! The Story Of Revelation
} And Astronomical Fact

Professor c. A. l.. Totten. former
military instructor at Yale, has pre-
pared horoscope of the Book of Reve-
llation. which he calls "Christ's Cryptic
gram"
For twelve years Professor Totten
has studied deeply In astronomy, astlo-
ey and scientific chronology in connec-
ton with Investigations of the allegori-
cal and the historical books OF Holy
Writ. He has become convinced that
the time is not far distant when the
science Of chronology will be studied
as most important department Of
learning.

Totten has evolved is planetary in its
scope. II reveals, he believes. simply

Out OF the throne proceeded light
n!ngs, thunder and mighty notes.-the
accomraniments of Deity. There was
rainbow around the throne. which is

the planets In the rainbow he saw
seven lamps Of fire burning. These
we're the seven planets. which John has
told us astrologically are the seven
spirits o. Cod.
Before the throne was vast
ethereal sea, like crystal. This was the
blue expanss which every one can peer
into but never beyond.
