Meet Osiris. He's Going To ROut Hitler With a Bolt From The Blue
By NEA Service.


 Kbolt from the blue will answer the forces of destruction let loose in8. Hitler's Germany and, amid ofher world calamities, Japan will sink into the sea. a.
 These are coming events, accord ing to the predictions of a new re- ligion whose prophet is Osiris" and whose representative on earth is Walter DeVoe, 66, commander-in- chief of the Army of Benevolence on Earth, with headquarters in Brook line, Mass. ''' .a....
 There are other prophecies not soH comforting. Within two years, wr1tes Osiris in a new pamphlet, earthquakes will destroy large cities ins the United States, ;ltidal waves will inundate low-lyi1g parts of"the eastern and western coasts of America, large areas of the low lands of the Mississippi will become arms of the sea and big new con- tinent will emerge from the bed of the Pacific ocean.
 There are certain important in- tangibleS in the new religion. Somewhere in the blue dwells Osiris, chief executive of the Almighty After 5000 years experience in the heavens, he has attained the wis com and the power to help man. kind in the approaching crisis. His iterature says he has several thou sand million powerful immortals at his command
 DeVoe, sitting in his headquar- teRS in Brook1ine, asserts he has a purpose transmitted to him by OSir- is, viz, to enroll men and women to$ give complete conservation of tune, talents and money to do phy- sical and spiritual work for the bodies and souls of men.
 Osiris gives notice of dreful things in store. A comet is now ing the skies It is a herald of the Afmighty's' will. The minds and bodies of the people on earth are rotten from ages of selfish thinking and living Even the body of the earth is crumbling into decay be- cause of the destructive quality of the mass mind of humanity.
 All this sayeth Osiris, and more. Already the vortex of the comet is producing effects upon the earth and its peoples There will be pro- found changes of climate. The earth, like a human sinner, will shudder and groan.
 But Osiris with hosts of angels is ready to organize on earth. There is hope through repentance and good works Through his agent, Walter DeVoe, he has made known the cause and cure for human ills So now is the time for Americans to act. Only those who SOW their all in service for human welfare at this time will save anything for the future. ' ,-

This is an age of specialization, and

He went on to explain that re-

that modern cars require many diff

be kept efficient to help save gaso-
