THE WORLDS FINAL CRISIS.
A Series Of Letters to Workingmen,
The Exclusive Nobility Of
Earth.
Sixth Letter.
THE DELUGE.

This is another figure of sacred writ,
in which God stood up thousands of
wears since and spoke to us of present
events, with voice that has echoed
through the sleeping millions of earth
until now, when it thunders to the pres
ent race, Awake, thou that sleepeth :;
call on thy God p' The cup of this figure
is full. The world in its pr esent ad-
ministration is drowned; its executive
form shall close; its hell and torment
wind up forever.
Cause can be explained only by effect,
figure by fact, prophecy by fulillment.
From this chart alone can we reckon
safely, by this compass steer to eternal
shores. Creations birth will crown its
conception the seventh day of rest
Justify the six of chaos; the blaze of
fact immerse its figure; experience in
outcome glorify prophetic vision, and
each with the people join to proclaim,
The hand that made us is divine
We will now scrutinize this figure
closely, and if present events duplicate
its conditions, one is the other, and the
devil must admit it: Science and the
ology both concede a literal reading for
the figure impossible-tha fall of rain
covering the world and drowning it,
never did occur
Noah's food is the present rain of vice
by state and church, whose waters have
deluged the world and covered its high
est mountain peaks with moral death.
These high points are highest Offices of
state and church, that find their best eX-
preston because most like God) in be-
nevolent organization all of which re-
pose to-day in one common death.
"Cry of distress" is the last thing to
which expiring humanity dies. This
cry, lifted to the wall of crucifxion, is
borne on every current, waited on every
breeze and constitutes an Omnlpresence
of sight and sound, to the iron-hearted
devils who riot in the ruin of earth,
with no more response of pity thai
comes from a. milestone in nethermost
hell. They are as dead to every moral
or life sentiment as a petrifed body.
This is self-evident truth to the race that
death has done its work. Added to this
shall, with leave of THE ENQUIRER,
give you before the close of this letter
series, from personal experience (the
strongest testimony ever presented to
any tribunal) recorded fact, to prove the
damning guilt of these bodies was never
exceeded by any time or device of In
>luisition, and that am not writing their
character from general principles or ab-
stract theories, but from deeds of devils
that years ago ploughed through my
head and heart "I speak what | know,
and testify what I've seem"
Noato> represents the people; his
family of eight persons, the virtues that
make his character complete, that was
begotten Of and reared by him, and
thoroughly irrigated by the vicious rain
in which he lived. The world in con-
fict with vice has gained its every vir-
tue Ignorance in conflict with ignor-
.ance gives wisdom hate with hate gives
love- weakness with weakness, power !;
pride with pride, humility treason with
treason, patriotism tyrant with tyrant,
equal rights, and so on through all the
shining ranks of the God-hood. Demons
and hell are the mills of God that grind
our diamonds bright, and human intel
lect declares none but Eternal God
could make the mia or it's grist, or sig
nal to His Son through the boundless
stretch of time, its close in birth divine.
The ark was our ship of state-the
constitution and model of universal gov
ernment. 1t was one hundred and
:wenty years in building-the time from
conception to government birth. This
?eriod is just closing upon us. Every
act of building and material used is
sermon of righteousness preached to the
world and the British lion has roared
his level best at the driving of every
nail. He knew from the sound of each
they were so many in his coffin lid, and
how with claw and tooth and every de-
vice he has tried to pull them out. The
ark was built in three stories, a door on
the side and window on top. How the
ology has beaten its brains out on this
vindow and never got it open. And
hight here little bit of Leadville his
tory comes to me so pertinent, l give it:
