Warnings of Class Division

"What we want," said a loud-voiced man in the street the other day, "is to make the man that has five dollars to divide, so we may each have one;" and his remarks were greeted with laughter by two others at work near by. He continued, "We want the rich to divide with us," and his immediate auditors agreed. It was just this sort of thing that preceded the French Revolution, represented in the Scriptures as the bottomless pit (Rev. 11 : 7); and the testimony of prophecy is that such things shall be repeated before the end (Rev. 17 : 8).
