This is MBichael Nostradamus, a French
specialist of immense reputation through
| the centuries, who wrote somewhere
about the year. 1919, and whose text is
so we'll known and accessible that he
! scarcely needs introduction. Essentially
French he dealt naturally much with the
fate of France, in which 1 have not space
to go back further than the Great Revolu-

wonderful exactness, placing its beginning

beginning this year" runs the astro-
logical prediction of Nostradamus, there
will be the greatest persecution Of the
/ Christian Church. Perhapsm, bedoinrdlu
! Christian Church Bishops and mobiles
/ shall be destroyed. The fair land Of
| France shall be desolaated by fire and
sword. These unhappinesses will cause a
renewal of the world which is to last 100
years.
Is not this renewal of the world to
! last one hundred years, the utterly new
and progressivxe nineteenth century?
/ Nothing could be more accurate, yet
nothing more improbable. according to
! the natural run of thought Of a man
living, as Nostradamus did, around the
year 1870. At the expiration of the 100
years the end of the nineteenth century,
the troubles are to commence.
/ THE land will be torn apart. Brothers
/ shall strive against brother. great
/ and evil genius rises. who shall contend
with the stars themselves
/ The occuIists of Paris consider that
! they have good answer TO the accusa-
/ ton of vagueness in these old prophecies
/ They are not vague, because the dates
are given, and. for the rest, the ancient
seers beheld the future in broad lines,
( looking for a distance; getting, as it
were, a birds eye view Of the world $
fate. What we ought to admire, wonder
at and regard as confirmation OF the gen.

which black art astrologers agree with
monksh prophets and ancient and modern
| Christian mystics and Missionaries like Sis

Pere Necton who died in 1772, said:
Paris shall be destroyed in 1904.
Sister Marianne, OF the Ursulines of
Blois, who died in ,1S0i, prophesied the

of the French army in experimenting,

And so on. The seer of Belley, who died

The Able Sonier, a Christian Kabbalist
who is of considerable renown among the
pious and curious of high and intransige-
ant Partisan society, has been laboriously
engaged summing up these matters and
one can do no better than to follow him..
This l shall now do.
Here" says the Able Sonier, lis the
result of my researches. The near future
will show whether I am deceived in my
calculations or not"
"A King of France, a Bourbon, ought to
remount the throne Of his fathers in the
year of grace 1906. ---.s.--
THE Turkish Empire. and Islam in
Africa will be destroyed by this king
shortly after.
THE Anti-christ, who is now living and
who, according TO the most diverse
prophecies and Kabbalistic calculations.

the same day that the Virgin Mary was
proclaimed conceived without sin, Decem-
Der s. 1854. will commence his persecu-
tons of the church in the decade 1904
1914. probably earlier than later, and Will
die in the decade 19l4-l924.
1t is curious how all the predictions
settle around the date of 1904 with I'M
varying persistency. The venerable Holz-
auser. whose Commentary on the Re
velataion of st. john" published in the
year 1855 has always been looked upon
as most extraordinary book (and from
whom many lesser prophets and COM
mentators havetaken their hints and fig
ures) had worked it out in plain figures.
No one is ignorant OF the calculation of
the seventy weeks in which the Prophet
Daniel precised the appearance of the
Messiah These seventy weeks have al
weys been interpreted as weeks of years,
or 400 years.

of the fall OF Islam by ''one time, two
times and the half of time" Holzauser.
