The exact date Of the end OF the
pre- cent age and the dawn OF the NIL
lennium las at last been discovered.
The unfolder Of this interesting ana
long looked for bit Of Information Is
the Rev. NJ. Baxter OF London, who has
perpetrated two books, entitled "Iweh-
~ coming Events" and Future Won
ders of Prophecy" says the New YORK
Commercial Advertiser.
As a prophet with magnincentiy
microscopic vision and an utterer OF
closged and involved English the Kew
Mr.. Baxter surpasses John Alexander
Dowie.
According TO Baxter, the last day OF
this age will be either Thursday, May
2. 1929, or April 8. 1881. Simultaneous

which of the two days the end will
come, because he is undecided on what
date Napoleon will seal the seven year
covenant with the Jews. Napoleon

Macedonia. then of Syria. lie VIII be
the little horn of Daniels seventh
chapter"
Ii is impossible to follow the Rev.
Mr.. Baxter in all his prophetic deduc-
tons, but this much is clear-a great
deal of trouble is to strike the earth be-
fore May 2, 1929, or April 8, 1881.
Among other things, those of us who
are still alive two months before the
end will have chance TO enjoy the
"seven walls or plaques" within
the final December, January, February,
March and April" says Baxter, they
will be fulfilled thus:
"Vial |. noisome sores for three days;
vial ., sea becomes blood for four days;
vial 3, rivers and fountains become
blood for four days; vial 4. sun scorches
men for fifteen days; vial 3, total dark
ness for three days; vial q, Euphrates
dries up during 100 days: vial I, earth
quakes, shaking down all cities, and
Christ's descent during the final five
days"
Before this two sackcloth clothed

They will have power to turn rivers
into blood and shut up the heavens Sc
that 10 rain can reach the earth fol
1890 days. Demon scorpion locusts
will torment men for five months. de-
mon horsemen will ride over the globe
for thirteen months and kill One-third
of the men, and the first four trum
pets" seven years before the millen
mum, will "O bring hail and fire OIL
earth in September, ~ turn one-thirC
of the sea into blood in January, g
embitter one-third of the fresh water,
in April and a. darken one-third Of
sun, moon and stars
Although all these little troubles ar,
evidently intended for the whole world
the greater part of Baxter's squints u
the future have resulted in what look
like hard time for Europe.
At the very front of his Twenty
Coming Events the prophet places
the Formation of the Ten Kingdoms.
Seventeen European countries are t,
} be amalgamated into ten-France, Brit
ain, Spain, Italy, Austria, Greece
Egypt, Syria, Turkey and the Balkan
} states. These will constitute the "Tel
Kingdomed Latin Confederacy." oppos
ed to Germany and Russia.
An eleventh little sovereign amonI
the ten sovereigns, the Little Horn
will arise to rule the ten Kingdoms
This will be Napoleon, who, according
to Baxter, may turn out to be eithe
Prince Victor Napoleon or Prince Loui
Napoleon. He will rapidly advanc
| from Macedonian leader to be kin
of Syria and then master of the te
kingdoms.
Along about this time-either Apr
, 10, 1922. or May 2, 1929-Napoleon wi
sign seven years covenant with tn
Jews, who will recommence their dali
sacrifice Of lamb and will rebuilt
the temple in Jerusalem.
twenty-five months after the Littl
Horn signs the covenant the Messia

or 1898 p. m. London"
After the sensational soaring Of tn
