Religious Conflict in the Balkans
An engagement has taken place on the Montenegrin frontier between the Turks and Montenegrins. Other skirmishes have taken place, and the Turks regard these actions as amounting to the beginning of hostilities between themselves and the Balkan States. A Servian priest blessed the departing soldiers of his country, bidding them to expel the Turks from Europe and to reinstate the cross on the Mosque of St. Sophia in Constantinople. This mosque was originally built by Constantine the Great and dedicated to the Christianity that he misrepresented. It is apparent that there is a religious element that may have far-reaching results in this controversy between the Balkan States and the Turkish nation. Students of prophecy always turn their eyes with keen interest to any movement that involves the stability of the Turk in Europe.
