Times of Strife and Violence.—

By Editor

The illustration on page 10, of a funeral in New Jersey, and the one on page 11, of a tumultuous concourse of people in Japan, both taken from photographs, are quite suggestive. Photographs of the kind could be secured in almost limitless quantities from every part of the world. They show in picture what is so fully depicted in word and act,—that this world, in every part of it, is in a state of seething discontent. The significance of it we seek to keep before the world, because of the glorious event of the second coming of Christ that is portended, and that lies just ahead of us, at which time all strife and sin and crime will be forever brought to an end.
