To The Reader: -
Many Bible students, though conscious of the fact that the prophesies are clothed in mystery, impressed with the unprecedented events of the day, are making a careful study thereof, and the writer, a layman, with great modesty, presents the following for your consideration.

The fact that prophesies were proclaimed, that many of them have come to pass with marked precision, and that others are unfolding in the present day, establishes and confirms their Divine inspiration. Most important events are prophesied to come to pass, in this generation, yea, possibly even in the tomorrow; such as should thrill our hearts, broaden our vision, and sustain us and hearten us against each and all of the trials of the hour.

They are abandoning their sins and surrendering to their finer impulses. Monarchies are crumbling; reforms are sweeping over the lands in great tidal waves that are irresistible. The people are learning to discriminate more clearly between the right and the wrong. Christians all over the world are responding with great sacrifice, even unto death; martyrs to the cause as truly as were the saints of the earlier days of the faith. Christiantiy is not a failure.
