He said:
I Solar eclipse Is here prophestied TO take
blace about the time Of the destruction OF
ancient Jerusalem. Josephus, the historian,
Gays that the prophecy was literally fulfilled
and that abrIt that time there were strange
appearances in the heavens. This sun was
Not destroyed, but for a little while hidden.
, Christianity IS the rising sun Of our time,
end men have tried with the uprolling yapors
Of skeplictsm and the smoke Of their bias
phemy to turn the sun into darkness. Sup
pose the archangeIs Of malice and horror
GbouId let loose a little whilo and be allow"
cd be e~xtinguish and d e,trOy the sun in the
aatural heavens They would take the
oceans from other worlds and pour them on
Ehis luminary OF the planetary system, sud
Che waters 60 kissing down amid the rayincs
and the cavemS and there is explosion after
explosion until there are only a few peaks of
Ore loft in the sun, and these are cooling
down and going out until the vast continents
of flame are reduced to Il small acreage Of
fire, and that whitcns and cooIs Of until
there are only a few Goals left, and these are
whitening and going out until there i not a
shark left in all the mountains Of ashes and
Gho valleys Of ashes and the chasms Of ashes.

OF course, this withdrawal of the solar
flight and heat throws our earth into u uni
versal chill, and the tropics became the tenn
perate, and the temperate becomes the arc
&ic, and there are frozen rivers and frozen
lakes and frozen oceans. From arctic and
antarctic regions the inhabitants gather in
toward the center and find the equator as
the poles. The slain forests are piled up in.
"a a great bonfire, and around them gather
Che shivering villages and cities The wealth
af tke coal mines Is hastily poured into the
furnaces and stirred into rage OF combustion,
bot soon the bonfres begin 10 lower, and the
furnaces begin TO 90 out and the nations be-

boil, Californian geysers, cease 10 smoke,

Ga their crater. All the flowers have breath
cd their last breath. Ships with sailors
frozen az the mast and helmsmen frozen at
Che wheel and passengers frozen in the
cabin all nations diving, first at the north
and then at the south. Child frosted and
rdeadia the cradle. OctOgenarian frosted
and dead at the hearth. Workmen with
frozen hand on the hammer and frozen foot
Oh the shuttle. Winter from sea to sea. ALI
eongealing winter. Perpetual winter.
Globe OF frigidity. Hemisphere shackled TO
hemisphere by chains 81 ice. Universal
Nova Zembla. The earth and ice-fos grind
ting against other ~ice-foes. Tit archangles
of malice and horror have done their work,
and cow they may take their thrones Of
glacier and look down upon the ruin they
have wrought.
What the destruction Of the sun IN the
