MIX, BAATBh'S PROPHEClkS.
what He Sees in DRnieps Dreams About
tho Beasts.
Chicago Tribune
Among the many clergymcn who took
part in the prophetic conference AZ Far
well Hall last week was the Rev. N. Bax.
ter, He Is a heavy-set Buglishmau, with
bushy gray hair and a tumultuous beard.
He screws an eye-glass into his right eye
when he reads and drops 1t when he talks.
He is not very eloquent speakerand his
thoughts hop along ON frequent stepping
stones of "h'ms" and "ehs" Ho preached
three times yesterday in a little wooden
church on the corner OF Sangamon street
and Washington boulevard. TO tell the
truth more accurately, he did not preach,
but he prophesied. His representations
were all OF a bloody sort, breathing fire
and slaughter. They were based on the
second and seventh chapters OF Daniel,
the daily cablegrams Of the Chicago
Tribune, and twelve pictures that hung on
| the walls. The pictures were large and
lurid. One represented very small boy
pulling the ears OF u very large lion;
another pictured the peculiar
beast of which Daniel spoke, 1t was
red and chubby, aud on top was the little
i horn, curled up as tho with the collie,
while the ten big horns were all huddled
together trying to get out OF the way
This animal was the text Of Mr.. Baxter's
afternoon discourse. After reading the
two chapters IN the scriptures referred to
above, the speaker saidl
NDaniel, you see, had this vision at
night. II he had done as the people in
| England and Scotland dol don't know,
| t.. .t.,Ia a a. IN.
country, but some of you may know-but
II he had done as the people In my coun-
try do and taken great deal OF some
alcoholic beverage before going to bed,
he would have been Supplied, don't you
see, and couldn't have been made the
repository for prophecy. Just think OF
thatl II Daniel had drank too much that
night when would this prophecy be? We
shouldn't know, you see, what Is coming
! next year, or when Christ Is coming.
This should be warning TO us not to
partake OF intoxicating beverages befoie
we 90 to bed. What did Daniel ses?
Four winds were striving upon the great
sea, and out Of IL four beasts came up.
The first was like a lion with wings, and
represented the Babylonish empire.
Here IL is. Mr.. Baxter pointed TO n
sepia lion asleep, on map Alter bit,
Daniel asserts, the lion stood up like n
man; in other words, he bowed down be.
{ fore Jesus Christ. Aud then came up q
heast like bear--the Medo-Persiau
kingdom--and then leopard, that de-
yort ed the bear Tho leopard, OF course,
r was Alexander, and in his turn was over
come by Julins Caesar, the beast with
borns--the ten horns AMI the little horn,
and mouth speaking great things.
! Daniel cid not see ffth beast. Wnyf
Because the fifth beast cidn't come up,
YOU know. But the fourth beast had ten
horDs--think of I'll Each horn meant Il
kingdom, and Christ Is TO overcome them
all. But you say in the old Roman
empire there are now twenty-thrce king
dome; see map. This is true, and as
Christ Is coming within few years the
twenty-three must be reduced TO ten,
War will do that for US easily enJugh; lei
! us never question Daniels yeracity
aThe first kingdom Of the ten VIII be
, England. Ireland and Northero Scotland
VI course will be separated from her, as
/, they were not part Of C@sar's domain
: Daniel and Mr. Gladstone are agreed on
this.
: nFrance, the second kingdom, Will be
7 extended to the Rhine, the old Roman
boundary. This means bitter war, don't
Won see, between France and Germany
Happy ale the Germans who emigrate u
America in these days, for within two
u Years thousands are doomed to death 10
