THE WORLD IN TIME SECTIONS.

A retired captain hailing from. Australia attempts to split up the history of the world into sections based on a study of the Bible and an eiamicatiou of the Pyramids. These are the days of cryptograms, and the retired captain, instead of fighting his battles over again, buries himself in Bible verses and Pyramid statistics, and imagines himself called upon to preach the gospel of the end of the world to every living creature. It will come, he says, in 193d—just, one imagines, after the retired captain has gone to bis rest. From the beginning of time he brings us through a mystery of figures and phrases, and he splits up modem times in this way:

Daniel xii., 4. —Time of the end.—Word of God unsealed, a.d. 1651. Isaiah xlviii., 61, 7,—Hidden things made known, a.ik, 1818. Daniel xii., 8, 9.—Numbered words measuring time revealed, A. d. 1881 A Revelation x., 5, 6.—The angel announces there is time no longer, a.d., 1928 to 1925-26.

Bevelation iii., 10.—-The hour of trial (fifteen years) church kept from, a.d. 1920 to 1955.

Revelation xxii., 10.—Time at hand for removal of church, a..ix, 1924. Revelation xiv., 6, 7.—The hour of God’s judgment reached, A.n. 1932 to 1934. Revelation xxii., 6.—Days of Son of Man, A.i). 1814 to 1.934. Those who are interested enough, in the Great Revelation can wander through a marvellous maze of ten thousand words, and through many feet of equally marvellous tables; but most of us roust be content, one fears, with the sum-up of it all, which eeemd to be that the Pyramid witnesses to the “end of this dispensation in 1925, and End of the Age in 1934,” the millennium, or 1,000 years of peace and blessing, coming a year later.
