PROPHECY OF II YEARS AGO
BEING REALIZED NOW
Seventh Day Adventist Prophecies Fore
told Present War With Germany
The Stirred BY Spirit
OF Var

l Vi FFol
Twenty-seven years ago, before sub
marine were perfected, and in fact,
when they were scarcely known as a
means of aggressive warfare, Mrs. E.
C. White, for seventy years prophecies
of the Seventh-Day Adventist denomi-
nation, announced to the world that
an undersea campaign of ruthlessness
such as Germany is now waging,
would be carried on. She said also
that thousands of ships would be
hurled into the depths of the sea
Mrs. White, who, at the age of eighty
eight years, died in California two
years ago last July, made her pro.
phecy known through the Signs of the
Times, weekly paper published at
Mountain View, California, on April
81 1890 Since then her prophecy has
been published over and over again
in the different church organs of the
denomination, and has also been quot
ed from the platform by hundreds of
Adventist ministers. Many thousand
members of the Seventh-day Adventist
church possess copies of this and
other volumes Of Mrs Whites writ
! ings which describe, among many
other things, the conditions that
would exist in this time of the earth's
history
Mrs. Whites prophecy about ships
going to the bottom of the seas, which
is now being fulfilled in a very notice
able manner, was as follows:
THE Lord will arise to shake ter
ribly the earth. We shall see trou-
bles on all sides Thousands of ships
will be hurled into the depths of the
sea. Navies will go down, and human
lives viii be sacrificed by the mil
lions. Fires will break out unexpect-
edly and no human effort will be able
to quench them. The palaces of the
earth viii be swept away in flames.
Disasters by rail will become more
and more frequent; confusion, colli-
sion, and death without a moments
warning will occur on the great lines
Of travel The end is near: proba-
ton is closing. o, let us seek God
while He may be found, call upon Him
while He is near"
Mrs. White also made the follow
ing prophecy in 1909. in one of her
works known as Volume Nine, of the
Testimonies for the Church.. She
said:
More and more, as the days go by,
It is becoming apparent that Gods
judgments are in the world In fire
and food and earthquake. He is
warning the inhabitants of this earth
OF His near approach. The time is
nearing when the great crisis in the
history of the world will have come,
when every movement in the govern
ment of God will be watched with in
tense interest and inexpressible ap-
prehension. In quick succession the
judgments of God will follow one
another-fire and flood and earth
quake, with war and bloodshed
THE world is stirred with the
spirit of war The prophecy of the
eleventh chapter of Daniel has nearly
reached its complete fulfillment.
Soon the scenes of trouble spoken of
in the prophecies will take place.
I'VE are living in the time of the
end. The fast fulfilling signs Of the
times declare that the coming of
Christ is near at hand The days in
which we live are solemn and import
ant. The condition of things in the
world shows that troublous times are
right upon US. The daily papers are
full of indications of a terrible con-
fict in the near future. Bold rob
berries are of frequent occurrence
Strikes are common. Thefts and
murders are committed on every
hand. Men possessed of demons are
taking the lives of men. women and
little children. Men have become in
fatuated with vice. and every species
OF evil prevails"
