with them it so happens that at the present time I 1 am privileged to reach a high source and some day I 1 houe hone to be able t to tell you more of these experiences per perien lences ces I 1 in keeping with this subject read what was mentioned in joel about the outpouring of the holy spirit on min man and it shall come to passi pass afterward that I 1 will pour out my I 1 spirit dispirit upon all flesh and your sons and daughters shall prophesy your old men shall dream dreams your young men shall see visions and also upon the servants and the hand maids in those lays days will I 1 pour my spirit and it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name ot of the lord shall be delivered Ii these lines are taken from the pamphlet called prophecies of great world changes and the fhe article goes on to state the outstanding characteristic I 1 act of the coming age i is therefore to be a visible outpouring of the spirit of god what are we to conclude will be the nature nare of such 1 a wonderful manifestation the i manifestation of the lord will be in tile the form of affery a fiery magnetism which will descend upon the world on a largo scale as though an ocean of light

message re I 1 1 on ray day back in 1931 ai apropos ot of this th the e angel ange of the lord came down and hovered near the earth sad to watch the carnage there the wrangles in the hearts of men and all the desolation wrought upon a land that jonce nee was fair to look upon the gladsome bells ring out their song in spite of weal and woe for peace on earth shall reign once more when man has learned to love his foe and when he learns to give and take and most of all to love then shall he truly make a heavenly p place lace wherein the rove dove of everlasting peace shall reign throughout the days and nights to come A time when earthly life shall be one of everlasting song i of joyous consummation and holy adoration for tile the prince of peace and after all the years of strife WILL pass from memories morles me eve and ir in their stead shall come the beau beautious dous wonders of a clear calm night and with the morning dawn a radiant sight then every being in every land who tries to understand will know the meaning of that song peace on earth good will to man may peace be with you yo and so ended that christmas message full of hope but again only to come to pass as we ourselves w will ill 1 I 1 make it become reality something to strive for however and great a will be our happiness when these e e changes come and we may be among those who are left to carry on the great reat work of the future let us then be un and doing I 1 with a heat beat for ANY fate still achieving still pursuing 1 learn to labor and to wait |
