THE END OF THE WORLD.
BECRETS OF THE PYRAMID OF GIZAH.
The Rev. Prebendary Webb Peploe was recently saddled with the statement that the end of the world, would occur towards the close of this year. He was how-. lecture qvér, quoting from a which impressed a. select audience in Chelsea to such an extent that they broke up the meeting by'a riot of questions,
The lecture took place at a house in Oakley Street. Chelsea, and the lecturer was a Mr. E. W. T: Macdonald, of Hendon.
An Evening Standard represent- ative found Mr. Macdonald in London on June 20th, and asked him to tell the worst all over again. He seemed very suspic- fous of any kind of publicity, and stated that for ten years he had. been anxious to avoid it.
**All my conclusions are drawn from ten years deep; study of the Great Pyramid at Gizah." he said.
This is the pyramid stated by Dr. Wallace Budge, keeper of the Egyptian antiquites of the British Museum, as having been built in the Fourth Dynasty (about B.C. 3733) by King Cheops. The imaginations of many have run riot over this pyramid," he writes. "and it has it formed the subject of of many theories. It does not contein chambers filled with precious stoness and never did; it was never one of Joseph's granaries, it being in fact, wholly unsuitable for such a purpose; it was never used as an astronomic- al instrument, and it was not built by or for any of the patriarchs mentioned in Holy · Scripture. It is a tomb, and noth- ing but a tomb."
But Mr. Macdonald has his own ideas about the Pyramid, and will: substantiate them by 100 coloured charta of enormous dimensiona, which he has drawn up to prove his theory.
"I believe the great pyramid was built by Nosh and his people, under the influence and inspira. tion of Melchizedek," said Mr. Macdonald, "as a sign för future ages. I believe that all things from the beginning of time to the end of the world are already mapped out, and those who have the key to the mystery of the pyramid can unlock these astounding secrets."
Mr. Macdonald then plunged into a very deep and mysterious- explanation of the significance of chronology. He remarked on the magic meaning, of numbers, and
talked of "nodular curves." In brief, he has reduced the pyramid to an intricate raass of mathema- tical figures and geometric angles and degrees, from which he
claims to be able to see. as it were, the past and future of the world's history!”
"Each nation has been granted a certain period to work out its destiny" be continued. "and I сап see in my mathematical charts the end of Greece and Rome and even such wonderful human achievements as those of Sir Isaac Newton! All these were foretold in the pyramid.
"What is now plain is that 1919 marks the end of one of the world's great epochs. This is not the recent opinion of one who sees vast possibilities in the post- war era. I have seen this amaz- ing change in the world coming for nearly ten years."
"What do you think this new| epoch will be like to live in? Does the pyramid suggest that a pound note will ever be a sovereign again?" asked the writer irreverently.
"The new era will be the millennium. It will herald thei Fourth Coming, which thousands all over the world are waiting for."
"The fourth
"Tes. The first was when Adam was created; the second was, Melchizedek, the third was in Nazareth, the fourth may be in London-and there is
to be a fifth and last. But now the world stands on the eve of the Fourth Coming. All this I can prove by my researches."
"And the crack of doom?" "Of that I say nothing. It is subject which every age
A
revives."
The writer left this earnest mathematician with the impres- sion that he has throughly convinced himself.
His statement that every age takes a kindly interest in the end of the world is very true. Car-
dinal Nicolas de Cusa was sure
