END OF WORLD
IS COMING SOON

indianapolis, Ind, Aug. 9.-'The
world will come to an end within a
very few years." declared Elder o.
Montgomery, president of the In
diana conference of the Seventh Day
Adventists, during the service at the
camp meeting now progressing
here.
IT cannot set the year. 1t may
be next year, it may be five years.
But 1 do know that 1t will come be-
fore the death of the last man who
saw the falling of the stars on No
vember 13, 1888. There are few
people living who saw that pheno-
menon and l know that the end will
come before all Of them are gone
Elder Montgomery said that
science had been unable to solve the
falling of the stars in 1888 and that.
he had scriptural proof that the,
millennium would occur within the,
generation following that event.
