NOAH RElNCARNATE
He Is Building His Ark, And Says All
Men Are Fools.

Men Are Fools.
A new Noah has arisen in the land
Milton Stewart, says New Haver
dispatch in the Minneapolis Tribune
believes the Almighty is on the poin,
of wreakipR vengeance upon the I'M
| godly of this land.
he is building an ark on the top OF
West Rock, big hill near this city,
five miles from water, and he says he
Is willing to take aboard all who have
faith when the Almighty floods the
Ian d, which he predicts will be the for N
OF devastation which will visit the
| United States.
| Milton Stewart Is undoubtedly a
| sheless his theory is an interesting
one Here is what he says about it,:
81 believe that the wickedness which
has made the United States degenerate
morally will assuredly be punished. 1
am positive that the Almighty will
roll the wsters of the Atlantic and the
Pacific upon the broad country and
that every acre OF land Will be COM
pie tely Inundated.
Even the highest peaks of the Roc
ky mountains will go under ways and
the flood will last for many days. 1
cannot say how many, but | do not
think ii will be as long as the first flood
was in the day of Noah.
81 have been sure of this ever since
last summer, when ] had q dream, In
which Christ appeared to me In a vision
would be wiped out by flood and that
only q few of the purest-mined people
would be saved.
"He commanded me to build q large
boat capable of accommodating 20 peo-
pie, and said that others of the faithful
over the land would be instructed to do
the same, so that there would be some
people saved from the flood to repopu-
late the land.
$50 am building my boat. 1 do
not expect the flood until next summer,
1t. The boat will be rather email
quarters for a score of people,, with
provisions to keep them alive during
the flood, but we shsll take with us
only condensed meats and food suffi-
Client toslast the necessary 10 days.
"When the waters subside 1 am cure
that we shall be provided for by the
same power which will cave US from
the fate in store for all the ungodly OF
Come cticut and the country.
my boat will be plain sloop yacht,
45 feet long, with one mast and sail,
aud IL will have small cabin. 1 am
building it like any other yacht. l
thought first OF shaping it like Noah's
ark, but concluded that modern form
would be more convenient. 1t can be
handled better and easier.
81 have told all my friends in TIE |
neig hborhood of the coming flood. |
When they asked me what l intended |
20 do with a boat five miles from Long |
Islane Sound and 1 explained my mis-
sion to them, they have laughed at
ne.
They do rot believe that the ,oce an
ill flood the earth. But take my
5 ord for It, those whom the Lord intends
o save will be near me ana the boat
When the wsters rise, and the Lord
will direct them to get on board my .
.rk.
Il think the deluge will come next
ummer, In the dryest part of the sea-
On, when crops will have been ell 4
Tried up and the whole land fears a
lard winter. The dry season next
nmmer will be the worst IN 80 years
nd all kinds of vegets bles will be
;illed by the suns rays. ;
"Then the deluge will come. and in
he 10 days that the land Is under
Fater the vegetation will blossom out {
new and the ark in which we have
zen saved will settle down upon fertile
and. almost depopulRted, it is true, {
ut one which we and our generations
fterwards will In time repopulate.
)ur cities will be washed away by the
nightly rush of waters and only ruins :
sft where once proud cities stood.'' !
