THE MODERN PROPHET.

The unhappy predictions of Lee
Spangier, the famous prophet OF York,
(Ps,) sppear to be coming true. at
least as far as the Russian Empire is
concei ned. In his latest bulletin the
prophet said:
Woe unto Russia. She is fast APP
preaching her doom. The people will
overthrow the Empire. The royal
family and the leading members oil
the nobility will be murdered and sub
jscted TO worse cruelties than they
have inflicted upon the Russian peo-
p e. The country will be divided up
into small republics and elective mon-
arches, and these will be constantly
quafreling and 10 state OF war until
the end of the world comes, in ooS. .
With the news Of the assassination
OF the Graud Duke Sergius. the hated
uncle OF the Gar. there is some ground
Tor belief in Sraugler's predictions. /,
is TO be hoped, however. that tie
cheerful announcement that the end
OF the world will come in 1905. three
years hence, will prove untrue.
Here are few OF the other predic.
tions OF the prophet Spaugler;
The big spot that has appeated on
the sun is ominous, It io,etel,s re-
beilion, peStilence and natural eatas.
trophies upon the earth, The outbreak
OF rebellion in Russia is but a spark.
It will be famed into flame that will
sweep over the world
The United States will not escape.
The worst riots in the history of the
nation are to occur this year. It will
be year of strikes in all the great in.
dustiial nations of the world. There
will be much famine, much fighting
and much woe.
In literary production 1905 will be
a prolific year. The worlds creates,
book OF philosophy, exec ping the
Bible, OF course, will be written this
year. twill be written by man who
is now obscure and is struggling
against the greatest odds to achieve
the work that God has mapped ont
for him. This man will become the
warm personal friend. supporter and
