Great Events in 1914

IN the Harbinger of Light for January, the official organ of Spiritualism in Melbourne, Australia, Signor Valetti, a prominent Spiritualist, is quoted as saying, "A forecast for 1914 has been given to me by higher intelligences, and they are making provision for greater events, which assuredly will happen." In commenting upon this, Elder A. W. Anderson, editor of the Australasian Signs of the Times, says:—

"For years we have been looking for some great manifestation of satanic power. We are therefore not in the least surprised to be told that the students of occultism are being notified that the higher intelligences are making provision for great events, which assuredly will happen.

"Students of the prophecies of the Bible know for a certainty that we are now living in the period when we may expect great events to happen. We are actually nearing the great battle of God Almighty spoken of by the revelator, that battle in which the powers of darkness will make a supreme effort to capture the kingdom of Jesus Christ. Of the ultimate result of this conflict there can be no question whatever. Notwithstanding all the gigantic efforts of the prince of the power of the air, he will be no match for the almighty power of the King of kings and Lord of lords.

"The only question is, What will be the result to us individually, dear reader? Into that final conflict for which the preparations are now being made you will inevitably be drawn. Upon which side are you? 'He that is not with me is against me,' says the Lord. If you have not yet taken your stand upon the Lord's side, you are on the side of the enemy. When the great conflict begins, it will then be too late to change sides. Now is the time to take your stand for God. You have not a day to lose, for the crisis is rapidly approaching."
