DR.. Joseph Jenckes, who was formerly
pastor of St. Paurs Church, claims that
Coxey did not organize his industrial army
Of his own free will. but is simply an in
strument in the hands OF God to carry out
the provisions Of the divine law.
1.-THE fufillment of the prophecies which
l made in st. PauHs years ago are coming

realize the truth Of our predictions they
will begin 10 see Alright. We have all
along contended that the immediate future
has in store unrest revolutions and stygian
blackness in every branch Of earthly ex-
istence, social, political and industrial.
Aren't our predictions coming true2 Take,
for instance, the many scandals such as
the Notwithstanding trial Doesn't
that show that there's vortex of scandal

DR. Jenckes called the reporters atten-
ton 20 the fact that an Austrian savant
named Talb. has recently fixed upon Nov
H. 1883 as the date for the second coming
OF the Messiah. Professor Totten, years
ago, decided that the Savior's advent would
happen on March %. 1899, and the Doctor
has written a letter 10 the latter compli-
mentng both upon the seeming re-
markable prescience which led them TO
