Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1908-02-19

Many disasters, panics, storms, rev.
olutions and fatalities were predict
ed for the year 1907. While some of
these prophecies actually came true,
and others did not, the 1907 proph-
cts are pointing to their verified pre-
dictions and saying, II told you so"
AT the same time, people who have
very little or no faith in prophets,
certainly have abundant excuses for
remarking that as usual, the proph-
cts of 1907 overstepped the mark.
Nearly every imaginable kind OF
disaster was prophesied for 1907, and
it is comforting to note that most Of
them have not occurred.
For instance, Prof. Edmund Scrib-
ner Stevens, formerly of Lebanon,
Pa, but now II resident of Washing
ton, ID. c., predicted that during 1907
the whole aspect of the world was
to be changed.
"Old geographical lines will dis

will crumble, new States will arise.
Established religions, excepting
Christianity, will fade away, and So
cial forms will be revolutionized
Across the face of the earth a broad
track will sweep an unknown, but
desolating force. Cities will be laid
in ruins, mountains will be torn
asunder, parts of continents will van
ish and new land will rise out of the
sea-"
Prof. Stevens further predicted for
1907 the death of the Car of Rus
STA, followed by the 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 Emperor Fran
els Joseph of Austria, breaking the
peace of Europe; the demise of the
Dowager Empress of China, bringing
in new dynasty.
Nine. de Thebes, of Paris, came
nearer to the mark by predicting that
the people of the United States were
to enter into a period OF mlsfortunes
curing 1907. She said nothing about
earthquakes and other desolating
forces, but one or two things which
she did predict, and which have been
verified, are interesting to look back
upon.

with financial catastrophes and other
scandals" said Nine. Thebes. Many
royal houses all over Europe will be
in mourning. The Emperor of Aus
tria will not leave his crown to his
expected successor. King Edward is
to figure as peacemaker in a pitched
battle between the Lords and Com
mons. Belgium will go through So
cial and political upheavals."
Prophet Lee j. Spangler, of York,
Pa, who predicted in the New York
World, Dec. IS, 1905, that during
1906 there would be a destructive
eruption of Mount Vesuvius, great
and destructive earthquakes in Cali
fornia, earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions in all parts of the world,
grouped 1907 and 1908 together in
his ninth bulletin of predictions is
sued in May, 1906. without being
very specific as to dates, Mr.. Spang-
Ter said:
Wall street is the center of all
the high crime for which greed is re-
sponsible. There the schemes that
are to rob and appress the people are
planned and set in practice by men
who go UNPUBLISHED because they
have made themselves more powerful
than the laws of their State and Ma
ton. But the mighty cannot escape
the laws of God. The palaces that
New York millionaires. with their i'll
gotten gains, have reared will be
shaken down upon heir 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 ISL
and. 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 1t swept San
Francisco. The Statue of Liberty
will be thrown down like the great
Colossus of Rhodes.
THE first earthquake shocks to
visit New York will come as a warn
Ing from God, but they will not be
needed because the inhabitants -
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.
