' LETTERS «THE PEOPLE WHAT DO THEBE THINGS MEAN? I'or years tho leading statesmen of the world have been looking for the dow'iifall of tho Turkish Empire, an'i said that it would involve a univer sal war. In David 11, is a literal prophecy of the Turk, called the "King of tho North.” It says: "He shall come to his end and none shall help him.”— V. 45. The Turks have a tradition today that whenever they are compelled to have Constantinople, then they will establish thrlr capital at . Jerusalem. Now that is .lust where the Bible says (V. 46): "He shall plant the taber nacles of his palace between the seas In the glorious holy There, according to Joel, 3:5-14, the great battle of "Armageddon” will be fought. In Revelations, 16:12-15, the great river ‘ Euphrates will be dried up. River waters” in Rev. 17:15 means people. Now all this takes place un der the sixth plague; but the plagues are not poured out till the door of mercy has closed, and God’s sealing work of Rev. 7 has been finished. V Ind In prophecy means war. The four angels of Rev. 7 are about to lot 6" fron > bolding the nations in check. Yes. dear reader, we are about to nntcr the great time of trouble spoken of In Dan. 12: J Rut at that time God’s people will lie delivered, even every one who have their names writ ten in His hook. 1 cs, we are in the closing scenes of this world’s history. And God’s word says: ‘’This gospel of the king dom shall he preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations and then shall the end come.”—Matt. 24:14. Within the past few years the "gos pel has been going to every nation under the sun. and He will finish tho work and cut tt short In righteous ness. ... . . M. J. WEBER. 315 Metcalf St., City.

New York.—ln view of the recent announcement by the Hamburg- American Line that it was consider ing bona-fide offers for the purchase by Americans of some of its vessels tied up In American waters, inquiry was made today at the offices of other German lines to determine whether similar offers were being en tertained. At the North German Line this declaration was made by its pub licity representative: “The North German Lloyd Line is willing now, as it always has been in the past, to sell any of its ships If it can get the price it demands for them. The present situation in Europe has nothing to do with our willingness to sell. We always have been ready to sell them.” Thre are at present eleven ships of the North Gorman Lloyd Line in American waters. Upon these the line places an approximate valuation of $20,500,000. In Daeific waters the line has eight ships, valued in all, at $5,000,000. A FESTIVE SIRE. "Young Mr. Toddles seems very grsve and thoughtful for his time of life.’’ "Yes.
