The Year 1906.


dictlon of coming ills. which are
being made by pretended prophets
OF this age. Fortunately now, no
man is endowed with the gift of
prophecy. That gift died with the
death of the last apostle. and peo-
pie need feel no alarm at the
prophecies of i'll from any of their
pretended successors. These pre-
tenders or false prophets are among
the things prophesied of in the
years long past. But they have
not the real prophetic ken. They
may alarm some timid and feeble
minded people.
One Of these false prophets lives
IN New York and has recently
ventured to forecast events for the
year 1906. As matter of curios-
ity, we present here some of his
direful predictions, and the year
1906 will probably suffice to show.
that he does not draw his inspira-
ton from above. He predicts.

The overthrow Of Turkey.
The assassination of the Car

The prevention of three wars 10y

Destructive spring floods in the

volcanoes supposed to be extinct.

are to overcome in n great degree
the present spirit Of graft and
commercialism.
That the United States will con
tinue to be world power and the
leader OF other nations.
That Pennsylvania is to have an
administration of the people, and
that discoveries of corruption will
be made which will drive some of
the guilty to suicide.
That God will wreck terrible
vengeance upon Russia for the
Jewish maSsacres.
These are not all evil forebod-
ings, but they are all mere gueSSes,
though it is 10 be hoped that some
of them may materalize. There
are Indications that religious re-
vivals will prevail in England and
