Copenhagen.-In the razing Of thu
old monastery Of the Holy Ghost II
Wlsmar, Mecklenburg, an old Bible
was found which contained a remark
able prophecy regarding the presen,
world war. Ii was written I'm 170l by
one of the monks on parchment that
Is now yellow and scared with age. II
Is now on exhibition In a 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 flockcd 10 Wismar to
see Ii.
The prophecy not only gives the
cause OF the war, but also Indicates
the countries engaged. Up to the
present 1t has been amazingly accu-
rate. 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 ex-
list us power for many years. A
translation Of the writing on the
parchment Is as follows:
"When Malignity and Hatred Ruler

spite the fact that they are turning
mare and more away from thee; that
they are destroying thy monasteries
