IN THE TWO CAMPS.

THE rioting in London, Ontario, is but another of the world-wide evidences that there are two hostile camps spread all over the earth. The capitalists are already organized thoroughly, and are rapidly combining into trusts to control everything. The laborers are organized into unions and are seeking to compel the capitalists to recognize them. And so the strife is on, and it will become more and more bitter and violent.

This will not only be a world-wide strife, but it will be the very worst kind of strife that could be imagined. When one nation is at war with another there are always places of comparative safety. When revolution breaks out in only one or two countries, there are other countries in which one may reside in security. But that which confronts us now is not a local or even a national commotion; it is a revolution that is to be absolutely world-wide.

God is the only one who has provided a shelter against that awful time, the threshold of which we are now passing. Into His shelter He is entreating us to take refuge. We should hear and heed His voice.
