"After these days shall dawn the
sad, unhappy time predicted by our
Lord. Men, in terror on the earth,
shall faint for expectation of the
coming events. The father shall be
against the son, and the brother
against the brother. Truth and faith
shall no longer be found After the
nations, singly, have long warred
against each other, after thrones have
crumbled, and Kingdoms been over
thrown, shall the entire South take
arms against the North. (Auster

"They shall meet in the middle of
Germany, destroy towns and villa
ges, after the inhabitants have been
compelled to fly to the hills and
woods. This dreadful contest shall
be decided in Lower Germany. The
armies shall pitch camps, such as the
world has not yet seen. This fearful
engagement shall begin at the Birch
Tree near Bodberg. Woe! woe!
poor Fatherland /! They shall fight
three whole days. Even when COW
cred with wounds, they shall mangle
each other, and wade in blood up to

river, and again fight with the ex-
tremity of despair. But there shall
that power be annihilated, and its
strength broken, so that hardly few

defeat. The inhabitants of the allied
places shall mourn, but the Lord
shall comfort them, and they shall
say, 1t is the Lords doing"
A seer, named Kappleman, living
near Werl, prophecied in 1919, as
follows, before whole company:
"The times are vet good, but they
shall change much. After many
years frightful war shall break out.
The signs shall be: When in spring
the cowslips appear early in the
hedges, and disturbances prevail
everywhere; in that year the explo-
sion does not take place. But when
after short winter, the cowslips
bloom very early, and all appears
quiet, let no man believe in peace.
"When great wisps of straw stand
on the BarenWiese BEARS meadow, y
then shall the break Out,O
