Women in the Trenches

ACCORDING to a news dispatch, 250,000 Serbian women will soon be fighting in the trenches as common soldiers. They say that “will not stay at home and see their sons and husbands slaughtered and their homes destroyed.” The same dispatch says that the Serbian women are very courageous and many of them have already been killed while fighting at the front.

And this is in the great age of boasted “Christian nations,” boasted “civilization,” and a time for “universal peace.” Yet even the women of not only Serbia but practically all the nations of Europe and Asia are in one way and another drawn into the war struggle. It is well to keep in mind that the actual conditions of this time and the theories of the age are very much out of joint; but the conditions as they exist and the Bible forecast make a perfect fit.
