World-Wide Struggle and Its Significance
By Editor
THE despatches of April 20 tell of a battle between the striking miners in Colorado and the state militia. This Colorado controversy has been in progress now for something like a year, and things of this character are becoming so numerous that they occupy only very small space in the news of the day. Such an occurrence thirty or forty years ago would have had front page space in the papers, and big headlines. The conflict between the laboring man and the capitalist, which is the real issue there in Colorado and elsewhere in so many parts of the world, is growing in intensity. But is the true significance really appreciated? The rights and the wrongs that are argued on both sides of this question are receiving a great deal of discussion. But are the people realizing that the world is marching on with an irresistible progress to revolution and anarchy? Do they realize that the only power that can meet this situation is that which will be displayed by Christ at His coming? Do they realize that the prophets of the Bible have foretold these conditions clearly, and presented them as tokens of the great climax to this world's history? Even the mocking jeer of those who deride the doctrine of the soon coming of Christ has received attention from the prophets, showing that the great multitude will not believe it. But there stands the evidence in all its clearness to those who are willing to accept it.
