A vision of Chicago in Destruction.


Andrew jones, a colored evangelist,
has peered into the future and seen pic
tured the destruction of Chicago and it's
inhabitants.
For week he has been telling his message to
awe stricken crowds at the African Methodist
Episcopalian church, and he will soon carry II Is
prophecies of destruction to i'll doors to other
evil-racked communities. Fcur months before
the Charleston earthquake he saw vision OF
that city in ruins. Then he "catled the turn"
on the Johnstown food a Id great disaster in
Reading, Pa, where many persons were killed
during wind storm. During his sojourn In
Chicago the prophet has boon youchsafed ter
rifying vision of Chicago's future.
ut came to me like fash Of lightning said
tie prophet II saw the city of Chicago and
all its tall buildings AMI fine residence streets.
and while I was looking the buildings began to
tumble down and great yawning holes appeared
in the streets and the people shfieked and ran
this way and that way, and finally they were
swallowed up and disappeared. 1t was a ter
rible thing, and so l am telling the people about
my vision, for l know it will come true, and
am warn ing them all to repent and save them
selves from destruction. Tho repentance of all
the people would prevent the destruction OF the
city, for the destruction Is threatened as q
penalty for sin"
