Lecture Was Well Attended Sunday To a good sized audience Evangelist S. R. Haynes delivered the first of a series of seven lectures on Prophecy, relative to the events of the day, at the Court House last, night. The lecture was illustrated by a number of pic- ; tures throwu on the screen, bringing j home to the audience the terrible de i struction of life and property now ; going on in Europe.

He went on to show that it was a fulfillment of prop! hecies which speak of the last preat clash of arms before the break, i UlK dmvn ()f presenr WI1,itIolls. i Mr. Haynes gave a vivid reading of , the eleventh chapter of Daniel. Claim ing that this prophecy plainly reveals the final movements of the Turkish Empire, he stated tint the driving of the Turk from Europe was ;a signal of the second coming of Christ. That Turkey is slowly being forced out of Europe by the nations is plainly evident by the articles that have 1 been put dished, written by many of the statesmen of Europe. The determina- Hon of the nations is to rid the world of the unspeakable Turk. When Turkey is finally driven from her European possessions and sets up ! her seat of government in Jerusalem. 1 i d ww if1 te t Incf -tf tjit rtf Daniel eleven. leads the nations of the earth into the great battle of Ar- j uiageddon spoken of in Revelation 16 : i 12-10. "This is the place," Mr. Hay nes said, "where the speakers and writers of the day get that word. But that its significance is greatly misun derstood is easily seen by the articles that comes from these writers. This present struggle is not Armageddon according to the Scripture, but I he great final struggle will take place un der the sixth plague, and it will be fought by all the armies of the earth gathered together in the valley of Jezreel, north of Jerusalem, to break down the last vestige of power of the Ottoman Empire .and to resist the com ing of Christ if possible. This marks the final struggle of the human race before Christ takes his people to Him self." The next Jeeture by Mr. Haynes will be given Titesday night; The subject is "Have we Entered The Millennium?" The public is cordially invited to le present.
