v. 1. The lesson is a great illustration of faith. Sin bad again made vast Inroads upon the people (ch. 16:30-33) and this "man of tho hour," whose name means "Jeho vah My Strength," (1) saw the condi tions; (2) responded to the need, and (3) had fulth In his cause because It nas that of Jehovah. The source of his faith was the word of the Lord God (Deut. 11 : 18; 32:20). He that "llveth" and before whom the prophet stood In daily, hourly communication. Elijah was a man with a mission (Matt. 28:19) who trusted In God and considered It safe to obey. Ills power, "according to my word," was In ratio according to his life of faith (Rom. 10:17). He was also a man of prayer James D:l") and showed his faith by his works (James 2:1", 20, 26). II. The Command, vv. 2-7. Elijah's faith was not audacious. He took each step as commanded by God (v. 2). There is a time fur seeming retreat as well as for the spectacular charge. Elijah's first place of testing was "Chcrlth," a gorge to the east of the river Jordan. This command was con trary to human reason. "Would It not soon be Involved in bis prophesied drought?" Again, ravens frequently feed upon carrion, and be knew all the regula tions regarding cleanness. Thus to be secluded would prevent bis observing the e fleet of the drought upon both king and people. Still the command is explicit. It was "there" (v. 4), and there only, that Jehovah was to save. The qilracle of saving was to be wrought under the most adverse cir cumstances and by the most unlikely means. "So he went." Having faced the peril, God hid him to preserve him, and at the proper time God also re vealed him (ch. 18:13). It was a dally testing for Elijah at Cherlth, thus to be fed and to see the water evaporat ing, but it was a time of communion and after the brook was dry there came a new command (vv. 8, 9). We are often called to sit by and see dry lug brooks but if we are in God's way he will attend to that. We do not speculate on the use of the ravens, that the record is "poetical language," or the ''OrebiteB" (Arabians), but ac cept the writer's plain Intimation, ravens, a common bird but a most in telligent one, especially when used and directed of God. III. The Continued Deliverance, vv. 8-16. Zarephath was (Luke 4:26) in tho dominions of Jezebel's father, on the const of the Mediterranean sea be tween Tyre and Sidon, a dangerous Journey for .Elijah through Ahab'S kingdom (ch. 18:10). The word Zare phath means "smelting furnace," and It too was suffering from this same famine. Commanded to hide in Cherith Elijah is told to "dwell" in Zarephath and that a widow waa to be the agent to supply his need. Again Elijah's pride had to be overcome for there were abundant reasons for disliking such a journey, such an abiding place and such a dependence upon a poor widow. Elijah, Wwever, "arose and went," a continuance ot his life of obedience. He first asked for water and as she went he added his request for food. It was a particular widow to whom he was sent (Luke 4:25-27) and through her God was ready to work a miracle of salvation on his behalf. Though about to prepare what she thought was to be her own and her son's last meal (v. 12), yet she at once proceeds to obey the command of the man of God as it was conditioned upon the word of Jehovah (v. 14). God, through his prophets, has commanded us, given us assurance and promised to sustain (Phil. 4.1P), yet we hesi tate. "She went and did" the seem ing Impossible, but according to the word of command, and thone of "her house did eat many days." Obedience saved her own, her son's and the prophet's lives. Thqre is sound philoso phy in Trov. 11:24 which found its complete fulfillment in Jesus who "came not to be ministered unto but to minister." Read carefully Prov. 3:7-10 and II Cor. 9:6-11. As with the Israelites in the wilderness the Bitpply was only from day to day (v. 16)' noth ing ahead, no accumulation, yet a per petual supply because based on "the word of the Lord" (v. 16). God worked this miracle: (1) to up hold and to preserve his chosen mes senger for his great work In Israel; (2) to ahow his loving kindness and BUBtalnlng grace to the poor; (3) to strengthen the faith of his prophet againBt hU spectacular conflict on Mt. Carmel; (4) to the end that he might show Israel and all others down through the ages a great object lesson of his sustaining grace and providence. The returning food crops of the world each year are his unfailing cruse ot blessed provision. Ills word is as sure today as it was 2800 years ago, and Is the unfailing cruse from which we may obtain spiritual nurture each day. God's love and the holy spirit (typified by the' "oil" v. 16) arc his unfailing gifts for the spirits of men which he gives us for each day's need as he also gives us our "daily bread." ;Conducted by 'the National Woman's Christian Temperance Union.) FOR VALUE RECEIVED. The liquor Interests have unwitting ly given prohibition in WeBt Virginia much valuable publicity. Their frantic efforts to prove that a deficit in the state treasury is due to the loss of liquor revenue has called forth from loyal citizens of the "little mountain state" strong testimonials on the sub ject. In the light of the moral, social and economic benefits derived from the prohibitory law, testified to by men of every class, a deficiency of a few thousand dollars seems of com paratively little Importance. As a matter of fact the loss of the $600,000 a year in revenue to West Virginia as a result of the adoption of the constitutional prohibition amend ment does not impose upon the Indi vidual taxpayer any burden worth con sidering. In a letter written by the state auditor, which has recently been made public, he shows that live ceutB additional state taxes on the hundred dollar valuation will take care of the money loss on liquor licenses. This would cost a man whose property was assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; If he has $2,000 worth, he would have to pay one dollar, and If he had $10,000, he would be obliged to expend five dollars. So much for the enormous load of taxation being thrust upon the property owners of the state because of prohibition! The payment of such Insignificant amounts would certainly appeal to a level-headed business man as a mighty good investment. DRINKERS' DEATH RATE HIGH. Startling evidence of the effect of alcohol on the moderate drinkers is offered by the Life Extension insti tute. The bulletin Issued to Its mem bers shows that In one Canadian and three British life Insurance companies the mortality among so-called moder ate drinkers, accepted as temperate and healthy risks, exceeded the death rate among the abstainers by 78, 37, C2 and 41 per cent, respectively. New data was recently compiled by forty-three American life insurance companies, covering a period of twenty-five years, with the following re sults: Steady moderate drinkers, ac cepted as standard risks, death rate 86 per cent above the average. Former drinkers (admitting past excesses), death rato 60 per cent above the aver age. Very moderate drinkers, 18 per cent above the average. "Experimental laboratory work," says the board of scientific authorities, "has kept pace with statistical investi gation, and the knowledge gained from the laboratory, not only in experiments on animals, but on man himself, shows that a higher death rate among alco hol users Is what we would naturally expect to find in the light of what wo know regarding Its effects on the body." POOR OLD JOHN. John Barleycorn the swaggering, Just now Is badly staggering beneath repeated blows; for kings say, "Ho Is ruinous dodgast the stuff he's brew' In' us," and biff him on the nose. Tho kings, alert and vigorous, are taking measures rigorous, to swat old John again: "He's worse than guns and sabers are," remark the kings, "his labors are addressed to drowning men. Out where our flags are shim' mering the bottle must go glimmering, It makes the soldier rudo; it spoils the ardent warrior, and nothing could bo sorrier than fighting men half stewed." Thus speak the Lord's anointed ones, and they are the ap pointed ones their people's weal to guard; they see that John, the lecher ous. Is vicious, mean and treacherous, and so they soak him hard. And if, In Europe's villages, old John, who slays and pillages, runs up against a frost, the war, with all Its slaughtering, that leaves the nations tottering, is well worth what It cost. Walt Mason. ATTITUDE OFCATHOLIC CHURCH. "All the great Catholic societies re' fuse membership to those engaged In the liquor business," says Mr. John F. Cunneen, prominent Catholic and la bor leader. "In Maine the Catholics have a majority of the church mem bershlp, and you know how Maine stands on the liquor question. In Cambridge, Mass., the Catholic church membership equals 71 per cent of the total church membership, and for 28 years Cambridge has outlawed the sa loon. While the Catholic may voto as he pleases upon the saloon ques tion, the church gives him no argu ment In favor of the saloon. On the contrary, all the arguments are against it. Rev. James E. Cassldy of Fall River. Mass., once said: 'You dare not pray for the saloon.' No Catholic who follows Father Cassldy's advice will vote for the saloon." INCREASED POPULATION. We learn from United States cen sus bulletins that of the nine middle western states Kansas, from 1900 to 1910, increased In population 15 per cent; Missouri, 6 per cent; Wisconsin, 12; Nebraska, 11; Indiana, 7; Michi gan, 12; Minnesota, 18. In spite of the growth of Chicago, Illinois In creased but 17 per cet. Iowa Bhows an actual loss of 3 per cent. Of the states mentioned, Kansas la the only one that advanced during the ten years In both crops and manufac tures. CONSPICUOUS BY ABSENCE.
