ON EUROPE'S CHECKER-BOARD
Particularly during the seventies, this subject was clearly presented by the veteran editor of the Review and Herald, author of "Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation, or the Response of History to the Voice of Prophecy." Clearly he showed, by fact and comment, that Turkey would eventually be driven out of Europe; that afterward the nation would withdraw from Mesopotamia; that the seat of empire would be at last located at Jerusalem, and here the end would come. In the same connection, he pointed out the age-long ambition of Russia as shown in the will of Peter the Great, and later in every political and military move of that nation upon the checkerboard of Europe. To-day there is needed the same clear note of warning regarding the fulfillment of prophecy. To-day, a thousand times more than then, the omens multiply, showing that soon, none know how soon, the events long expected will be realized. As surely as the allies win the present war — and who can see any other ending for the struggle now? — the Turk will be driven out of Europe.
