A SIGN FROM HEAVEN
ADvENTlSTS IN TACOMA EXCITED
OVER A PHENOMENON.


Moon-she Thinks the Millennium Is at
Hand-Believes It to BE In Answer to
Prayer.
The Adventists Of Tacoma are greatly
excited over rainbow around the moon,
which was clearly observed by dozen
Of them ON a recent night after o'clock
The rainbow was first observed by
Mrs Carrie Grinnell, an earnest Chris
tian woman go years Of age. She scream
ed when she saw it and called her son.
He screamed ALSO They awakened a
dozen neighbors, most of them being of
Mrs Grinnell's faith. All these have
tried in vain to find person who ever
witnessed the phenomenon before
They declare it was wholly different
from the halo around the moon, which
indicates an approaching storm The
seven colors were distinctly visible. The
rainbow was Of the usual width, and the
distance between it and the moon seemed
about twice the width of the rainbow.
The strangest part Of the matter is
that Mrs Grinnell believes the rainbow
to have been q certain sign that the Sec
ond coming Of Christ is near at hand.
-Four years ago, while in the east, Mrs.
Grinnell became acquainted with some
Adventists. She became versed in their
beliefs and since then has studied the
Scriptures diligently. The result has
been deep conviction that the coming
of Christ is near at hand
Her son vigorously objected to her
making known her views, believing they
would cause other people uneasiness.
For some time past, partly in conse-
quence of this, Mrs. Grinnell has been
praying for sign in the moon that her
belief was true.
That evening she had retired early and
prayed with unusual earnestness for such
a sign. Near her bed is window.
Looking out shortly after her prayer,
Mrs. Grinnel beheld the rainbow. A
shout voiced her surprise. She called her
son, and together they called the neigh
bors. Mrs. Grinnen believes that her
prayer was answered.
She and many other women who live
near her are diligently reading "The
Flying Roll" series of sermons by one
James Jezreel, which purports to have
been written at Jerusalem in 1879.
|'The Flying Roll" claims to be "God IS
last message to man" It consists of the
writer's Interpretation Of the Scriptures,
and particularly those passages which

 January is represented by Aquarius, the waterman, sprinlxling with his urn a wreath C. snowdrops, the symbol of purity. February's wreath of prim- roses surrounds the fishes.
