Dreadful Things to Happen, Accord
ing to Hitherto Successful Seer.
The prophecies Of Lee Spangler,
York merchant, who calls himself th'
last Of the prophets, and whose hobby
for y years has been the making O.
prophecies, are creating a stir al
York, Pa, among those who have
faith in him.
From time to time during the past
- years he has issued pamphlets and
tracts warning people to prepare fol
the end Of the world in June, 1908.
During the war between the British
and the Bears in South Africa he
wrote a letter to Qeen Victoria in
which he predicted her dearth within
six months if she failed to withdraw
the troops from South Africa. In a
letter to President Mckinley Spangler
warned him against an assassin.
The most recent Of his prophecies
to be fulfilled were the death Of Mark
Hanna and the breaking out Of the
war between Russia and Japan.
Spangler says that his prophecies
are revealed to him in visions by the
voice of God. He said last night.
When the Maine was blown up in
Havana harbor, before I had heard
of the disaster, it was told me in a
vision that foreign country would
perpetrate terrible crime against
this country. Spain was the criminal.
Since the blowing up Of the Main
there has been no peace on earth.
The Castiliaps aroused the war
spirit, which had been Slumbering,
and they applied tie match which has
caused the war flame to spread. This
was the beginning, the end will be
more terrible, more narrowing than it
is possible for the human imagination
to conceive.
THE war now going on in the East
is Insignificant in comparison with the
wars that are to follow. Complica-
tions will arise which will draw many
OF the European nations into the
fighting, and other wars will break
out between Europe nations. Within
year all Europe will be warning.
The United States will be at war
with foreign countries, and there will
be bloody race wars within her own
boundaries.
'We have just had severe winter,
but the severity Of next winter will
be greater. We will have cool sum-
mers and rigorous winters until the
world is destroyed by fire three and a
half years from now.
''Just before the destruction an
archy will hold sway everywhere.
There will be widespread famine and
epidemics in all lands. Cold will bring
about these things tc prepare the
faithful and discover and expose the
inSincere.
Gods wrath will be especially vis
tied upon women. They will lose
their beauty. The Lord will take
this method to punish woman for her
great sin of vanity, which she has
been cultivating since the expulsion
from Eden.
President Roosevelt will be re-
elected as president as President Of
the United States. but be will sigh a
thousand times for private life again.
The cares Of his office Will be the
greatest that any Chief Magistrate Of
Republic has had, and his Anminis-
tration the most tumultuous Of any
in the history Of the United States.
BE will be living when the end comes.
king Edward will be the last
King Of England and will witness the
destruction Of the world by fire and
the coming Of Christ"
