“WHERE WILL IT END?”

By R. M. Kilgore

R. M. KILGORE.
It would seem that the Powers have rendered their decision, and China must not only be divided, but its people must be slaughtered. From a short article in the St. Louis Republic, by special cable from London, dated July 14, I quote the following:—
“China must suffer for her crime against Christendom.” “Western world against the Eastern.” “Everywhere it is preparation for war on a grand scale. Europe is arming for a crusade. The blood that has been shed in Peking is crying aloud to heaven, and such a revenge as the world is preparing for China has never been dreamed of before.” “To some nations a world-wide war seems inevitable; to others it is only a revenge for slaughter.” “You can not get an official statement from one high in authority, but the wires are humming with orders to arsenals and dockyards.”
“Lord Salisbury says the concert of the Powers is like a steam roller—hard to get started, but terrible and all-crushing when it once gets moving.”
“The steam roller is about to move. And the oldest empire in the world must crumble to atoms under its crushing weight.”
“The crime of the Yellow Dragon of the East has roused the chivalry of the West as nothing has roused it since the Crescent flew above the Cross in Jerusalem.”
“Lion and Bear and Eagle are rushing their cohorts to kill and burn and lay waste and devastate and desecrate; for they know that only a campaign of ruthless slaughter will bring China to its senses.”
“Europe’s troops can not reach the scene of slaughter before September; but when they do reach there, the rivers of China will run with blood.”
“Never since the Thirty-Years’ War have the war offices of Europe been so wrought up.”
“Rulers and cabinet ministers of every nation in Europe are up late to-night, and one question is upon every tongue: Where will it end?”
Only the student of prophecy can answer the question. Are we ready for the fearful catastrophe? “Get ready.”
