Signs of a Troubled World

THE unusual conditions of this time are causing men to tremble, and to ask anxiously for the meaning of it all. The nations of the whole earth are in a ferment, and storm and destructive flood are seen in very many parts of the world. As the increasing wickedness is considered, it brings very forcibly to mind the warning: "Hear the word of the Lord, ye children of Israel: for the Lord hath a controversy with the inhabitants of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land. By swearing, and lying, and killing, and stealing, and committing adultery, they break out, and blood toucheth blood. Therefore shall the land mourn, and every one that dwelleth therein shall languish." Hosea 4: 1-3.
