The cold lasted the charitable people re-

There is one family in which one of

British Scientist Had End of World Set
for Easter.


for Easter.
r. Jay Greene is the possessor
of booklet published in 1892
under the distinguished author
ship Of j. b. Dimbleby, Premier
Chronologist to the British
Chronological and Astronomical
Association of London.
This author has fixed upon
Easter, 1898, as the end OF
time or OF the world, the resur-
rection of the just, and the com
ing of the Lord Jesus Christ. He
says as a conclusion of the
treatise:
Il feel absolutely certain that
all this will take place at Easter
1898, 80 certain that my belief
about it is like my expecting that
at the point of noon tomorrow
the clock will strike twelve, be-
cause L have heard it do so many
times"
Easter being past, this pro-
phecy may be taken as an in
stance of science, not religion
going wrong, for Prof. Dimbleby
is an acknowledged scientist.
