A WARNING.
That it takes all sorts of people to make up a world, is shown by the following quaint epistle received by the Resident Officer ot Rotorua —“ Ponsouby, 15th November, 1912. Your Worship— I am instructed to write to you on account of New Zealand going to be destroyed by fire ; it is part of God’s great plan to bring peace on the earth. A great religious war is to take place in New Zealand. The rebels of Turks, Russians, Chinese, and the worst people out of every nation are coming here to fight, and when they are all collected here God is going to destroy New Zealand and all in it. lam told that God wants all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ to get out of it, go to British Colombo. I have written to the Lord Mayor of Seattle to give you a welcome. A boat will leave Auckland about the 25th of this month to take the people who cannot afford to pay. Apply to the Captain. Only good people can go free. Scandalmongers and hypocrites are not wanted at any price. Put all the children on board first, They all go free. With all the bedding and clothing you can lay hands on, do your best to get all the good people together in time for the free boat. Tell them to bring their valuables with them, as there will be no returning. You must ah get away by the first boat, or you may not be in time.-—I am, yours faithfully, E. W. G.”—Star.
