The Money Power and Coming Trouble
The people of Havana, Cuba, are quite a little disturbed over the price of meat. Thirty-five thousand head of cattle were imported during September, but there is no reduction in prices. Much of the meat is sold at forty cents a pound. Mayor Lacoste said this trouble is due to the fact that as soon as the heavy tax imposed by the Spanish Government on beef was removed, the importers made a ring, raising the price of live stock, and thus actually raising the price of beef. How significant and impressive are the well-nigh superhuman efforts that the money power is making to control everything in the world! Are you prepared to stand in the crisis that these relentless deeds of covetousness are about to produce? This inhuman greed for money is one of the leading factors in preparing the way for that great time of trouble that the prophets have told us is about to engulf the whole world. And this is no time to be found fighting the men of wealth; for that will do no good. Give all your time and energies to making it clear that the second coming of Christ is right at hand.
