1t is certainly more than curious to note
how all the predictions settle on the year
1899 with unwearying persistency. The

traordinary book, had worked ii all out
in plain figures. No one. of course. is
ignorant Of the calculation OF the seventy
weeks in which the prophet Daniel pre-
cised the appearance Of the Messiah.
These seventy weeks have always been
interpreted as weeks OF years. the 40
years that actually separated the decree
OF Artaxerxes and the crucifixion. When
Daniel prefigured the duration OF Islam
by "one time, two times and the half
of time" Holzauzer, faithful to this
calculation. saw that the days ought 10
be replaced by years and that lone time
would, therefore. mean $50 years. Now 365

With his cabbalistic calculations the ven

very year OF the nineteenth century In
which he must be born. Taking the last
verse OF the thirteenth chapter OF the
Revelation for guide:
Here is wisdom. Let him that hath
