One of the earnest readers OF this
paper handed in the following re-
markable prophecy this week with
the request that It be reproduced. 1t

"The following world war prophecy
appeared In the Lincoln Free Press.
a German newspaper published in
Lincoln. Neb. The same has been
translated into English by Miss Julia
Ball of Hamburg, Mich. All predic-
tions contained therein up to the
present time have come true, and our

It will be as true:
"A sensational prophecy has just
been brought to light by the breaking
of a wall in the monastery of the Holy
Ghost in Wismar in Mecklenburg: in
Bible found there was parchment
upon which the following prophecy
was written. and which is now under
glass in frame in the court house;
being written in the year 1901 by a
fugitive monk and 1t is as follows:
Master. have mercy upon thy peo-
pie, who have wandered far from
Thee, have demolished Thy monastar-
les, destroyed Thy holy ordinances and
take unto themselves the power.
"A time will come to Europe when
the papal chair is abandoned and a
terrible chastisement follows: wicked
ness, dishonesty and hatred will stir
! up small populsce. and through the
killing of a prince is the torch light
ed.
Seven nations will go against
bird with one, and against a bird with
two heads, the birds will with their
wings protect, and with their claws
defend themselves. A middle ruler
mounts a horse from the wrong side
and a wall is formed around him by
the enemy. The motto of the monarch
will be: With God go forward
1.-The Almighty God will stand by
him from victory to victory, then will
be attacked by great armies from the
east and west and many men will be
slaughtered The wagons will go with
ont horses, buzzing kites will fly
tn ugh the air and spit fire and
birthstone, and destroy cities and viii
lages. \ great many people will hear
the warning OF God, but God will
turn away. Three years and five
months will the conflict rage. Time
VIII come when you can neither buy
nor sell. and your bread will be cut
out and apportioned. The ocean will
be dyed red with blood; men will live
on the ground Of the ocean and lie in
wait for their prey.
The people OF the seven nations
VIII take part in the conflict and the
bearded folk will fall in the rear and
be turned away from the middle. The
entire lower Rhine VIII shake and
.tremble, but not go under, but stand
until the end of time The land from
the west will be the land of the de-
stroyer; the ocean will be free from
Kings. and upon 4 deep wave will the
eNiles come; the bearded folk will
continue to stand. and all the peoples
viii be brought together in sympathy.
and wave be found upon which all
people can stand.
The victor bears a cross. and he

steeples will peace be declared: there
stands cross between two linden
trees; here will the visitor kneel on
benfed knees and with outstretched
arms thank God. The dance of the
ungodly will with the war be done
away with, and again will Gods ordi-
nances be upheld in church. state and
family.
The war will begin when the corn
In the ear bends; will be at its heightb
when the cherries bloom the third
time. and peace be restored at the time
