Preparing for War.

By Dudley Marvin Canright

ALL the European nations are wasting their strength, their wealth, and their manhood, in maintaining larger armies than they can afford without impairing their reproductive forces. Germany is sacrificing the future of the German nation to gratify Bismarck’s inordinate military ambition.—San Francisco Post, Nov. 11.

“SNUFFING THE BATTLE.”

It is evident from the complexion of yesterday’s telegraphic dispatches that our planet is not in the pacific condition which would indicate the speedy advent of a millennium. From every quarter of the globe come rumors of wars, or of warlike preparation.—San Francisco Chronicle, Nov. 18.

Here we see a fulfillment of Joel 3:9–15; Rev. 11:18, the nations preparing for war.
