A PROPHECY.
Bishop Turner, of the African Methodist Church of Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee, is reported to have said in June 1886 : — " I admire the great inventions of white men, and especially in controlling electricity; but the the subjection of God's agent is carried too far in making it light the world. This has already changed the metorology of our country. Look at the floods, hurricanes, cyclones, and other atmospheric disturbances taking place in the heavens and upon the earth. I predict that the unbalancing of the air currents which electric lights are causing will,, in a few years, if they increase in numbers as fast as in the last five years, cause whole cities so be blown away at a time, and floods unlike, any save Noah's." — ' Electrical Eeview.'
