FORETELLING THE END OF THE

WORLD. The Be?. Mr Baiter, a clergyman of the Church of England recently delivered throe lectures on prophetic events, in Hope Hall, Liverpool. He said that the last day of this age would bo at three o'clock on Thursday 11th April, 1901. He claimed to be the discoverer of the last day, but he did not expect much credit from the people for discovering it—(Laughter.) The people of this generation did not believe it was a discovery at all. Time, however, would show to them that what he said was true. Before then England would become separated legislatively, if not entirely, from Ireland, India, and its colonies. England would shortly h° n the waters of deep trouble, and would become part of the ten kingdomed confederacy. Antichrist would be *a Napoleon, and ho would rise no later than ■ 1892 or 1893, about eight or nine years before the end of the age. Napoleon, as Antichrist, would first be king of Syria for two or three years before reviving the Napoleon dynasty over Prance and Europe. ] It was probable that Luoien Bonaparte, who | was now a cardinal, would be the Antichrist. Next year or the year after would witness a tremendous war between France and Germany. Germany would be conquered by France and driven altogether across the Rhine. Luxemburg, Belgium, and the Prussian Rhine provinces wonld be annexed to Franco, France' would be a great leader in the ten-kingdomed confederacy, and England would be more or less subjugated to her. What a sad downfall for England, especially when one recollected the saying that one beef-eating Englishman was equal to two frog-ealing Frenchmen I —(Laughter.) In the war between France and Germany tens of thousands of the finest men in those countries would be slain in battle. Many a young man in England who had never handled anything more formidable than a steel pen or a cricket bat would in the next few years have to handle a musket and I a sword and smell powder.—(.Laughter). The young men and women before him in ten years time would be out off, and so would the more elderly people. It would not make much difference to people who were fifty or sixty years of age, for in the natural order of things they could not expect to live more than ten years longer. To young people, however, the difference was enormous, for in place of having forty or fifty years to live on this earth, they had only got at the outside ten years. —(Laughter), Many of them would be killed amid the scenes of carnage and bloodshed shortly about to take place, He predicted that a universal war would rage from October, 1896, to August, 1897, and that then would come three and a half years of greit tribulation, or the period of the last Antichrist’s persecution, He stated that millions of Christians would be beheaded for refusing during that period to worship Antichrist or his image, lecturer gave the date March to October, 1896, when 144,000 watchful Christians would ascend from earth to heaven, The descent of Christ at the battle of Armageddon to destroy Antichrist and to begin the Millenium ha fixed as the 11th April, 1901. The lectures were illustrated by a numbsr of diagrams depicting horns, beasts, and symbolical figures mentioned in Daniel and Revelation, The lecturer challenged any Minister or individual to show that he had made any mistake in the facts ha had mentioned, and added that to comprehend these things his hearers must take the eyeglasses of Daniel, the speolales of Revelations, and the telescopes of Isaiah and Ezekiel. David Samuel was fined 20s and costa fur selling light weight bread at Dunedin. At Dunrdin oo Thursday a man named Peter Dow was fined £3O with cos's for unlawfully conducting a scheme by which prizes of money were competed for by a game of chance. He was operating on The Melbourne and New Zealand Cups. Certainly the most effective medicine in the world is SANDER & SONS’ EDO ALYPTI EXTRACT.
