THE SEVEN SEALS

of all OF US is seal ID scroll, a,d am elad
that no ons bat Christ can cpan IL. Do
not let "a Jin that class OF Christians in
our Gay who are trying 10 b.esk tbe seven
seals Of the future. They ar. irving 10
peep int, things they have no tu,iosss
with. Iney try to fOrtell what is going to
come to them and what ia so;pg TO come
on ths earth They know nothing about
1t. Chrl,t is tie OILY one who can break
the seal Of the future Bible
prophecy was net written to help us to tell
things IN the u.ure, but to have ns when
the things actually do come to pass, com
pare thtm with prophecy ana 90 learn
Gods f1reknowledee and the inspiration
OF tie Scriptures. Bat you q, into the
study OF the prophecies in order to find ou.
what is going to happen year finn now
or twenty years from now. or ons thousand
years from row, and I will make pronh.
ecy of my own, and that is thst ytu will
have your brain added, if you DO not pos.
'tiye'y get into a public or private insane
as lum, where the greatest Of expounders
and preachers cf prophecy ended bis life
few years since. and whsre you may resale
the yisltols o! tie institution by ihcc-
heIent mumb!ings over something from
Daniel or Rsve latiops about the
le'pMd which means Gresce, and.
the bear which means Medo. Pc Ella
and the image with the great toes. What
a mental wreck did the persistent attemp.
to forstall events make of that mira :,e OF

THE DEMENrED VICTIMS
Of tie improper use of the Prophecies Of
DAME! and Rsvtlition. What. are no.
those books to be stuGisa? Yes? MOZART
of the Bible is m5re important. Neither
is thsre any more importsn. shelf in the
aptthecary's store than the shelf On which
are ths baIlidonna AMI the morphine, but
bs more careful in using them than in the
u'e o! peppermint and gineer, Keep your
hands of the seven seals. Christ will break
them soon enough. Don't 20 to some
necr1mancer or spirit1slist or soothsayel
or forture taller to fiad out what is going
to haIpsn to yourself, or your family, or
your friends. Wait till Chris breaks the
seal to find out whether ia your own per-
sonsl life or the lie of the nation or the life
Of the world it is going to be the white
tOrSe of prosperity CT the red horse of war
or the blsck tO1e of famine. You will
soo1 enough ee him paw and teir him
neigh Take ta'e of the pres eat and the
future will take care OF it elf. If man
live seventy years, his biography is in 3
strJll hsvirg at leest seven scales; ard
let bin not during the first ten yelrs OF
his life try to look in the twenties, nor the
twenties into the fifties. nor tie forties in.
t) the sixties, nor the si1 tie, into the seven
ties F.On the way the years have got the
hibit OF racing along, / guess you will
not have got the habit while bt fore oil

would not give two teats to know how
lori & am going to live, or in what
day of what year the world
is going to be demolished. l
would rather give q thousand dollars not
to know. Suppose some one Coold break
the next sal in the scroll Of your per ooal
history, and should tell you that Oh the
i.h Of Jolly, 1890, you were 10 die, tie
san;msr after the rtXs; low much would
yO2 be good for b,tween this and that
Ii would from now until then be
y GhOl.UNGED tINtkAL'
Ycu would he cour ting the months and
the days, snd your family and friends
would lie counting them; and next 4th of
July yen would rub Joar hands together
and whine Ore year from tG-3sy am
TO 20. Dsar me. wish no one had told
me 40 long before. wish that pecromancer
bad not broken tie seal of the future"
And meeting some undertaken you would
say: 81 hope you will keep yourself free
FOR an engagement the 4th of July, 1890.
That day you will be needed OF my hous'.
To save time you might as we'll take my
measure now, five fer t. eleven inches" |
am glad that Christ dropped thick veil
over the hour of cur demlse and The hour
of the woili's destruction when he sajd
"Of that day and hour knowth no man;
TO, not ths angels, but my Father only. >
Keep your bands off the seven seals
There is another lightly stven Of the
Bible, W., the seven ihuuders. What
those thunC crs meant we are not told, and
there has been much guessing about them
but they ere to come, we are told, befo. e
the end Of all things, and the world can
not ret alorg without them. Thunder is
the spsech Of lightning. There are evils
IN our world witch must be thundered
down, end which will require at least
seven volleys to prot trste them. We are
all doing nice, delicate, soft-Eanded work
in churches and reformatory institutions
against the evil, of the world, and Ruch I
it amounts to teaspoon dipping ont
the Atlantic Oican, or Clam shell
digging away at mountain, or tack
hammer smiliag The Gibraltar. What Is
needed lie thunderholtJ, and at least , ven
of them. There is the lorg lice Of frsuiu'
lent commercial establishments; every
stone in the foundation, and every brick IN
the wall, aud every nail in the rafter made
out of disboaes'y; skel,t0ns OF poorly
paid sewing girls aims in every beam O.
that establishments; human nerves worked
