The old Lutheran Church on Mission
street, between Fifth and Sixth, has been
closed for many months. Its cOngrega-
ton found another abiding plac and left
it in the hands of Time to do with it as he
would. The sinful children no dwell IN
the neighb0rhood have broken Its painted
windows and the spider has woven her
web over Luther's famous text, Zine feste
Burg ist Unser Gott," emblaz oned above
the pulpit.
But new era has opened in the history
OF the old church and from its long silent
pulpit new and strange doctrine is to
be preached. j. Il. Allen, eyangelis t, has
come to the city, whence it matters not,
and with the financial assistance OF some
modest friends has leased the building In
order that he may preach 70 the multitude
and tell them of his marvellous discoveries.
Allen declares that the lost tribes OF the
House Of Israel have been found and be-
lieves that he is dvinely commissioned to
bring Jew and Gentjle-the Gentil6s are
the lost tribeS-tOgetheT.
lie held meeting in the church Sester-
day which was attended by about 100 peO-
pie, among whom were several Salvation
ISIS. They found ia the evangelical dis
coverer middle-aged man beardless and
properly appareled in black. lie spoke
in high voice and in his manner departed
from the conventional path OF the
preacher. In the course or his address he
announced that his mission was to show
how the prophecies Of the Bible are full
filled and to bring Jew and GENTLE to-
gether.
The prophecies of God" he declared,
''are fast being fulfilled. God said that
there would be famine in the laud and
there is famine, not famine OF bread
ana water, but a famine OF hearing the
word. The people are partly to blame and
the pulpit is partly to blame. One reason
for this famine is that there is disposi-
ton TO spiritualiZe and mys,ify the mean
Ing OF the Bible. Thsre has been an idea
that there is mystic mysterious
something about the Bible of God that the
people could not understand, and they
have been told not TO try TO Dry into things
TOO deep for them. l am satisfied that
there is no book more explicit than the
Bible, and with this Bible in my hand
am going to prove that the Saxon race is
composed OF the lost tribes of Israel. The
Americans are the lost tribe OF Man aSseh.
l will prove that Denmark is peopled by
the tribe of Dan and that Queen Victoria
is descendant of King David" 'Eyange-
list Allen said that he would produce his
proofs during a series of lectures which he
will deliver in the church this week. BE
is very anxious to have the Hebrews of
the city hear him and will send them the
following:
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, Aug. Is. 1894.
Dear Brothers Of the House Of Judah: In
the books OF Moses and the Prophets there
IS promised glorious future for the house OF
Judah and the house of Israel.
MESSIAH IS COMING.
The gfeat day OF Jezreel is ahead. The chill
dren Of judah and the children of Israel are to
be gathered together.
IL VIII make them one nation In tie land
upon the mountains OF Israel, and one king
shall be king to them all, and they shall be no
more two nations, neither shall they be divided
into two Kingdoms any more at all."-EzekieI
Before these things can take place the ten
lost tubes must be found ana other prophecies
fulfilled.
Dear brothers, 1t is my blessed God-given
privilege to say 10 you that the
TEN LOST TRIBES ARE FOUND,
And that can prove il Ia you beyond the posi-
billy OF doubt. Also that other prophecies are
being fulfilled that prove TO us that Jehovah ia
soon To set bis hand the second time to re-
cover his peoule."--tisaiah xl:ii.) And that
MESSIAH is COMING SOON.
In order That these and kindred truths be set
forth 10 all OF the Jewish people who are Will
ing 10 her them, series OF lectures Will be-
given at St Iaul German Lutheran Church on
Mission street. between Fifth and Sixth south
side, commencing Monday evening at O'clock
May Jehovah God stir your hearts 10 come
Your brother OF the house of Israel i'm The
hope of our coming king. j. II. ALLEN.
The evangelist just before the meeting
closed prayed earnestly for the success of
the movement, and asked his hearers TO
pray daily for the Hebrews. Some bless
lngs, he said, are procured by fasting,
and when he asked how many of his hear
ers would fast for several hOurs~tO-day in
order that the Jews might come TO the
meeting tonight half the congregation
stood I'D and promised.
