Spicer, William Ambrose, 1865-1952

"Our Day In the Light of Prophecy"

It is no use
shutting our eyes. Revolution may not come soon, not probably
in our time, but come it will, and as sure as fate there will
be an explosion such as the world has never seen."
Of the rapid growth of discontent and its propaganda, Mr. Frederick
Townsend Martin, of New York, wrote:
"Fifty years ago there was scarcely a voice of protest; indeed,
there was hardly anything to protest against. Twenty-five years
ago the protest was clear and distinct, and we understood it.
Ten years ago the protest found expression in a dozen weekly
publications, but today the protest is circulated not by
hundreds or thousands of printed copies of books, pamphlets,
magazines, and newspapers, but actually by the million.
"This propaganda of protest has its daily papers that are
distinctive and published for that purpose, and that purpose
only. It has its magazines and tens of thousands of weekly
papers. Only a fool sneers at such a volume of publicity as
that....
"The warnings that hundreds of us are uttering may be ignored.
