The Fever for Shedding Blood
The Springfield Republican of July 31 exclaims: “What in the world is the matter with the world? The fever for shedding blood is ‘in the air’ all around the globe. Those nations which, a few years ago, were relied upon to help keep the peace of the world are breaking it. The contagion of killing spreads.” The answer is, We are in the last days, when the “perilous times” have come, in which “evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived;” and when, because of all this, there hastens the “time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation,” from which none can be saved but those whose names are “written in the book.” Is your name in the book of life? “Get ready, get ready, get ready.”
