The “Watchman”

By Editor

The Present Truth Evangelizer

THE August issue of the Watchman will deal with the great conflict between capital and labor, which is the leading question of the hour, as crystallized in the great trial of labor leaders now charged with dynamiting the Los Angeles Times building. The matter will be discussed by the editor in a striking article entitled “The Widening Gulf.” The ever-widening breach between the people and the money power is described, and its relationship to prophecy is shown with thrilling interest.

FACSIMILE OF FIRST COVER PAGE
“Church Versus Labor Union” is a strong editorial on the true relationship of the church to labor unions, setting forth with striking clearness the effort of labor to uplift humanity through organization, and how the church has neglected her mission by entering the realm of politics and enforced religion.
“Patience in Perplexity, or Tokens of the End,” by C. P. Bollman, shows that the fearful unrest and discontent permeating the masses are but the ominous mutterings of the coming storm. We must, therefore, “be patient . . . unto the coming of the Lord” (James 5:7); for these conditions just precede that glorious event.
“The Swing of the Pendulum, and Then Armageddon,” by J. E. Fulton, portrays with absorbing interest the acute conditions in the far East. The “pendulum” of Anglo-Saxon conquest has for centuries swung far eastward, bringing nearly all Asia under its sway. It has reached the outer circle; for the defeat of the Russians turned all eyes upon Japan, who, rising up in the strength of her new nationalism, thrust back the great Caucasian tide that threatened to engulf her, and sent the pendulum with mighty impetus upon its return swing, sounding the cry, “Asia for the Asiatics!”
This issue will represent our best effort, and unusual pains has been taken to make it bear a great message to the struggling millions.
