SEVENTH DAY PEOPLE
TO TENT IN PALATkA
Prophets of Earth's Collapse
Find Here a Rich Field.

Brother" Evers and several of his
co-laborers in the field of Seventh Day
endeavor have been in the city durl lg
the week and have assured The News
that it is their purpose to again erect
tent in Palatka for continuance
of their peculiar doctrines. "The tent
will not be located on the ground for
merly occupied at Fourth and Reid
Streets" said Brother Evers, "but we
seek "a ground centrally located, ac-
cessible, and will continue until such
time as we are able to build I. perma-
nent church house. | want you to
come and hear US"
These Seventh Day Adventists held
nightly meetings in Palatka for sever
al months and during their efforts
procured the acceptance of their pc
culiar teachings by something like a
dozen go d people. They conducted
a vigorous and sensational campaign
for converts, and in the campaign is
sued several challenges to the minis
ters of other denominations, which
went unroticed. One of them was
an offer to bet 81 900 that these min
isters could show no authority in the
Bible fer setting aside the first dav
Of the week (Srnday> for purposes of
rest and worship. 1t was a bold
stroke, but unfortunately our REGULAR
pastors are poor men and do not keep
p fund for sportir~ purposes; and
then they are constitutionallv opposed
to bettino. 9s opposed to the teach
inrs of religion.
These adventist nreachers claim to
he nrorhets: thew hold th9t thcv can
tell what's going TO be. Brother EveTs
has alreadv predicted that there sre
pray haired mollvcoddleS walki"g the
streets of Pal9tka who will not die the
ratural death, but will be on h2nd TO
90 M in the final destruction Of the
earth.

Mrs. F.. G White was their chief
prophecies for nearly seventy years.
Some of these latter dav adventists
are now claiming that it was Mrs.
White and not Jules Vern who fore
told the comirg of the submarine. Her
prophesies were published in Signs Of
the Times, IN Adventist 6rg?n pub
lished in California in 1890 Her IN
dersea proDheSv reads aG follows:
"The Lord will arise to shake terri
bly, the earth. We shall see troubles
on all sides. Thousands Of ships will
be hurled into the depths of the sea.
Navics will 90 down, and human lives
will be sacrificed by the millions.
Fires will break out unexpectedly, and
no human effort will be able to
Quench them. The palaces of the
earth will be swept away in flames.
Disasters by rail will become more end
more frequent; confusion. collision,
and death without a moment warning
will occur on the great lines cf travel.
The end is near: probation is closing.
O, let US seek God while He may
be found, call upon Him while He is
Near"
