Very good! That settles the mat.
ter" he replied. 81 shall try for some
thing Immediately. There on the la
BILE are pencil and paper. Or use a
whatever you want"
In few minutes | was waiting for
the great moment, pencil and paper
in hand. My aged host, leaning back
in his chair, covered his eyes with
his hands and relapsed into an APP
parently comatcse condition.
Begins His Revelation
For ten minutes he remained abso-
lutely motionless. Then, straighten-
ing up like one in a trance, he began
in low and hollow voice:
This is a revelation Of events of
universal character which must very
shortly come to pass. Their spiritu-
al outlines are now before my eyes.
| see floating upon the surface of the
sea of human fate the huge silhouet
of a nude woman. She is-with her
beauty, poise, her smile, her jewels
-superVenus. Nations rush madly
after her, each OF them eager to at
tract her especially. But she, like
an eternal courtesan, flirts with all.
In her hair ornaments, of diamonds
and rubies, is engraved her name,
Commercialism AS alluring and be-
witching as she seems, much destruc-
ton and agony follow in her wake.
! Her breath, reeking of sordid tran
sactions, her voice of metallic charac-
ter like gold, and her look of greed
are so much poison to the nations
who fall victims to her charms.
Three Torches Of Corruption
"And, behold, she has three gigan-
| tic arms with three torches of uni
versal corruption in her hands. The
| first torch represents the flame of
war, that the beautiful courtesan car
ries from city to city and country to
country. Patriotism answers with
! flashes of honest flame, but the end
is a roar Of guns and of muskets.
THE second torch bears the flame
OF bigotry and hypocrisy. 1t lights the
lamps only in temples and on the
affairs of sacred institutions. 1t car
ries the seed of falsity and fanatic
ism. II kindles the minds that are
still in cradles and follows them &c
their graves.
THE third torch is that of the law
that dangerous foundation of all un
authentic traditions, which first does
its fatal work in the family. then
sweeps through the larger world o.
literature, art and craftsmanship.
All Europe In Flames
"The great confagration will start
about 1912, set by the torch Of the
first arm in the countries of south
eastern Europe. 1t will develop into
destruction and calamity in 1913.
In that year ! see all Europe in
flames and bleeding. hear the la
mentations of huge battlefields.
But about the year 1915 the
strange figure from the north-a new
Napoleon-enters the stage OF the
bloody drama. He Is a man OF little
militaristic training, writer or a
journalist, but in his grip most Of Eu,
rope will remain until 1926.
"The end of the great calamity will
mark new political era for the old
world. There will be left no empires
or Kingdoms, but the world will form
a federation of the United States OF
Nations. There will remain only four
great giants-the Anglo Saxon, the
Latins, the Slavs and the Mongolians.
Then a New Ethical Era
! AFTER the year 1925 see a change
in religious sentiment. The second
torch of the courtesan has brought
about the fall of the church. The eth.
ical idea has almost vanished. HUI
manity is without moral feeling.
But then a great reformer arises.
He will clear the world Of the relies
Of monotheism and lay the corner
stone OF the temple OF pantheism
God, soul, spirit and immortality will
be molten in a new furnace, and
see the peaceful beginning OF an
ethical era. The man determined to
this mission Is Monaghan Slav. He
Is already walking the earth-a man
OF active affairs. He himself does
not now realize the mission assigned
to him by Superior Power.
"And behold, the fame Of the third
torch, which has already begun to
destroy our family relations, our stan
dards Of art and morals. The rela.
ton between woman and man Is ac-
cepted as a prosaic partnership Of
the sexes. Art has become realistic
degeneracy.
