AMASSING COLOSSAL FORTUNES
By Editor
The "billionaire class" is now beginning. One speaking with divine foresight has given us the following picture of the last days: "Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days." James 5: 1-3. That the foregoing editorial is approximately correct we have no doubt. Beyond question, we have reached that period when men are heaping up treasures. There has been no similar period in the world's history in this respect. We behold before us a striking sign of the end of the world; for it was in the last days especially that we were to witness the piling up of colossal fortunes. The vast fortunes accumulated in such rapid succession, and in such an amazingly short period of time, tell us that the last days are here.
