Will Turkey Lose Her European Possessions?

By Editor

WILL Turkey lose her European possessions as the result of the present war? This will depend doubtless upon the peace conditions which at this writing (November 15) Turkey is endeavoring to arrange with her warlike neighbors. There seems little question but that the result to Turkey will be the loss of her European territory. This, according to the Scriptures of Truth, must be the ultimate outcome, whether it occurs at this particular juncture or is a little longer delayed. The prophet of God, long centuries ago, saw that this power in the latter end of its history would be driven out from among the civilized nations of Europe, back to its natural habitat in Asia. For years all Europe has demanded this expulsion. The inability of the great powers to settle the division of Turkish territory has prevented the realization of this end. How long after Turkey removes her capital to Asiatic soil will its history continue the prophet does not indicate. We are warranted, however, in believing from the many indications on every side that not many years will elapse before Michael shall stand up to reign, and the everlasting kingdom of righteousness and peace succeed all earthly dominion.

WHAT will be the result of the recent Harvest Ingathering campaign for missions? A note from Elder F. H. Henderson, of Zanesville, Ohio, states that the church in that place, with a membership of twenty-seven, obtained fifty dollars for this fund. He raised as the result of his own efforts $105. Others we hope have done as well, and we believe that a larger amount for missions will be harvested this year than ever before.
