THE WAR AND PROPHECY.
The Russo-Japanese war drags
its slow lencrth alone, with the
- cj '
prospect of settlement no nearer
than at the opening of hostilities.
Russia, as always, displays her ac
customed doggedness in warfare,
as indifferent to defeat as to vic
tory. Time is her ally in truth.
Her own unwieldiness enables her
to prolong the conflict indefinitely
Japan, too, gives promise of strug
gling to the last, lier fate as a
nation is in the balance,and she has
has had just sufficient taste of "19th
centurv" nroaress to desire to
live. Now, since inventiveness in
the arts of destruction has kept
pace with those of production the
present conflict in the JFar East
bids fair to outstrip any previous
war in history in bloodiness. The
religious world siezes upon the
event and points to it as the initial
feature of the great battle of
Agamemnon foretold in prophecy,
when the "wicked shall be con
sumed as chaff before the burn
ing " The fact of the war is not
C
the sole support of such a position.
The same prophecy foretells the
return of the Jewish people to the
Holy Land and the restoration of
the city of Jerusalem to even
greater than its former glory. It
is a fact that the Saltan of Turkey
now permits the Jews to inhabit
that ancient city and the whole of
Syrifi.; and large numbers of the
Jewish people are centralizing
there from all lands. Synagogues
have been built within eight of the
mosques, and at the present time
work is progressing in the cities of
Rome and Naples on the columns
designed for the new temple,
whose beauty of engravure by the
foremost artists of the world, to be
beset with the rarest jewels, out
vies the ancient glories of Solo
mon. Indeed certain religious au
thorities announce with positive
ness that the second coming of
Christ will occur in 1928.
However, it is not prophecy
which engages the interest of the
Gazette at this writing. The sub
ject, however inviting, is far be
yond the limits of our successful
speculation.
The subject under discussion is
war. It seems to us that if men
are free moral agents, and not the
puppets of destiny (which would
excuse their actions because con
trolled by Divinity), war should
become a relic of the past. The
Creator provides man with a beau
tiful and productive world. Each
successive year brings with it its
plenty; and genius is given free
play in all departments of:
human activity to contribute
ute to the happiness of men. To
