The Appeal. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. ;) 1889-19??, 1890-10-18

An APPEAL reporter Gale l upon Rev.
G.. w. Flowers at 81 Walnut street, and
found the Professor at home with
large family Bible in his hands. Mr..
Flowers is fat black man with gen.
eral look of contentment on his face in
dicative of good living. A short CONVEX
sation with him revealed the following
facts: ST.. .-
LIST. He claims that the Colored race
are the fallen tribes of Israel, the four
tribes of Benjamin Judah, Naphtali and
Zebulun. 10 prove that he quoted the
follwing passages of Scripture.
Psalms SO, q; 1l9, s3. Deut. %, 6S;
80, "a, rs and 26. Job 81, 80. Song SOL
ONION l, and 6. Isiah IS chap. 66, 10
verse to end. 10 chap. 20 chap 4, S7th
Psalms. Jer. 8, 81; Is, 22-27; IA, 2, Is
chap. Zeph. 3, 10 to end. Sam. 4, and
S;5, 10.
End. He claims that he is the rider
of the white borse predicted by st. John
to make this plain to the people. Zech.
6, IL; Rev. 9th chap.
3rd. He claims that after the worlds
fair there will be worlds war in which
all the natious of the earth will struggle
for supremacy. After this war wide
spread and devastating ia mine will bring
destruction upon the unrighteous.
Death and He'll will follow close upon
pale horse shifting all but the RICH teous
people who believe as Bro. Flowers does
All this was proved by scripture refer
ence which space forbids our repeating.
He also modestly prophesies that the
Northern countries shall become burnt
up like Sahara under the influence of
sun heat>d billion times more than it
is. He says that an angel will touch the
sun and kindle SO fierce heat that all
the ice in the polar regions will melt
producing a torrent which will sweep
away all the great cities of the North.
The earth will turn over, the poles will
become the equator and the equator the
poles. Africa will have nice cool tenn
perature and the Colored people will re-
turn there and rebuild it to it's former
greatness. They in course of years will
turn few shades lighter while the white
races of the European countries and
America will be burnt black like the
Negro race now is.
After awhile the white race shall be
80 reduced that they will be brought
over TO Africa, bought and sold by COL
ored people like the Negroes were
bought and sold by them. The Rev.
does not state when this will be but saws
it is certain to come sometime A. D.
The pastor of the Fourth Baptist church
said to him in conversation with him:
"Mr. Flowers, believe that the white
horse is the gospel and the only rilor is
Christ who will not get off for you or
anybody eIse." Yes sab" said Bro.
Flowers, 'is you preacher, sah?''
Eyes, ;" said the white preacher. ''And
you think that the white boss am the
gospel?'' Yes" ''Well, you mnst be
q riding OF the white boss too ain t you?''
This silenced the white man and the
professor went on his way rejoicing.
Jackets are the garments now in de-
mand. b
Very little trimming is used on cloth
dresses.
In an Episcopal church near Boston
the other Sunday lady in passing up
the aisle caught her dress on q corner Of
pew and tore it. As the process Of tear
ing was very audible to the congregation
the feelings Of the lady may be imagined
when at that moment the clergyman be-
gan the service BY reading the sentence,
"Rend your heart and not your gar
ments."
