11. America's place is alongside of Britain, Canada, Australia, South Africa, et al, in the War of Armageddon.

12. The Kaiser's sister wondered what they would do with "Poor Wilhelm".

13. Armageddon plainly set out in the Bible. We are heading for it now.

CHAPTER IX

In 1879 Rev. Joseph Wild, then preaching in Brooklyn, N.Y., published a book, The Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, in which he predicted the breakup of Russia within fifty years, the taking of Jerusalem and Palestine from Turkey and the giving of it to the Jews for a national home.

This student of Israel about that time had also predicted that the United States of America would help Britain in her next war with Egypt; though at the time most U.S.A. politicians were so busy twisting the old lion's tail and kicking it in the ribs, almost without provocation save to secure the Irish vote, that anyone who predicted that they would work together was considered more kinds of a fool than is permissible to put in print.

When 1882 came around and the world saw with surprise and some nations with deep resentment, that an American fleet did help the British. fleet at Alexandria, Egypt, my Scotch instinct and reason told me that the Reverend Doctor's dope along prophetic lines was good stuff and proved to me the value of the Bible prophecies.

A certain merry-eyed, dimpled-cheeked young lady attended the Reverend Dr. Wild's church each evening, and I soon found my unattached feet straying thitherward not, I am afraid, for the sole purpose of absorbing spiritual truths, but for the pleasure of walking home with the aforementioned dimples in the twilight.

However, I did absorb Bible facts that have never left me; though I am afraid I have not always made the best use of them, as I am just an ordinary everyday sinner like yourself, without as yet, my wife says, any sign of sprouting wingsand believe me, she knows!

When the South African war was at its height, I was much disturbed at the outlook after the Boers "did in" General Buller's army and his reports came trickling through time after time: "I regret to report." I remember asking Dr. Wild if Britain was going to lose South Africa. "No Sir! She will win. Great Britain is only to lose one of her offspring, according to the Bible, and she lost that a hundred years and more ago when Manasseh (U.S.A.) section set up in national business for themselves as had been foretold. Its not on the cards," he said, "that Great Britain will lose another Colony.' 99 And she didn't, though at that time not a nation the world round seemed to be her friend, and the Kaiser, with almost satanic glee, cabled his congratulations to

that great Boer leader, Paul Kruger, on his suc

cess.

Here are some messages the Prophet Isaiah addressed to the Brith Colony in Brith-ain, which colony had been there many, many hundreds of years when he sent this epistle to them about 712 B.C., and they would be as well known in the Home acres as is Alaska known to Washington to-day, because of the unending commerce between them.

49:1. "Listen, O isles [the British or Covenant Isles], unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far [the Americans, Canadians, Australians, New Zealanders, South Africans, etc.].

3. "Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified. [In the Anglo-Saxon nations, God's name has been glorified down through the centuries.]

8. "Thus saith the Lord, In an acceptable time have I heard thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee: and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to establish the earth, to cause to inherit the desolate heritages;

The Anglo-Saxon Celts have inherited the earth the last war pitched a hundred and fifty million heathen into Mother Britain's lap and made her responsible for their up-bringing. What a white man's burden!

9. "That thou mayest say to the prisoners, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Shew yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be in all high places.

12. "Behold, these shall come from far: and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these

from the land of Sinim [South-The Vulgate has it Australi].

59:18. "According to their deeds, accordingly he will repay, fury to his adversaries, recompense to his enemies; to the islands he will repay recompense." [Brith-ain of the Islands has been recompensed for her work among the lesser breeds without the Law].

60:9. "Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the Lord thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee.

12. "For the nation and kingdom that will not serve thee [Israel] shall perish; yea, those nations shall be utterly wasted."

The "isles" referred to are the British Isles from which sailed the ships of Tarshish as is shown by Rev. Dr. Wm. H. Poole in his book Anglo-Israel, published in 1882, now out of print, from which I quote the following data on Tarshish:

"Tarshish was a name given to one of Noah's grandchildren. Gen. 10:4. And the sons of Javan, Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.' It was the custom in those early days to name the country after the person who was the owner or ruler or chief. 'By these (persons named) were the Islands of the Gentiles divided in their lands.' To Tarshish was given the west coast of Europe and that country was so named as may be seen upon ancient maps, several of which I have before me. Upon one of these very ancient maps England is called Javan.

"The Rev. James McIntosh, curate, says 'Tarshish when resolved into its elements is-'tar' a border of fringe round about and 'shish' bright, shiny, white
