prediction of the Rev. Beverly
! ., Kinnear, q revivalist, who i:
now preaching in the Bible
House. He says the millennium
is due to arrive here SeptembeI
1901.
"Do not say that l preach the
end of the world" says he; that
only makes people laugh.
preach the end of the age. Af.
ter that we shall all be taken of
this continent and transported to
another, if we are believers. If
unbelievers, we shall be killed.
The time for this is now close at
hand. l quote a few, very few,
if any authorities.
"Sir Richard Proctor says: In
about I807-9S the heat of the
sun will. be SO enormously in>
creased by the impact Of a comet
as to destroy life upon this earth,
Sir. J. w. Dawson wrote: Il an.
ticipate the destruction of the
present state Of things on the
earth by confagration from the
teachings of science
"Dr. Frank NJ. Close, Of Oak
land, Cal, eX-president of the
Tacoma Academy of Science,
writes: The late seismic dis
turbance' which extended over
the Middle and Southeastern
States, was one of the prelim,
mary throes of a great cat
aclysm.'
"These undoubted authorities
show that the time is near at
hand. We know that the end
of the age is within this genera
ton, due whether the present
generation began i'll 1870 or in
1871 we do not know. That is
where chronology is liable to
err. 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 comes? 1t will
be carried over to England. Nc,
Kinley is to be the last Presi,
dent of the United States. Be
fore the end of his term there
will be a terrible European war
Nations are building warships
and getting ready for it. More
have been built in the past year
than in the worlds entire pre-
vious history.
ut is not certain how the end
of the world will come" contin-
ued DR.. kinnear. THAT is not
revealed as vet. If He decends
to earth He will gather the
faithful together and establish a
kingdom i'll Jerusalem, and there
rule His people with a rod OF
iron,' as the Scriptures say. II
He decides to take us all up to
heaven, He will do so and leave
the others here. Either way it
will be the millennium.
"The climate of the earth will
not be severe, either from excess
sive cold or heat. Violent storms
either on land or sea, will be
unknown, and the whole aspect
of creation will be more beauti-
full. The animal world will nc
longer have ferocious beasts, or
any creature to harm man or
woman.
"What will become Of Wall
street? That l can positively
answer. Wall street, three years
from now, will be in Jerusalem.
But its work will be over. It's
usefulness will have been &C
complished.
"And our politicians? The
bad ones will be cast into outer
darkness and the good ones
transported to Jerusalem, where
they can fix for thousand years
in the delights Of the perfect
reign of Christ, the millennium
Their mission then will be to
follow Christ forever and for
ever.
"Now, when it comes to locat

must beg off a little. 1 used 10
believe in chronology, and all
signs say that the world will
come to an end March 2o 1899
