What May Be Expected.

By Editor

A valued correspondent in New York City writes that in a late conversation with a union labor man the recent trolley strike in that city was discussed, and naturally the last serious strike, about four years ago, in which there was much disorder, to suppress which the militia were called out. The labor man said that “at that time the militia fired with bullets on the strikers; but as many of the strikers belonged to the militia, the orders were not to harm the soldiers. Since then we have received orders not to join the militia, and to withdraw as soon as our terms expire; so next time the soldiers are called out to shoot the citizens, we will be prepared with our guns too.” It is not only the nations that are arming, but organizations of all sorts. God's call to the Christian is, “Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.”
