Warning of Another Revolution
By T.
The French Revolution and To-Day.— It has been a number of months since Judge Gary, one of the most influential and powerful business men in the world, is reported to have said: “There are things being said nowadays which are very similar to things said just before the French Revolution. I tell you the spark may yet make a flame, and that soon, unless rulers, capitalists, corporations, rich men, powerful men themselves, take a leading part in trying to improve the conditions of humanity. Great changes will come, and they will come mighty quickly, and the mob will bring them.” The things to which Mr. Gary refers that are said in this time, are said more and more, and with greater and still greater bitterness, as the days go by. Only there is this difference between now and the days preceding the French Revolution: The conditions in this time are worse than they were in the days that preceded the great revolution in France. Men everywhere are seeing that this state of things can not continue without bringing on rioting and violence that will go beyond description. Men ought to be able to see that this whole world is coming into its death throes. The just and living God of the Bible can not permit these conditions to continue without striking them with righteous judgments. The history of His dealings with the great iniquity that swept the world just before the Flood, is a warning of what He will surely do in this time. The evidence is abundant if we will only give attention to it. T.
