Very well. Now take these figures, add
them together, and see what you get:
1900 years, Dams great period for the
cleansing of the sanctuary.
1890 years, measuring the continuance of
the ''abomination of desOlation."
1885 years the period OF "blessedneSs' to

Coo years, the number of the beast who
is TO go into perditiOn.
365 years, the symbolic age OF EnOch, the
great prophet of the advent.
40 years the number of final completion.
Total, 1855 years
Now remember that before all the catas-
trophies denounced on mankind as the
divine judgments against sin there were
usually periods of waiting before the
Judgment fell, so as to afford Opportunity for
repentance and escape, and these periods
multiplies of 4O as, for example before the
flood, 40 years; before the conquest of
Canaan, 40 years; and before the fall OF
Nineyeh, A. days denounced by the prophet
Jonah. Now add together 100 years of
NOah's warning before the food came, 40
years of lsraers warning before the judg-
ment fell on the guilty CanaaniteS, 81 years

to resurrection. and three years during

Now, to apply these mystic numbers and

in its completeness. Take your age in years,

man life is to close. But the year in
which every human career is to terminate
and every life close must be the final year,
the winding up, the conclusion of all sublu-
nary things, the year OF doom.
A singular confirmation of the calculation
Is to be found in the fact that, according to
an old Jewish tradition, the world was Great
ed in the fall of the year of which the old
trumpets, occurring in October, was supposed
to be the memorial. And il would be natur-
al TO suppose that it would be very approp-
riate for il to close its career on the compile
ton of one of its annual revolutions in other
words, in the fall of the year. And SC this
remarkable calculation plainly indicates.
The three-fourths singularly points out that
fact. Hence, if these conclusions are not err
roneous. we have the startling prophecy be-
fore us that when the earth reaches one of
her great milestones on the highway of time

upon her and she will stop, Let the world
look out for 1899.
