CHANGE IN WORLDS ASPECT


All the dire events which would in the
ordinary course of things befall the ma
| lions of the earth throughout a period of
| fourteen years are to be crowded into the
brief space of seven days, dating from Sun
| day night last, according to the proclaim
ton of Edmund Scribner Stevens of this
! city, but formerly of Lebanon, Pa, who
| delivers message" which, he states was
received by telepathy, September 80, 1906,
| "Old STYLE" or May 8, 1913, new style"
| Two cycles Of seven years each with all
their misery and desolation are contracted
| into single week, while in the wake of
| a cyclonic devastation, which is to sweep
| over the world in that time, may come at
once the pouring out of the walls of wrath,
| as 1t were, of another seven years, This,
| however according to the disclosures
| which Mr.. Stevens says have been made
| to him, is uncertain. But about the first
| he has not the slightest doubt.
| The whole aspect of the world, the bearer
| of the message" declares, is to be
| changed. Old geographical lines will dis
will arise, established religions, excepting
| Christianity, will fade away and social
| forms will be. revolutionized-alI before
next Sunday rolls around.
Across the face of the earth, he asserts.
| in broad track will sweep an unseen and
| unknown but desolating force Cities will
| be laid in ruins, moutains torn asunder.
parts of continents will vanish as If they
had been swallowed up and new grand d.
visions Of land will rise from out of the
sea.
Political Events.
Among the political events Of the deepest
| import which will crowd one upon the other
| will be- he declares. the death of the car
! Of Russia, followed by freedom of the Jews
from oppression: the passing away Of the
Sultan Of Turkey, with the restoration Of
Palestine to the Hebrews; the death of
Franz Josef of Austria. breaking the
peace of Europe. The demise Of the dow
ager Empress of China. bringing in new
| dynasty. is also predicted.
Though Mr.. Edmund Scribner Stevens
states with all confidence that these things
and many more events Of the most stupen-
dous character will occur in the time given,
he is careful to declare that he is neither
| a prophet nor the son of prophet He
says he is simply "a one-horse man." who
| has seen a great light and who has been
charged with a great mission. He explains
| that under supernatural tutelage he has
become acquainted with things, which are
| withheld from the great mass OF mankind,
| and that 1t is his solemn duty to proclaim
| what he has learned In order that men may
| be warned Of the disasters which are i'm
pending. =.
Should his timely words be needed he
! thinks that many thousands of lives will be
saved, particularly in New York and other
great cities of this continent which are to
| be sInitten by the unseen hand. Mr.. Ste
vens. however. confesses that he has but
| little hope that the prophecies of which he
has been made the mouthpiece will be seri-
! ously regarded by more than small per-
| centage Of the race. But, like the prophets
of old. he is not thereby deferred In the
| ance of his duty. Asserting that should
| only one life be saved. that one would COM
| pensate for his trouble. he is cheerful about
it all. In any event. he declares. it is not
his to consider results but to faithfully de-
| liver his message.
Is Himself Surprised.
Mr.. Stevens admits that the whole thing
is overwhelmingly terrible, but he says it is
| equally as wonderful that so much Of the
| destiny Of the world should have been re-
vealed to him. While for years he has been
engaged in Investigate and research con-
| corning things that are hidden from ordi-
| nary men, he states that last Sunday was
| the first time he ever received any COM
| muncation by mental telegraph. But
| though wholly unused to such experiences
| he was by no means at a loss to understand
| the revealed mysteries and to recognize at
| once their supernatural character. So plain
| were the assurances that he believes others,
after being properly instructed and APP
preaching the wonderful matter In the
proper spirit, could also have their minds SO
| Illuminated as to see in the message and its
accompanying circumstances evidences, not
| of a weird phantasm, but of a wonderful
| revelation. AS proof unmistakable that such
! is the character Of the message he received,
| he refers to an inspiration had at that time
under which influence stream of beautiful
poetry flowed from his facile pen. This he
| exhibits, saying that no one after reading
| it could doubt that the author was moved
| by something higher than the muses. Of
| classics.
| Began In Early Morning.
The voices, he states began to be heard
promptly at 2:35 am, three verses of the
poem being flashed into his mind. After the
fourth verse had come he heard noises like
thunder and later had a vision Of vessel
ashore on the breakers Of the sea sending
| forth signals of distress. For years Mr.
| Stevens has been consulting chronological
| and historical charts in the light OF Scrip
tural prophecies. He says he was impressed
| last Sunday morning to make certain meas
urements with a ruler on large map OF the
| world whereupon the events of destiny were
Minuteiy following instructions. he states
he laid his rule on the line of right ascen-
sion" passing through st. Helena Palermo,
Sardinia, Rome. Venice, St. Petersburg
will soon be visited by wave of desola-
ton. Other measurements on the western
hemisphere after touching cities of South
and Central America. passed through the
gulf Of Mexico, to Mobile and Pensacola,
and thence to st. Louis The return around
the world is then traced, the line corre-
sronding to the fortieth, degree north lati-
tude touching the lower countries Of Eu-
rope and crossing the Atlantic, where the
"sunken -Atlantis-will be raised
again and Will be Azilian, the white land
lof Montesuma. the Garden Of Eden re-
stored"
Corresponding to this. he asserts. he
found that the ''sunken continent of Pan"
would be raised in the Pacific
Vague Regarding This City.
The revelations which Mr.. Stevens re-
ceived concerning Washington were some
what vague as to the time, but definite as
to results. He had q vision in which he
