Like the French Revolution
THE North American Review quotes a letter from a statesman, but does not feel free to append his name. In this letter, this statesman, referring to the European war, says: “This war is no more inexplicable, though on a vaster scale, than the French Revolution. It is in a sense a working out of those inscrutable forces of humanity on a more tremendous scale, a more fearful plan, but along the same lines as that which gave us the most stupendous enigma in history until now, the French Revolution.” There are many of the foremost students and thinkers of this time who recognize the striking similarity between the conditions that prevail throughout the world now and the situation in France just prior to her great Revolution and Reign of Terror. The picture would be an exceedingly dark one were it not for the pages of prophecy that show the light beyond.
