the Jews will return to Jerusalem
in 1915, and the Battle of Arranged
don will be fought in 1888, accord
to Rev. S. Samuel Clewents, super
intendent of the Wesleyan Methodist
society, who is delivering course OF
lectures in the First Wesleyan church
of Philadelphia, on 1.-THE Second Com
ing of Christ" Mr.. Clements de-
clares that the New Testament has
foretold these events, and that by a
careful study of the Scriptures and by
comparing the prophecies with the
happenings of the past specific time
can be set for these great events.
The signs of the times plainly show
that the fulfillment of all prophecy is
now at hand. st. Paul declared that
the falling off from the Christian faith
would be the forerunner of the final
destruction of the world. People now
adays are not going to church. This
is a literal fulfillment of the prophecy.
THE world is getting worse every
day. The extreme disobedience of chill
dren to their parents is another sign
that the world is getting worse instead
of better. The time is not far on
when the final consummation of all
things will be at hand. The Jews will
return to Jerusalem in 1915, in prep
aration for the second and literal re-
turn of Christ to the world. The pres
ent Balkan war is simply another full
fillment of Biblical prophecy and paw
ing the way for the second coming of
Christ
The decline of the papcy will occur
in 1923, and the Battle of Arranged
don viii be fought in 1888. The end
OF the world will soon follow"-Phil.

Great Plague Of London.

Medical authorities agree that the
epidemic which prevailed In London
in 1865 was what we now call bu.
bonic plague. 1t is well known thai,
this Black Death" was prevalent In
various parts Of the world In ancient
times. The outbreaks were peculiarly
violent then by reason OF the condi
tions of poverty and the almost total
absence of sanitation. 1t was the an.
cient medical writer's who gave 1t the
name of the plilgue.
The mortality in London In 1865
was appalling. Thousands were swept
away by the dread malady. and there
was a great exodus from the stricken
city Some of the medical authorities
thought 1t had been brought into Lon
don In bales of merchandise coming
from Holland. which originally came
from the Levant: others contendet
that 1t was brought In by Dutch pris
