Ebook Dreams of the First and Twentieth Century

God and the angels of heaven. The earth to-day seems like a great plague-spot on Gods beautiful creation, or a dark and tangled jungle filled with carnivorous wild beasts, that roar and howl in their greedy eagerness to devour one another, with might is right as their motto. The Book says the lion and the lamb shall lie down together in peace, so shall the pitiful starveling sit down at the royal table the great table of the king when all nations are joined together under the banner of Jesus, the Christ of God. The amalgamation of corporations and societies, the proposed uniting of some denominations of churches, etc., foreshadow the willingness of the people for this near-coming climax. Socialism in its highest phase, councils of women, christian societies of men and women, and we would not omit that great Christ-taught body, the Salvation Army, all numerous and, thank God, almost invincible in our lands. We are saved from hopelessness when we know the splendid work these noble fearless men and women are accomplishing. When we see some giant minds breaking the bonds of orthodoxy, and daring to love God and man, and defy the galling chains which bind their thoughts to the old rags of superstition and dogma, we grow still more hopeful.
