Note and Comment

DR. J. M. BUCKLEY, editor of the leading Methodist organ in the United States, foresees that we have arrived at a great national crisis. He says:—

It does not require a prophet or the son of a prophet to tell us that within three years this country will pass through a terrible crisis if there is not an immediate change in the relations of capital and labor. It seems as if both had thrown Christian conduct and common sense to the winds. Things have been going from bad to worse, and labor unions have now assumed so arrogant an attitude that a great crash is almost inevitable. You have only to read the history of Rome, changing names and dates, to see what this country is coming to.

The last sentence of this quotation will have a familiar sound to many who read these lines, and they will remember that this truth was discerned and pointed out by Seventh-day Adventists years ago. In the knowledge of all that is essential to Christian living here and preparation for the hereafter, the third angel’s message places its adherents years in advance of the rest of the world.
