The Licentiousness of the Last Days
Ten men, one of whom is prominent in business circles in Newark, were recently arrested in New York city and charged with "high misdemeanors" against little girls ranging from ten to fifteen years of age. The prominent business man is fifty-three years old, and probably has dragged a family into the disgrace with himself. Instances of this kind, along with many other such things that are so much in evidence in these last days, show how clearly the Lord's words are being fulfilled which tell us that the licentiousness of Sodom will characterize the closing years of time. Any one who will stop to consider seriously the condition of this world, not merely as regards licentiousness, but in every other characteristic as well, can not fail to have the conviction come over him that the God of justice and righteousness must soon arise in His majesty to strike down the evil.
