The End of the World.

" Various ministers and laymen well versed in prophecy" have been holding a " prophetic conference" at Exeter Hall upon " coming great events." lam very sorry I was not there, for it is abundantly clear that I missed having a good time, Several very interesting questions seem to have been settled to the full satisfaction of those who settled them. We all feel a certain curiosity as to the date of the end of the world; and it will be somewhat of a disappointment to the younger of us to be informed, upon the unimpeachable authority of a prophet, that we have only thirteen years longer in which to " run our rigs," The end of tho world has been by this particular prophet for the 11th' •:• of April, 1901; but before the crack of. doom is heard a considerable number of largo orders have to be "filled." Between the present time aud the end of the year 1891 there are to be wars, troubles and revolutions, which will reduce ■ 28 European States to 10. Great Britain is to lose both Ireland and ludia, and then the anti-Ohristj Napoleon, King of Syria, will arise, and a terrible fellow he is expected to ■ to be. On April 21,1804 —this is no . ordinary prophet, but one who gives ohapter and verse—anti-Christ will hiako a sevon years' covenant with the , Jows, and on August 11,1897* he will • leisurely proceed to massacre millions of Ohristains, taking 1,2G0 days in which to do his gory work.
