The Cologne Gazette says, "If the Boers, in consequence of a protracted campaign, should cause England serious trouble in her international politics, Germany will retain a free hand and guard her interests in a manner becoming the dignity of a first-class power." The evidences are too numerous to make note of showing that the nations to-day are not watching to conserve the peace of the world, but rather to see how much advantage they may gain by the difficulties of another power. Do such things as these mark the beginning of the reign of a millennium of peace on earth?—Nay, verily. They show most forcibly that the world is rapidly shaping itself for the great battle of Armageddon. But Armageddon's fight is at the end of time. Are you ready for the momentous event? These are no times for men to be thinking of killing each other in battle. Eternity, with all its possibilities and never-ending realities, is right here, and Satan wishes to have our minds all engrossed in wars, and such like distracting subjects. But do not be deceived. Get ready to meet the righteous Judge, our tender Redeemer. His coming is right at hand.
