LATEST CHICAGO SEER
"DANIEL H." REVEALS IDENTITY
TO SMALL BAND.
Says Lake Will Wipe City out-De-
ciares Earth Was Thrown off its
Balance at Time Of
Crucifixion.

Chicago.-A new prophet has arisen
in Chicago TO seize the throne va
Gated by John Alexander Dowie. The
latest reincarnation of the seers OF
old is Daniel H. better known TO
the outside world as Dr. William Dan
iel Gentry, = former State street ply
sician The new prophet revealed his
identity TO a band of % souls at
Central Mission hall on Clark street.
The people Of Chicago need worry
themselves no longer over the project
of a deep waterway from the lakes to
the gulf, prOclaimeth the prophet
who is strictly up-tO-date seer. In
a very short time the earth is go
ing to take a little jump of a couple
of hundred miles rs a result OF which
the deep waterway and many other
improvements in the terrestrial globe
Will be accomplished Immediately.
AS a matter of fact. it is hardly
worth while for the citizens of Chi
cago to bother themlseves about any
thing at ALL for they and their city
viii soon be resting quietly under so
feet of water. and the ships of the
nations of the earth will sail quietly
over the Masonic temple So saith
the prophet
In rle orthodox manner prescribed
by immemOrial tradition, the gift of
prophecy and the revelation of his
identity with the hero of the lions
den came upon the unsuspecting Dan
iel like a flash For nine years he
had abandoned the practice of medi-
cine to take up the more lucrative
business of faith healing and the
casting ont of unclean spirits, for this
purpose travelling all over the con-
tinent
While passing near Hamilton, Ont,
recently he fell into a deep trance,
he declares. Before his eyes stretch
ed great valley At the same time
his sight attained a remarkable per-
spicuity and he gazed with eagle
glance over the entire continent of
North America, and saw the world
as it had been in the days of the
cave men, before even the Indian had
seen the prairies.
simultaneously the seer heard
voice proclaim in his ear that he
was Daniel reincarnated to proclaim
the great truth to the world Awak-
ing, DR., Gentry fastened back to Chi
cago and summoned his followers.
In his glimpse of the world as it
used to be Daniel discovered that the
deep waterway from the lakes to the
gulf indeed had been once an es-
tablished fact and he set immediate
ly about to discover how the change
had come about. Naturally he turned
first TO the book which he had writ
ten in those far-distant times when
he had witnessed to the truth before
the king of Babylon and there he
! found the secret revealed.
According TO the prophet the earth
was thrown off its balance at the
| time of the crucifxion and in the 19
centuries which have elapsed it has
, been wandering on its misguided way,
accommodating snow and ice, formerly
! unknown, and incidentally disrupting
, the internal navigation system of
North America. As a conclusive
! proof Of his statement DR.. Gentry
/ points to the fact that the magnetic
pole is several hundred miles from
J the north pole and also that investiga-
! tion has proved that the polar regions
formerly were within the tropical
/ zone.
This state of things is all 60
ing to be altered very shortly, he
/ says, but the manner in which the
| change viii occur promises small
| comfort to Americans. The new
prophet essentially is man of
wrath and his prophecies TEEN with
| denunciations and calamities
! When the change comes, he says.
Lake Erie will disappear and Lake
/ Michigan will arise and sweep Chi
J cago out of existence. At the same
| time all the cities of the Atlantic
coast will be inundated. he says. In
order to avoid any unfairness in his
| distribution of calamities Daniel H..
has provided earthquakes for the de-
/ structiOn of all the great cities of
the interior and with disregard for
( figures. declares that "incalculable
I billions of people Will be destroyed. -
Unlike Dowie, DR.. Gentry has no
intention of building a new Zion.
Those who believe in him, he claims.
viii be caught up out of the general
devastation and conveyed to Jerusa-
lem. He apparently is not concerned
about what will happen in the rest f
the world apart from North America
