PROPHET TELLS OF WARS END
German Monk In 1901 Fixed Three
Years and Five Months OF Strife

Copenhagen.--In the razing of the
old monastery of the Holy Ghost in
Wismar, an old Bible was found
which contained a remarkable prop
hecy regarding the present world
war 1t was written In 1901 by one
of the monks on parchment that is
now yellow and scared with age. 1t
is now on exhibition In glass case
In the city hall of Wismar. So much
publicity has been given to the pro-
phecy in the papers Of Germany that
thousands have fiocked to Wismar to
see it,
The prophecy not only gives the
cause of the war, but also indicates
the countries engaged. Up 10 the
present it has been amazingly ac-
curate. 1t does not exactly state that
Germany will be victorious, but indi-
Gates how long the war will last,
when the decisive battle will be
fought, and where and when peace
will come, and adds that Germany
will continue to exist as a power for
writing on the parchment Is as fol-
lows:
"When Malignity and Hatred Rule"
Lord, have mercy on thy people
despite the fact that they are turning
more and more away from thee; that
they are destroying thy inconsistencies
and cloisters and forgetting thee. A
time will come in Europe when these
people will feel the weight of thy
hand, when malignity and hatred will
rule. 1t will be at time when the
papal seat will be vacant, and the
confagration will come as the result
OF the murder of prince. Seven ma
tions will rise against the eagle with
one head and the eagle with two
: heads. The birds will defend them
selves furiously and viciously with
their talons, and their wings will pro-
tect their peoples. A price from their
