MINISTER-LABORER WORKING
 ON ELM STREET PAVING JOB
Heyworth Mclean, Mender of Highways, Is Also Mender of Souls-Pre.
 dicted World War.

To those who have met him dur ing the week he has been connected with the street department in the capacity of a foreman, Heyworth Mclean, a negro, is the ordinary type of street foreman, perhaps somewhat more conscientious and industrious than the usual director of laboring gangs, but withal only foreman.
 Few know that the city employe who for ten hours each day works in overals and jumper has been more than 20 years a minister of the gospel and in his home city, Hartford, Is known as Rev. Hey worth Mclean, "everybody's minis ter" teacher of violin and a man who in 1912 predicted European war in which the United States would eventually be involved.
 Cultured and Knows His Bible
 MT. Mclean is employed on the Elm street paving job. He is man about 50 years of age, cultured and well versed in the Bible and in cur rent events.
 For more than 30 years he has been engaged as foreman in street construction. About score of years ago he began preaching, fill- ing pulpits In churches, spreading the gospel through the avenue of open-air meetings, and doing welfare work in the homes of the poor and in hospitals. He is d member of the Shiloh Baptist church fin Hartford. MT. Mclean has never been able to devote his full time to the minis try, being the father of a family, but he has given freely of his spare time in the furtherance of his avo- cation and he has during his 20 years as a preacher appeared before congregations of all religious sects with possibly a few exceptions.
 MT. Mclean first came into prom thence in 1912, two years before the outbreak of the European war when he wrote President Wilson predicting world wide conflict in which the United States ould be engaged. In 1914 after the central powers and the allies had engaged in warfare he was asked if he regarded that as complete fulfilment of his prediction. He replied that 1t was but part and that entry Of tho United States, which occurred three years later, would be 8 consummation of the visions that had come to him. His prediction of a World War did not come from Interpretation of Biblical quotations. he says, but from spec tacles that appeared before his eyes. As plainly as he can see his hands, he explains, he could see masses of men making ready for conflict.
 Asked today if he believed there will be another war, Mir. Mclean re- piled In the affirmative, but said it would be a long, long time before the next and worst war the world has ever known would take place.
 End of World Far on
 The question put to everyone who attempts to predict, that of the time the world will come to an end, was next asked of MT. Mclean. His ad- vice was to believe no one. who at- tempts to tell the time the world will end, other than to say 1t will not be for many years. There are signs that must first come, such as the spreading of the Gospel throughout all lands, warfare in which father shall fight son, mother shall fight daughter and brother shall fight brother, the minister-foreman said, quoting the Bible to substantiate his declarations.
 Mir. Mclean is the owner of a violin made in 164S. He instructs In that instrument and has large class of pupils. He is also the lead CT of an orchestra in Hartford, mak- ing him one of the most versatile preachers of the gospel in the world.
