PREACHED AGAINST PREDIc-
TONS AND SEEING VISIONS

Rev. H. M. Pingree in the Metho-
dist church yesterday morning preach
ed against disastrous predictions aud
seeing visions in the night. This
was a very timely subject as there are
dozens of people In Florence said to
be greatly agitated over prediction
said to be made by L. r. Arnold that
cyclone Is to sweep over Florence IN
the near future and that a lart of the
city is to destroyed.
Rev. Pingree's object was to relieve
the minds of the people on this idiot
ic notion. He dwelt with the sub.
ject that no man is gifted with the
power of foretelling what il going
to happen in this world; that that
power is withheld from men by God
himself; that If such power was
granted that disorder and chaos and
pandemonium would rule in the
world and therefore He withholds
the power on earth.
He also spoke about ''Seeing
Things at Night" saying that God is
good and that he does his work in the
light AMI in the open. Angels, &C.
cording to Rev. Pingree, do not ap.
pear in this world and that If they
did they would not come at night
Z he work of the devil is done in the
dark and in the night, and therefore
the object seen in the heavens few
nights ago, as reported by some, was
not an angel at all. The report that
an angel had been seen in the heavens
has been taken seriously by some
while others laugh at the idea. II
was Pingree's object to allay all fear
in this direction, simply because
this object WAS not an angel, nor was
it something which foretold disaster
to the world
Owing to the prominence given tc
the disaster report the congregation
