The True Source of Knowledge

By L. L. C.

It is remarkable how much credence is now given to the sayings of Spiritualistic mediums and clairvoyants. This, however, is in accord with what we may expect in these last days. Mme. A. de Thebes, the well-known French clairvoyant and astrologer, who in 1913 predicted that the following year would be a year of great shedding of blood, has now predicted that the war is soon to end. She says:—

“I have predicted that the war will end this year, and I desire to say now, despite all circumstances and arguments to the contrary, that peace will be declared before the new year. And peace will come suddenly and unexpectedly. The roar of the guns will cease overnight, and the soldiers on both fronts will be called home to peaceful pursuits. Fate has so decreed it.”

All lovers of peace would be glad to see the war end this present year, but we must recognize that Madame Thebes has no more means of really knowing the future than has any one else. The only way any knowledge of the future may be obtained is through the study of the prophecies of the Scripture. These seem to indicate that if we again have peace on earth, it will be for only a short time, in order that God's work may be finished, and his message proclaimed throughout all the world. L. L. C.
