orcd Preacher.

CIRCLEVILLE. Ohio. Aug. i.-Rev. J.
Allen Niney, colored, pastor of the A.
NJ. 4. Church here. declared in sermon
last night that the temperature OF heaven
is S26 degrees above zero. quoting the
Bible to support his assertion. Here are
some Of the things said by Mr. viney who
may he regarded the successor to the
late Rev Mr.. Jasper. the noted The Sun
Do Move" pulpit orator of Richmond, IA.
The millennium does not begin until
the second coming of Christ He will be
on earth 900 years and will find no op-
position in preaching the gospel. During
this period Satan will be chained in a
bottomless pit.
in fields or in mill. will be caught up
and taken from sight. Your wife may be
sitting at the table with you. or sweeping
a room. or washing. but as quickly as
you could wink she will be gone and
nothing left except her clothes.
When the devil is bound in the bottom
less pit whole host of good workers will
pass over the earth preaching the gospel.
Then Mckinley will be put down, En-
peror William will be ousted, King Ed
ward will be thrown from his throne,
warships will be destroyed, swords ham
mered into plowshares, theatres closed,
and all shows bust up.
when the millennium ends a short sea-
son is to begin. inaugurated by the advent
of Satan and terminated by the judgment
day. This is really the after-glow of the
millennium, because even then the world
will still be at peace. Yet there remain
the good and the evil, or rather the sane
titled and those not justified. All men will
be tempted, but the sons of Ham. who Is
the father of the negroes, will be tempted
first. OF Noahs three sons, Shem. Ham
and Japhet, Ham was the servant by the
heavenly will, and his descendants VIII

Negroes needn't kick about cleaning
spittoons. They'll have to do 1t. But
when Satan tries to drag them into his
works they won't have any use for him
Then he will go to the children of Shem.

dians, and Esquimaux. They have al

ny, and will tell him they don't believe in
chains.
Finally, Satan will tempt the white
men, Japhet's children, who were made to
be the nobility of the earth, to have the
highest things, lands, wealth, ruling
power. sciences. and arts They will
throw down religion, fight and wage
wars. Fire will fall on the armies of
Satan, killing them. II will take the
white men seven months to bury these
armies. Then will commence the heaven
ly age. after the day of judgment. when
Satan's followers were all destroyed
There will be no night. The moon will
equal the sun. The sun will be sevenfold
as the light of seven days. You cannot
separate light and heat. Therefore the
heat will be seven times as great
THE other day the thermometer here
registered lis degrees. Seven times this
is S26. In the heavenly age men who are
sanctified viii live in the spirit Angels
are flames OF fire and saints will be made
living fire so that they can live in the
great heat.
Take sinner and throw him over the
battlements of heaven-he wouldn't touch
the ground. but would be consumed. After
the judgment day the sanctified will be
baptized with fire and prepared to endure
the flames of heaven-an eleyating. puri-
flying fire. +-r --
