Rev. DR.. Joseph Wild, pastor Of
tho Elm Place Congregational
Church of Brooklyn, has been
preaching sermons Sunday nights
for several weeks past to show that
the war just over in Europe and tho
war to como, in which England is to
trounce Russia and drive tho Turk
into Asia, are tho working out of
Old Testament prophecies, and that
the end is to be the finding of tho
Ark of the Covenant and the lost
standards which were hidden by
Jeremiah, and the triumph and
glory OF the children OF Israel,
Gods chosen people. DR.. Wild
has the reputation of being scholar
and declares that no has spent
fifteen years in studying Hebrew,
Greek and Irish history bearing
upon this matter. His church Sun
day night was crowded with listens
ers, who applaudcd loudly upon
occasion, after the manner Of Mr..
Talmage's congregation. The
preacher, in regard of personal
appearance and occasionally of man.
ner, resembles, not to say it dis
respectfully, u camp mceting orator
of the most approved cut. He
wear his hair long and sleekly
brushed, and an inordinate and not
very plcasant-looking beard be-
meath shaven upper lip. Ills
audience gigglea right out last
night when he declared that st.
Patrick was the prophet Je. ;miah,
and harder still when lie turned on
the light and cried "Jcremiah,
the saint of the Patriarchs, saintcd
Putriarch-St. Patrick ! What do
you think of that 2"
The preacher took his text from
Isaiah xii, 4 and 5: "Who hath
wrought and done it, calling the
generations from the beginning I?
I, the Lord, the first, and with the
last ; I am he. The isles saw it,
and feared the ends of the earth
were afraid, drew near, and came"
"Iho true key to the Bible, four
fifths of which speaks of Israel, and
to history past, present and future" :"
said the lecturer, ''is found when we
learn that Israel is to be transplant-
ed, to be q company Of nations no
more to move, but that in the reset .
Element Of Palestine tho children Of
Israel arc to be there only by repre-
sentativcs. Il will take you ono of
q city and two Of u family and I will
bring you to Zion is written in
Jeremiahiii., ID. The Jews were never
to be planted excoptingin Palestine.
Jeremiah says further: who are
these that fly as q cloud and as
doves to their windows Surely
the isles shall wait for mo and tho
ships of Tarshish first Again to
the island he will repay rocompcnse;
so that they fear the namc Of tho
Lord from the West. " TO prove
that the isles of the West referred to
are Ireland and the adjacent islands,
the lecturer gave q history Of it's sot
Element, gathered from tho most
trustworthy sources that he could
command. "It was originally known
as Scuites Land, the Island of Wan~
dercrs, Scotia Major, Scotland
being known rs Scotin Minor.
England was known to the writer's
of Palestine as Tarshish, Dannoii
(the children of Dan) and Barac
Anac. In the Hebrew, Ireland was
known as Var in Enron, the Land in
the West or Setting Sun. Hiborna
is Hebrew word only slightly
modified. Irish tradition points to
the conclusion and twenty-t three
historians accept as o fact that
there were two settlements of Irc-
land-frst, by the Ph~nicians, and
second. by Tuath dc Dannan or tho
children of Dan. Pinnock formu-
lates these legends into catechism.
"He says The Irish have over
been singularly jealous in asserting
their Scythian origin, and describe
the adventures of their ancestors
from the neighborhood Of the Cas-
plan Sea to Egypt; thence to Spain,
whence they proceeded to Ireland.
