EEV. B. M. HEALD SPOKE
ON "THE LATEST BIBLE
WAR 1NLW5 - LAil IMIUH I
"
The seating capacity of the Odd Fel-
low's hall was taxed as Re B. M. Heald j
spoke to his advertised subject, "Hie
Latest Bible War News," last night.
Mr. Heald" said in part: ''The most
gigantic, devastatingVar recorded in the
history oi the human race hat suddenly
broken upon us. Two-thirds of the hu
man family have been drawn itno the
bloody carnage, While the world is stag
gering under the terrific blows of the
imps of hell, and millions of men arc be
ing slain on the blood -drenched battle
fields, many are asking, 'What does this
war meant'
"Th econviction is deepenign in the
minds of men, that it is far more serious
than was at first realized," said the
speaker. . "While I do not believe that
fthe present conflict Is the battle of Ar
mageddon, I do belivee that we are head
ed that way, That the battle of Rev.
10:12-16 is about to be fulfilled is a fact
With which every, Bible student is ac
quainted, ;''X''"Te war prophecies are the
most reliable information that we can
.find, and when we read that liingdom
shall rise agaiij t kingdom, snd nation
against nation,' 'that the nations ' are
angry, that there shall le 'wars and ru
mors of wars? it does not take a prophet
nor the son of a pro h t to fcc that we
have come to the fulfillment tl all these
Bible predictions.
"Oh, that the world would read the
signs of the times in this war! Oh, that
sorrowing ncarts might know that the
awful events now baptizing the world in
Wood are omens of a brighter day! Men,
, my message to you tonight is,
e to meet thy God! , u

There was absolute unanimity as to

Heretofore the salary of the pastor ha '

the fact that the church was in debt
on its current- expenses the pulpit com

Clarke be railed and that his salary for

of fl.500, with the provision that it be
