THE CONFLICT OF THE AGE.
"I saw heaven opened mid behold a white
horse , and he that silt theroon was called
faithful and true , in righteousness doth he
jiidjreaiulmiikc man. And lie was clothed in
a vesture dipped in blood and his nnme is
called the word of God. " Uev. l'J ; 11,13.
This conllict was iuaufraratcd over eighteen
hundred years ago , and is still raging with un
abated fury. It was foretold by the prophet
Micah four hundred years before the coming
of our Lowl , "And thou Ileihlehem art not the
least among the princes or .1 udah , for out of
thee nhall come a governor who shall rule my
people I&rael. " Also by Jeremiah , "Behold
the ilaj'S , when , saitli the Lord , 1 will raise un
to David a righteous braneh , and a king shall
reign and piosper and shall execute judgment
and justice in the earth. " It was announced in
fact by John the Haptist saying , "Uepcnt ye
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. " "And
now also the ax is laid at the root of the
tree , and everj * tree that bringeth forth good
fruit is hewn down and cast into the fire. " Our
Lord himself said that , "Think not that Icome
to send peace , but a sword and a man's
foes shall be they of his own house. " "And a
man tiiat lovcth father or mother , husband or
wife moio than me , and he thattaketh not up
his cross and followeth me is not worthy of
me. " Is it not an astonishment to see soldiers
of the cross , who have enlisted under the blood
stained banner of our crucified Lord , sit at
ease in Zion and cry peace when there is no
peace , when they see wickedness enthroned in
high places and nets spread for the feet of the
many to draw them to certain destruction ,
that by administering to the depraved appe
tites of their weak and fallen brethren they
may grow rich and full and riot in wantonness ,
while the tears and prayers of their wretched
victims and tlieir helpless wives and children
cry to a just God for vengeance. These are
suiely not tiie soldicis that John saw with
prophetic vision , for it is said that in righteous
ness and justice doth ho judge and make war ,
and the armies that followed him in this
heavenly conllict weie on white horses , em
blems of truth and purity , and they were
clothed in tine linen , white and clean , and they
that are with him are called chosen and faith
ful. Dear christian leader , are you of that
faithful number ? Then icjoice and be exceed
ing glad for great is your reward in heaven.
But , oh ! be warned if you are at case and do
ing nothing in this righteous war against in
temperance and every legalized crime. "Son of
man , I have made thee a watchman unto the
house of Israel. Therefore here the word out
of my mouth and give them warningfrom me.
When I sav to the wicked thou shalt surely die ,
and thou givesthim not warning nor speaketh
to warn the wicked from his wicked way to
save his life , the same wicked man shall die in
his iniquity , but his blood will I require at
thine hand. " 13/ekial 3:17-18. Let no christian
think that tLis warning is only for ministers ,
for in tiie Lord's kingdom there are no class
distinctions. All are simply enlisted followeis
of the Lamb and they are to follow him whith-
eisoeverhegoeth. And"out of his mouth goeth
a sharp sword , that with it he should smite the
nations. " This then is the instrument of our
warfare. Havingour "feet shod with the prep
aration of the Gospel and our loins girt about
with truth , having on t'ao breastplate of right
eousness and for an helmet , the crowning
piece of our armor , the hope of salvation and
with all these the sword of the spiritt which is
the written word of God. "we shall conquer
all our foes and put to Slight the amnios of the
aliens. " Weare only lequiicd to give them the
word from God's mouth. Toll the wicked if
they continue in their wickedness they shall
surely die , and we shall gave our souls alive.
Our Blessed Savior conquerod all tio ) tempta
tions of the Evil One by simply saying. "It is
written. " Then let us take up the blessed word !
of God , and study it reverently and prayer-
fully and find out what is written in its holy
pages against every evil way and especially
let us study what it says about the drunkard
and the drnnkard makois.for this is the dragon
of our time. The saints of the Lord have been
engaged in this coiitlii-t.Ttuth vs. Error , since
He came to condemn sin in tho liesh , but
whatever farm the diaaon took in earlier '
times if does not concern us to know , but it '
certainly is plain to bo seen that he is now en- '
trenched behind the licensed saloon. Then let
all the servants of the Lord rally to this strong- ,
hold of Satan. Tnank God for the blessed priv
ilege of being made co-worliers with Him , and J
being judged worthy to take part in thisglori- ,
ous war. The time drawetn near and those
who do not take up this work new will have to
take up the lament of the foolish virgins.
"And there was war in heaven. Michael and
his anyels fought against the dragon and the
dragon fought and his angels and prevailed !
not , neither was tliejr place found any more in j
heaven. " And I heard ao.ud / voice saying , i
"Now Is come salvation and stiongth and the j
kingdom of our God and the power of Isjs j
Christ , for the accuser of our brethren is cast i
down. And they overcame him by the blood '
of the Lamb , and by the word of their testi- (
mony and they loved not their lives unto the i
death. " ThntthisoonfiictwJiicbNJioiesaidto *
bo in heaven refers to tho opposition made by
tbe wicked to the heavenly truth Introduced by
Him who is represented as sitting on a whito
horse and in righteousness judging and mak- .
ing wnr , is shown by reference to tho 17th
yprse of tho 12 chapter of Revelation , "And
rtiC dragon was wroth with the woman ( the
cliuroluuiid went to make war with the rem- ,
