NOTICE
A World on Fire

We have been taught from
early childhood that the second
coming of Christ the Great
Judgment Day the earth would
be literally burned to a motion
mass, and that God would re-
create this old earth again.
Is such belief reasonable? Is
it scriptural, and in harmony
with Gods declaration that He
created it not in vain, but to be
inhabited; and that the earth
abideth forever?
Surely the winds of strife and
discomfort have been let loose,
and we see Europe today: one
vast confagration of war and
ruin, but the Real Fire that is to
sweep the weole world, is to
come shortly after the conclusion
of this great war in Europe.
This worldwide Social Earth
quake, which will set the world
ON fire, and involve our own
dear country, will be ably dis
cussed in the light of Biblical
Prophecy by A. J. Eshelman, of
Brooklyn, N. Y, at the Court
House, Okolona. Sunday, Feb.
4th, 800 P. M.
