A PROPHESY.
“And to some the gift of prophesy.” But that was a long time ago, and the people of this mundane sphere have since waxed gross and material, and the gift ha? been withdrawn. Still there are a few prophets kicking round, hut we bel'eve they' are in some way connected with race meetings, picking winners and anything else that comes within reach of (heir digits. Anyhow, an old acquaintance Informs us that he not only prophesied the Tarawera eruption (not after the event, of course), but he also sensed this war and wrote of its coming as far back as 1873. He says the war will end on August 16th, 1916 If this prophesy comes out right, then our faith shall proclaim that he has a steel beak for picking things !
