PORTLAND. Ore, Dec. 9-Mrs. Geo. H. Williams, Portland's noted faith curist and ligious enthusiast, has fiIl- ished her 49 days fast and resumed eat ing. It was for the purpose of a closer communion with the Lord that Mrs. Williams undertook this fast, and to obtain an addition to those communi- cations she says she has already re- ceiyed from him. She prophecies that the end of the earth is near at hand, to be preceded by rioting and anarchy throughout the universe. Calamity after calamity will befall us; the whole country will be devastated by fires and floods, and there will be terrible de struction of life and property in divers ways.
 The influence of Mrs. Williams teaching has been of wide extent. More than 100 persons of this city have 'sgone through the wilderness, 3 as she calls the 40 days. fast. Parents have re- quired children to fast, and it has been necessary for the courts to order these suffering children to be taken charge of by the Boys and Girls Aid society. Domestic discords has ensued, and suits for divorce as 8 result In several instances male followers have given up lucrative positions, thinking they could better serve the Lord in likeness and prayer. Mrs. Williams last fast was of 70 days duration. She has been twice disappointed by the Lord, and she says if it occurs again she will renounce her faith
