NEW YORK IS DOOMED.
Prophet" Spangler, Of York, Pa.
Foretells Wall Streets Fall.

New York is an i'll. fated city, like San Fran.
| cisco, says Prophet Lee Spanger, of York,
Pa, in the New York World of NAV Is.
A destructive earthquake will come to it
within two years. San Francisco was a wicked
city, When | predicted last December that
there would be destructive eruption of Mount
Vesuvius / also made the prediction that de.
structive earthquake shocks would visit San
Francisco and other settlements on the Coast.
1t was communicated TO me by the Lord
that San Francisco was to be shaken to the
earth and swept by fire because of its wicked
ness, but, ah me! San Francisco, with it's
opium joints. its gambling resorts, its dens of
vice, cosmopolitan mixture of vagabonds and
rogues, is not to be compared TO sinful New
York. the worst city in the world for high
crimes.
The real God of our fathers is no longer
worshlped In the metropolis. The people there
bow down to new deity-the deity of the
sordid and greedy. the hideous god Mammonl
Wall street is the center of all the high crime
for which greed is responsible. There the
schemes that are to rob and Cypress the peo
pie are planned and set in practice by men who
UNPUBLISHED because they have made them
selves more powerful than the laws of their
State and nation. But the mighty cannot es-
cape the laws of God. The palaces that New
York miIlionaires, with their il-gotten gains,
have reared will be shaken down upon their
heads.
Light earthquake shocks will be felt on
Manhattan Island from time to time. There
will be disturbances in New York bay and on
Long Island. Then, finally, the great shock
will come. Wall street will be laid in the
dust. Skyscrapers will settle into the earth
and fire will sweep the Island of Manhattan as
it swept San Francisco. The Statue of Lib
erty will be thrown down like the great Colos-
suS of Rhodes. because ii is mocbery.
The first earthquake shocks to visit New
York will come as warnings from God, but
they will not be needed because the inhabi-
tans-those of them who are in power-are
too greatly stepped in sin. The earthquake
area surrounding New York will be large.
Many towns will be destroyed. There will be
great distress. The rich oppressors will be
the greatest sufferers The poor. who are pure
at heart, shall escape
Mobs OF hungry men and women will rove
over the island taking from the rich, stripping
the bodies of the dead aud looting the ruined
mansions.
All those churches in which hired sophists
preach false doctrines-those churches where
wealth reigns and the spirit of God is not
will be shaken down. never to be reared again,
for they are false temples to a false god.
In the meantime several terrific storms will
sweep over New York city, causing much
damage. There will be severe earthquake
shocks in Spain within the next few months.
The rivers of Russia ARE going to become dry
and there will be great suffering there from
drouth.
There can be no cheerful prospect when
there is so much wickedness. These are the
days OF vengeance. Great disasters, mighty
calamities are to visit the earth because the
end of the world is not far off,
