The World's Need? One Hundred Other Momentous Questions in History

Excerpt from The World's Need? One Hundred Other Momentous Questions in History

The plan pursued in this book is simple. One hundred and one decisive questions in history are on trial. The evidence presented on ninety-five of these questions is Bible and Secular, and on five Secular.

The witnesses are from many walks of life. Historians, educators, ministers, statesmen, prophets, kings, slaves, editors, lawyers, reformers, business men, warriors, physicians, poets, artists have been summoned.

In each case the reader is to be judge and jury.

Among the valuable articles written especially for this book is one indeed unique. It is by Colonel John Sobieski, for long years "heir to the throne of Poland," a man to whom this nation owes a large debt.

Years ago, when the martyr's blood was shed on American soil for fighting the diabolical Drink Traffic, he dedicated his magnificent powers of leadership to the unpopular Prohibition Movement. Far out on the firing line this Pole, who had risked his life in the Civil War, battled for the freedom of American homes from the saloon.

Not content with this, in the days when the advocacy of Woman Suffrage was ridiculed and fought, again this Pole with the blood of generations of kings and queens flowing in his veins championed the cause of the enslaved, and battled for the emancipation of woman.

What a powerful rebuke the pride of this man in possessing the title - American Citizen - ought to be to all who desert and betray the foundation principles on which our Republic was built!

His special article is given as evidence on Question 100.

Each purchaser of this volume is invited to reply to Question 101, by adding five words to those which on page 186 begin the answer.

Fifty dollars will be awarded for the first answer which reaches the Forget-Me-Not Publishing Company and is the same as that of the compiler.
