aARR YE READY 2"

This is good season Tor the AuTentlste
The re cent experience Of snow-storms and teu'
peratu ke at zero In the middle days Of Apri
has p1 epared, or ought to have prepared. people
for af most any meteorological disaster, even Il
the Il fasolurion Of al material things- We d.
not now, therefore, that anybody ought to be
surp Used at the announcement THAT the world i:
to & oue to Al end tomorrow evening. The
"Tu .aists, under the lead Of Brother THURMAN
have got 1t figured cut SO closely that nobody
butf professional astronomers will have the te'
mef ity to dispute them. Considered purely from
M chronological point OF viow, We don't see thal
tho to can be any reasonable objection to it, for il
is nnouncad that ''the elements shall melt
vii b fervent hest" That Is just what We have
all been waiting for, longing foz, praying for
AR We have about come to the conclusion that
we ,eha1l nevor hare any warmth sgain unless it
CO mes in the manner indicated. Some selfish

The date for the destruction Of the earth could
n ot have been more timely. Ne have Sunday
il immediately preceding for meditation, and aii
~ Monlay for final preparations. As the NUM-
ser of saints who are to be carried up into the
{ douds Is limited to 144,0o0. and the zeat
I II mankind are to be plunged into
! the lake Of fire, every one will have fruitful
theme fer speculation as to bis individual chances.
" Those who cannot fairly count upon being caught
MP into the New Jerusalem viii have tho satis~
faction Of knowing that they will be disposed Of
"a la mode; cremation will be very fashionable.
Tho destruction comes just in the nick Of timo to
>saye careful houEekeepers from the annual bur
den Of house-cleaning which they take upon
themselves about this season and the husbands
Who have to endure the domestic torture incident
to this aunud revelation will lock forward to the
! general dissolption OF tomorrow night a. pos
sibls improvement upon the ills they would
| otherwise have suffered The people who have
been house-ronting will likewise congratulate
| themselves On rhe sudden and unexpected relief.
There was nothing less than the destruction OF the
world that could have saved then, the trouble Of
moving and re doubt whether they would rather
bear the ills they have than ty to others they
know not OF. Altogether, then, it the world has
got to be destroyed. there could bo no filter tno
than tho preacnt and il the destruction is to be
fire, there is no people more accustomed TO large
CONGREGATIONS than tho Chicago people.
It is little late for the faithfnl, who have not
been forevorned earlier, to take full advantage
or the approaching os5o!utlou. seA oA sAb'S
worldly goods to unbelosers, and enjoy
themselves On the proceeds up to
Monday evening. Perhaps it IL a. well
at this late honr for those who have
not already taken this pretauton to forego
it. We would especially advise Board Of Trade
men not to sell wheat shoxt with the expectation
that there will be no call for 'dehvery; for it
would be just like tho "buyer 10 to demand q
settlement in the lake OF fire. But while the
ti1neis past for taking any advantage Of top
tiona,", there are \ great many compensasions
for tho sudden ''going-up which tie "TIu,ists@
confidently predict. It will strike general bal-
ance- sheet. It will be special blessing to men
who have notes falling due on Tuesday. It will
save good many people from the expense md
modification Of going through bankruptcy. It
will be especially welcome to undiscovered de-
faultera. 1t will be sure cure for rheumatism and
catar1ah, the FIRST ever discovered in this eli
mate. twill equalizs the condition Of ill men
as effectualy as the Communists could deaire.
Il will incontinenuy put An end to tae Third
Term discussion, as the 144,000 saints arc to
govern the world for the next 1000 years. It
will dispose ct the BEEcmR trial. which would
otherwise never hare como 70 an end; and good
ta3ny other people may ASCERTAIN what it is to
bang on the ragged edge and "suner the
tortures Of the damned" # win BE- q special
boon to the unfortunate Judge uho drew the un-
lncly straw that ,eondam,!ed him to preside
