The End Of the World Near.

Rev. Musselman, pastor of the Mem
monte Brethren in Christ, preached
sermon in Faith Chapel, at Reading Pa,
OH Sunday last, in which he referred to
the earthquakes and impending wars
and gave it as his opinion that there are
plenty Of signs to show that the time is
very near when the Saviour will come
In all His glory, and tie dead shall
arise and the living saints Oh the earth,
together with those who died in the
Lord, shall meet the Saviour in the air.
Those who are living shall be changed
in the twinkling of an eye. Some peo-
pie believe there will be millennium
before the coming of the Lord, but he
could show by scripture that the Lord
would come first. He said that the poo
pie are getting worse and worse, and it
was about time for the Lord to come.
The devil is sending out more mission
aries than the churches. Only $5,OOO,-
900 are collected for missions, while
5000, 900, 900 are spent for whisky, and
5000, 900 900 for tobacco. At the same
time only $3.50. 900, 900 are paid for bread
and s3O3, 200, 900 for meat. Marriage is
divine ordinance aud yet the numer-
divorces show that it ia not regarded as
such. They marry and ale divorced
and marry again. 1t is no more for
some people to marry than to take
dinner.
The numerous earthquakes show that
we are living in the last Gays. There
were only IS earthquakes before Christ
appeared, and only four of these proved
disastrous. During the 900 years after
Christ there were 1872 earthquakes, Is
OF which were disastrous when cities
were destroyed. During the next 600
years there were 532 earthquakes, Al of
which we're disastrous. During the
last so years there were 1904 earth
quakes. We have 400 burning noun
tains and 1000 volcanoes, and the world
is as rotten as the people.

The Hon. Frank Lawyer seems to
amuse the President very much when
he calls at the White House. and Cleve-
land is always glad to see the Chicago
Congressman. On Saturday, after In
PRODUCING the base ball nine. he asked
the President If it was 30, that he had
originated a puzzle. The President
looked at him as IL greatly astonished ut
the question, and then the Hon. Frank
explained that he had been shown a
puzzle which every one was calling
"The Cleveland Puzzle"
at is a little more emphatic In LAM
guage than you usually use" explained
Mr.. Lawyer; "but, then, office seekers
are mighty peculiar people, aud | would
not wonder at you using any kind Of
language to some OF them"
"What i, the puzzle?" asked the
President, who had grown interested.
.Give me piece of paper and PEN
ell and / will show you,'' replied the
Hon. Frank.
The two sat down at the desk. and
Mr.. Lawyer put down eleven ciphers on
on the paper, as follows:
5000 600 90 90
The President looked at them and
said: "Well, l don't see anything
strange about that"
"No, not as they stand now" said the
Chicago Congressman. ''But, walt and
see." Then he took up the pencil again
and said:
mark a straight line down from the
low right hand corner of the first ci-
pher; that changes it to G. Then mark
a straight line from the upper hand
corner of the fourth cipher, and that
makes it d. Then put another similar
straight line down on the fifth cipher
and make it also; a straight line upon
the seventh cipher makes it D. Then
another straight line upon the eighth
cipher to it will be D also, and a straight
line down on the tenth and that will
make il G, and there you have a SEN
tence, and one, it is said, you use on the
office seekers"
The President looked at the puzzle as
altered, and read;
"GOOD GOD, DO CO."
He looked at the Hon. Frank min
ute, and finally said, "Well, I'll say it
to you" The Chicago Congressman
has been very busy showing the Cleve-
land puzzle all around to-day.-BaAi-

instruction upon "Our Country-Its Perils
and Safeguards. In a most vivid way the
speaker presented the difficulties of evan
gelizing our country because of the great
extent of territory, the large Western States
being empires in themselves, and the fast in
creasing population, doubling every year.
The rapidly increasing foreign population
is one of the great hindrances. The evils
which face our country from this population
are four-ignoranCe, Romanism, infdelity
and Mormonism-all of them attacking our
free Institutions Mormonism is not dead.

and correctly presented in the principles of

brief portrayal of the exact method of
organizing churches and extending the Cos
pei in the new regions of the West.
