"MilIenniaI Dawn" Believer Dis
cUsses Event of 1914.

Pottstown, Pa. April 4.-Henry S. Kuser,
the pioneer and spokesman Of the NIL
lennial Dawn" people here. said last night
that the announcement OF their brethren
in TerryviIle Conn. that the world would
end in 1914 has been known 10 them for
a long time Mr. KuseT went further
than the Terryville people by saying the
event would occur in October.
1t is only a close reading Of the Scrip
lures from Genesis 70 Revelations said
Mr.. Kuser. that we are able to forecast
the time when the world comes 10 an
end. II 1874 Christ's presence was due
and He then came. but He was visible to
only the spiritual eye. In forty years He
would return to gather His little flock
and set up His kingdom on earth, and
thar is in 1914 Mr.. Kuser declared with
the utmost sincerity.
Asked whether the world would be en-
tirely destroyed in 1914 Mr. Kuser gave
an emphatic negative reply. He added
The earth will abide forever. but Christ
will come. and satan will be bound for
1.OO0 years. during which period sinners.
both living and dead, will have a chance
20 repent There will be a terrible battle.
and the politicians and the church's and
societys vampires. the prosecutors Of the
poor and the vast holders Of ill-gotten
wealth. will be crushed out But the
world VIII move on with the evil de-
stroyed.'
