The Presidential Election

THIS paper is closed before the result of the Presidential election is known, but to those who really believe that the Lord is soon coming, and that all the temporal and consequently temporary governments of earth will soon give place to his everlasting kingdom, the result is of small consequence. The light of prophecy indicates clearly that this government will "speak as a dragon" in the near future, and the small matter of who is President will not change the inevitable. The manifest tendency of all parties to cater to the growing demand for religious legislation on the part of the general government is not a campaign issue; that which will hasten the final downfall of the nation, with all other earthly powers, is fostered by all parties; that which will develop the nation into a full-fledged religious persecuting power will come, no matter how the elections go. "Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help."
