The Conditions in Germany
By Editor
THE lower house of the Prussian Diet, after a long debate, passed a motion requiring the government to use all lawful means to "check the growing immorality, especially in the large towns." Out of the 443 members, 370 voted in its favor. Moving-picture exhibitions and dance halls open all night are among the things spoken of as causes of the degradation. The report states that "there is not the least doubt that 'night life' is flourishing extraordinarily throughout Germany, and there is hardly a provincial town of any importance which has not one or more dancing establishments open until the early morning. These establishments carry on their business under the flare of electric lighting." We should not close our eyes to the fact that conditions of this kind answer accurately to the Saviour's prophecy that the world at the close of time would be as it was in the days of Lot. If ever there was an exact fit in anything, it may be seen in the accuracy with which present-day conditions fulfil the Bible predictions.
