the 4. 5, Gand 7 of May : they were as
long as my arm. and with a dry grin,
which looked horrible. I told the Mes-
Wenger editor early in the spring we
would m t have much change until
about the Sih of May to the first of
June, and that we were liable to have
an excess between the Sth of May
and June 1st.
Did any of you ever know Noah?
He maele a weather forecast, stating
that it was going to rain out of the
elements, ami there would be a flood,
and be wanted everybody to build an
ark to live in until the rains were
over. They laughed him to seorn, and
said lie was crazy, or had gone fool.
They just kept on laughing until it
rained, and they finally hail to climb
trees and finally they had to swim
until they gave up. Now we are using
their oil to run our automobiles with.
Some fellow said Noah made a mis-
take by taking flies, mosquitos' ami
such things, but Noah never took in
anything; they all had more sense
than all the people: they came in on
their own accord.
Elijah made a weather forecast
once, and when it began to take effect
the people ran him off in the moun-
tains for three years and six months,
ami when he came down he told them
to call on their false god for rain, ami
they did, and Elijah called louder
"maybe he’s asleep.” Then Elijah
told them to pour water on his alter
and dig a ditch all around it and fill
it full of water. ami then Elijah call-
ed on the living God to semi fire
down from heaven to ci nsume .he al-
ter he had built, and fire came down
and licked up everything, ami God
ordered Elijah to pursue them, and
he killed three hundred of these false
prophets.

ready to take place: save all your
