claims Himself as Above.
A gentleman apparently so years DID,
with an iron-gray beard, wearing highly
polished silk hat and smile of atfability,
yesterday called at the GLOBE Office, and
after introducing himself as the Christ of
Revelation, requested the publication of
the following official pronunciamento, to
which space is cheerfully given:
THE DOCUMENT.
To THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES:
Citizen Samuel n. Ewing, of the state of Min
nesota, one of the United States presents
himself to the world as the Christ of Bevela-
toe, ready to show that the Bible is not in
spired in toto; that the first chapters of Gen.
esiS and Mathew are false upon their face:
tnat original or thereafter inherent sin, with
its accompaniment of hell and devil, never
did nor does exist: that Jesus Christ was net
the son of God; that the Holy Ghost is myth
cal; that in the fear of God, to whom alore
the people should bow according to the die
tates of each individual conception of God,
the ruler of the universe, Citizen Ewing re-
quests the United States government to re-
quest the governments of the world and Dig
nitaries of the various churches, religious
societies or ecclesiastical bodies, including
hts holiness the pope of Rome and the digni-
taries OF the Jewish church, to meet n Wash
ington city on the LIST day of October, 1886, to
consider the practicability of returning to the
worship of one God, the ruler of the universe
at the earliest practicable moment.
SAMUEL N. EWING.
Washington City, March 2, 1856.
To the World-Samuel N. Ewing, as the
Christ of Revelation, proclaims to the world
that the Bible is closed. Henceforth the
principles of the United States constitution
prevail. SAMUEL N. EWING.
Minneapolis, Mimi, April IL, 1879
DOESN'T WANT PUBLICITY.
Irxrft,
Their particulars as to his wonderful discoy-
cry, but declined further than to saw that
he was ready and willing to discuss any
theological question. The religious editor
being absent, the police reporter, who hap
pened to be alone in the Office, thought him
self inadequate to tackle so weighty a SUBJ
ject as the authenticity of the Bible. The
visitor modestly stated that he did not care
to court publicity at present. and declined
to give any autobiography further than to
say that he came to Minnesota in 1868, and
for five years past has been engaged in the
business of letting boats for hire on the
south side of Lake Calhoun.
''Really, you fiatter me-" said Mr.. Ewing
sin asking for full particulars of my history
j know that shall be obliged to make it pub
lie"
SOONER OR LATER,
but do not wish to attract any more attention
than possible. Already the Republicans have
offered to nominate me for the presidency OF
the United States and governorship of Mime
sofa, and the Democrats will concur. Other
wise l should refuse, because would dislike
any unseemly election wrangle. When 1 an
president shall put stop to the practice
INDUCED in by sectarians of sending millions
of dollars to the heather of the old world
When this money is retained at home and
given to the poor it will lift them from
poverty, make them consumers increase
business and manufacturing, and bring about
general prosperity. / do not care to say any
thing further, only that at the meeting of the
Presbyterian alliance all will be revealed
And with this the Christ of Revelation
bowed himself out.
