Consul Brundage, at Aix-la-Chapelle, in France, makes the statement that, "as trusts are now being discussed in the United States, it may be of interest to know that practically every industry in my consular district is managed in this way." We have had occasion to mention several times that trusts and big combines are reaching out to take the control of commerce and business of all kinds in Great Britain. And now comes the announcement that the same diseased condition of things exists in France. No country seems to be exempt from the evil. What could be the motive power that seems to drive men on to pile up millions upon millions when they can not possibly use it, and when they have no manner of need of it? There is just one thing, and that is covetousness of the basest sort. And God's Word tells us that the covetousness in the last days shall become so great that it will make the times perilous. These times are certainly perilous. Every one acknowledges it. And all can see that covetousness is one of the basic causes of this perilous condition of things. Then where are we in the world's history? Are you prepared to meet the issues that are confronting us in this time?
