dent-The world WIN Not End-But
There VIII BE n Wonderful Change.
Fixes the. Date as 1901.
In the Bible House, New York city,
there is preaching now a man who speaks
like an Englishman, and whose name Is
Beverly o. Kinnear. The subject Of his
talks Is the end Of the world, and, unlike
most alarmists, his audience consists of a
large number of both the faithful and the
unfaitbful of the best classes in tho city.
They are attracted to him because of his
earnestness and the convincing truths of
many Of his utterances. These are of the
sort that you "can't get away FROM"
though mixed with some not quite so con-
vincing. His plan is TO go from one city
TO another preaching without money and
without price. He wants to point out to
people the fulallment Of all the prophecies,
at the close Of which the millennium would
come. Unlike Moody, he does not take up
a collection. After the meetings DR.. Kin
near answers questions.
"Do not say that 1 preach the end Of the
world, " said he. "That only makes people
laugh. I preach the end of the age. Aft
er that we shall all be taken off this CONT
nent and transported to another, if we are
believers. If unbelievers, we shall be kill
ed. The time for this is now close at hand.
I quote a few, a very few, if any, authori-
ties.
"Sir Richard Proctor says, In about
1918 the heat Of the sun will be so nor
mously increased by the impact Of a comet
as to destroy life upon this earth
"Sir j. W. Dawson wrote, L anticipate
the destruction Of the present state of
things on the earth by conflagration from
the teachings Of science
"Moody declares: THE church is cold
and formal. May God wake us upi And
1 know of no better way to do it than to
get the church to looking for the return of
our Lord
CDR. Frank M. Close Of Oakland, Cal,
ex-president Of the Tacoma Academy of
Science, writes: The late seismic disturb
ance which extended over the middle and
southeastern states vas n of the prelim-
mary throes of a great cataclysm.'
"These undoubted authorities show that
the time is near at hand. We know that
the end of the age is within this genera
ton, but whether the present generation
began in 1870 or in 1871 we do not know.

But the time is near, and we must be
Watching for it.
"What will become of the present United
States when the end of the world comes9
1t will be carried over to England. Nc
Kinley is to be the last president of the
United States. Before the end of his term
there will be a terrible European war. Ma
tions are building warships and getting
ready for 1t. More have been built within
the past year chan in the worlds entire
previous history. This war occurs within
the next three years. In it comes the end
of the age.
cit is not certain how the end of the
world will come. He may descend to the
earth or he may take the faithful up to
heaven. That is not revealed as yet. If
he descends to earth, he will gather the
faithful together and establish a kingdom
in Jerusalem, and there rule his people
with a rod Of iron, as the Scriptures say.
If he decides TO take us all up to heaven,
he viii do so and leave the others here.
Either way 1t will be the millennium.
"What is the millennium The millen-
mum is the reign of the saints Of God over
the nations. Much might be written on
the joy of persons who will live during the
millennium, arising from the improved

from excessive cold or heat. Violent storms
eithero land or sea will be unknown, and
the whole aspect of creation will be more
beautiful. The animal world win no lon

"What will become of Wall street? That
1 can positively answer. Wall street three
years from now will be in Jerusalem. But
its work will be over. Its usefulness will
have been accomplished. Wall street is
not a bad institution, and it will be saved
if the men individually are all right.
"And our pol%iticians2 Now you get
right down into personalities. I could
pick ont 20 good politicians and 20 bad
ones. The bad ones win be cast into outer
darkness and the good ones transported to
Jerusalem, wE.re they can mix for a thou

reign of Christ, the millennium. Their
mission then will be to follow Christ for

March 20, 1899. But it may be September,
1901. That is my present belief. There is
only a little difference. One is surely right.
And the time is very near.
Among the guides to a perfect Christi
anity approved by DR.. Kinnear while
waiting for the millennium are these
simple suggestions:
"a sure cure for scolding and tattlingi
Keep your mouth shut and breathe through
your nose"
"The devil has the name of being the
meanest, but it does seem as though some
men are trying to break his record"
eyes, you are quite good looking, but
your conduct spells your beauty"
"'Io know all you tell is better than to
tell all you know"
BLESSED is he who employees all his time
p%rOitably and is silent on subjects that do
not concern him. Clarence S. Russell in
