RELATES TO WORLDS WAR
Many People, After Studying His
Story, Believe That What He
Said, Years Ago, Is Being
Enacted Now.

present world war yet published the
most remarkable is that of a monk
named Brother John or Johannes, who
lived about the year 1900.
His forecast points to the events of
the present war with amazing close
ness. THE black eagle from the land
of Luther" and 'the white eagle from
the north, who will fall upon the black
and the other eagle" seem to refer UNI
mistakably to the war of Germany and
Austria against Russia. Many other
illusions are equally startling.
There is no doubt that this is a gen
uine ancient document. 1t was pub
lished in Paris shortly after the out
break of the war by M. Peladan, a
French literary man of high reputa-
ton, who gave it's history since the six
teenth century. Some of its most
startling passages are given here.
The Real Antichrist.
The real Antichrist will be one of
the monarchs of his time, Lutheran
Protestant He will invoke God and
give himself out as his Messenger Cor
apostle).
This prince of lies will swear by the
Bible He will represent himself as
the arm of the Most High, sent to
chastise corrupt peoples.
He will only have one arm, but his
innumerable armies, who will take for
their device the words God with u.s."
will resemble the internal legions.
For long time he will act by craft
and strategy. His spies will overrun
the earth, and he will be master of the
secrets of the mighty.
He will have learned men in his pay
who will maintain, and undertake to
prove, his celestial mission.
A war will furnish him with the OPP
portunity of throwing off the mask.
It will not be in the first instance a
war which he will wage against a
French monarch. But it will be one
of such a nature that after two weeks
all will realize its universal character.
Not only all Christians and all Mus
selmans, but even other more distant
peoples will be involved. Armies will
be enrolled from the four quarters OF
the globe.
For. by the third week, the angels
will have opened the minds of men
who will perceive that the man is An
tichrist, and that they will all become
his slaves if they do not overthrow
this conqueror.
Antichrist will be recognized by var
: ious tokens; in especial he will massa
ere the priests, the monks, the women
the children, and the aged. He will
show no mercy, but will pass, torcf
{ in hand, like the barbarians, but invok
ing Christ!
: His words of imposture will resem
/. BILE those of Christians, but his actions
5 will be those of Nero and of the Ro
s man prosecutors. He will have al
r eagle in his arms, and there will be al
/ eagle also in the arms of his confed
g crate, another bad monarch.
. In order to conquer Antichrist it will
S be necessary to kill more men thai
