JT is worthy ro remark that in the divine dealings with the Jewish nation, as exhibited in Biblical history or the writings of the prophets there is an absence of everything giving countenance to the idea of a personal devil In all God's expostulations with His people, the appeal is to themselves. There is no recognition of diabolical agency or occult influence. How shall we account for this. If Satanic influence, of the type recognised by popular tradition, were a fact, it would surely be recognised in proceedings intendied to remedy. its evil working. Would it be righteous to charge the responsibility of devilish suggestion upon poor beleaguered human nature?- "Devilinfluence must detract from human accountability in the ratio of its potency. No account of the existence of such an influence is taken in God's extensive communings wth His chosen nation. This is one of the strongest evidences that it is a fiction. And a fiction it is; seareh and see for yourself, free literature to assist giadly sent to any interested on application to H. W. Christiie, McDonaldf Road, Levin. CAN THE WORLD SURVLVE ANOTHER WAR? QAN THE WORLD SURVTVE ANOTHER WAR? is the questibn that most thinking men and women are askmg today. With the menace of atomic power looming large on the horizon, eveii though in its infancy, the possibilities seem very doubtful. In spite of this, the question is still being asked, Cah war be averted? Man is fast approaching the stage in the world's history described in the Bible as "The days of tribulation." (See Matthew 24, verse 21.) The days in which we live have been clearly predicted in great detail. So has the climax. Mankind will be allowed to go so far, and no further in his frenzied attempts at self-annihilation. Ihe scriptures state that there would come a time in the world's history which is described as "A time of tribulation such as was not, since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be." (See Matthew 24.) Take particlular note of Verse 22. But for the ELECT'S sake, those days shall be shortened" (i.e., curtailed). How will a stop £e put to this time of trouble? The prophesy of Daniel provides the ariswer in Chapter 2, verse 44. "In the days of these Kings shall the God of Heaven set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for EVER." From this and other passages it is obvious that the world is shortly to possess ONE KING, ONE EMPIRE, and ONE RELIGION. This is God's answer to the question, Can the world survive another war? He will send JESUS CHRIST, whom the heavens must receive UNTIL the times of restitution of all things. (See Acts 3, verse 20.) How will you be affected?
