G MOAT WAR PORKORHAI NED. Nations Will Do Rest, to Ensnare U. S. Says l'aster Russell. (Atlanta Constitution. 22d.) Declaring that the present Euro pean war was foreordained by Hod; that He will not change His plans to conform to those of President Wil son, who has called on the nation to pray for pear?, Pastor Russell, of Brooklyn Tabernacle, yesterday af ternoon addressed a large audience at the Atlanta Theater. "For 2,500 years Hod, through Hie Bible prophets, litis been telling Iiis people about this g teat war and con cerning the more terrible Armaged don which will follow it, and can we expect Him to revise the program at our behest?" asked Pastor Russell. Cannot Concur With Wilson. "Our honorable President, with praiseworthy intent, has requested till Christian people to ?pray for pi ice in Europe. I have been asked to sermonize accordingly. How ever. I cannot concur with our wor thy President in this matter. Much tis 1 appreciate peace and I have all my ilfe labored to be a peace maker 1 cannot pray the Almighty to chango His plans to conform to those of our honored President." "The prayers of these millions praying for the prosperity of the dormans and the extermination of the allies, and the* prayers of other millions for the success of the allies and annihilation of the Hermans, and the prayers of the Pope and our President and oilier good people that this awful war shall promptly cease will till go unanswered. The war will proceed and will eventually triumph in no glorious victory for any naci?n, but in the horrible muti lation and impoverishment of all. Next will follow the Armageddon ot anarchy." Pastor Russell said that after the great conflict there would be lasting peace, since tho "Messiah's king dom" would come, as ordained in the Bibb1. He said he had been pro claiming this very war for 40 years, basing his claims oil scriptural teach ings. All Nations Involved. "Apparently ?ill the nations will yet be involved," said Pastor Russell. "Our President and our Secretary' are men of peace, and will surely do all in their power to avoid complications ?ind war itself. Nevertheless the great nations of Europe, realizing bow much they will be weakened by this war. will do all in their power to '"?.-liare tl?ese United States, lest at Hie conclusion of the war we should tower above the others finan cially and otherwise." Pastor Russell said thal In the Di vine plan the year 1915 would mark thi' beginning of the "kingdom of Hod" on earth, which, he said, would tie a period of SOO years. At the end Of that period, he declared, would begin universal and everlasting peace. Ca ?I of Thanks.
