with their tap routine with skates
and skiping the rope, These are
mentioned because the judges
though them best and not to mini
mize the accomplishments of the
other performers. And the talent
scouts were there that night with
an ear to the ground and their
eyes on the stage. The show they
saw was good, the possibilities un
limited.
So in the near future with a
little more planning it is probable
that the adjective collosal, gigan
tic and stupendous may have to
be used again to describe other ac
tivities in this direction. So if the
committee were here they would
say thank you everybody for your
fine spirit in uniting and working

privileged children,
A dinner for the judges was
given at the Delaney Hotel just
before the “Stunt Night” pro

and was entered into with joyous
enthusiasm by every one. Nightly
studies in the Scriptures were led
by the Pastor, Rev. Athol D. Cloud.
A spirited interest was manifest
ed in the services *as a whole by
both old and young—including an
unusually fine body of children.
And the blessings which have
come from the singing of great
Christian hymns, the inspiration
of special music and the study of
great Scriptures will surely con
tinue to bring their benediction
upon the life and work of the
I Church and the people of Porter

reached by these services. There
i were five who made thir profes

THE COVINGTON NEWS
Mother Shipton’s Prophecies
500 Years Ago Come True
Much that Mother Shipton pro
phesied nearly 500 years ago has
come true.
The prophecy has been printed
j n many newspapers throughout
j the nation. Surprising it is as to
its accuracy, and the next-to-last
verse appears particularly timely
and apt.
Mother Shipton wrote her pro
phecy nearly 500 years ago, She
was born in Norfolk, England, and
died in Clifton, Yorkshire, in 1449,
43 years before Columbus discov
ered America.
Her interesting prophecy fol
lows:
A carriage without horses shall go,
Disaster fill the world with woe;
In London Primrose Hill shall be,
Its center hold a Bishop's See,
Around the world men’s thoughts
shall fly,
Quick as the twinkling of an eye.
And waters shall great wonder do
How strange, and yet it shall come
true,
Then upside down the world
be,
And gold found *t the root of
tree;
Through towering hills proud man
shall ride,
Nor hoss nor ass move by his
side.
Beneath the waters men shall
walk;
Shall ride, shall sleep, and even
talk,
And in the air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, as well as
green.
A great man then shall come and
go,
For prophesy declares it so.
In water from then shall float
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found in stream
stone,
In land that is as yet unknown.
Water and fire shall wonders do,
And England shall admit the Jew.
The Jew that once was held
scorn,
Shall of a Christian then be born,
A house of glass shall come to
pass
In England—but, alas, alas!
A war will follow with the work
Where dwells the pagan and the
Turk.
The States will lock in fierce strife
And seek to take each other’s life;
When North shall thus divide the
South
The eagle builds In lion's mouth.
Then tax and blood and cruel war
Shall come to every humble door.
Three times shall sunny, lovely
France
Be led to play a bloody dance;
Before the people shall be free,
Three tyrant rulers shall she
Three rulers, in succession be—
Each sprung from different dy
nasty.
Then, when the fiercest fight is
done,
England and France shall be as
one.
The British olive next shall twine
In marriage with the German
vine,
Men walk beneath and over
streams—
Fulfilled shall be our strangest
dreams.
All England’s land sons shall plow the j
Shall oft be seen with book in
hand,
The poor shall now most wisdom
know I
And water wind where corn did i
grow;
Great houses stand in farflung
vale.
All covered o’er with snow and
hail. I
And now a word in uncouth rhyme
Of what shall be in future time;
For, in those wondrous, far-off
days
The women shall adopt a craze
To dress like men and trousers
wear,
And cut off their lovely locks of
hair.
They'll ride astride with brazen
brow.
As witches on a broomstick now,
Then love shall die and marriage I
cease,
And wives shall fondle cats and j
dogs,
And men live much the same as
hogs.
In nineteen hundred twenty-six

Sticks

For then shall mighty wars be
planned,
And fire and sword shall sweep
the land.
But those who live the century
through,
In fear and trembling this will do.
Flee to the mountains and the
dens.
To bog and forests and wild fens—
For storms shall rage and oceans
roar
When Gabriel stands on sea and
shore;
And as he blows his wondrous
horn,
Old worlds shall die and new be
born.

earth. Finally, bereft of friends
and loved ones (save a very few
loyal women), tortured because
His love for mankind had been
spumed, crucified because He had
done good, this man of God could
no longer endure the bitter cup
and out of the darkness He cried:!
“My God, my God, why has thou
forsaken me?”
According to Hebrew reckoning
of time, Friday was the day of
preparation for the Sabbath. The.
Sabbath began at sundown Friday
and '
ended at sundown Saturday.
Since no work of any kind was
allowed on the Sbabath it be
hooved the friends of Christ to
bury Him before sundown on Fri
day the “Day of Preparation.”
Moreover, this man had been exe
cuted as if he were a common
criminal and the law required that
criminals be buried the same day
as executed or else they would
turn the very ground sour.
It was customary in those days
for the women to make prepara
tion for the burial of the dead, but
such haste was required to bury
the Lord before the Sabbath that
this was postponed until the Sab
bath was over. How long that Sab
bath day must have seemed to
those loyal souls who wanted to
put a final touch of love upon
their buried leader. How those
who hated Jesus must have boast
ed of their evil deed on that Sab
bath day. How they must have
mocked the Master and said “I
thirst,” and it was then remem
bered! that he was handed a
sponge soaked with vinegar mixed
with gall. We can hardly conceive
the torture of those souls who
loved Jesus, and what they must
have endured that Sabbath day.
But the harder trial was yet to
come. One can somehow bear up
under such difficulties while it is
day—the warmth of the sun seeks
to cheer the soul—the voices of
friends try to comfort. It is when
the curtain of night is drawn that
sorrow becomes overwhelming. It
is then that one feels forsaken
helpless. We become keenly aware
that the sun is gone, the darkness
is cold and penetrating—friends,!

iting the tomb on the Sabbath—the
approaching night was something
to be dreaded. The night did come.
And how long it must have seemed
to those heavy hearts, those tired
bodies fatigued by the ordeal of
the previous week. How they must
have longed for the first sign of
morning when they might go
forth and anoint the body of their
deceased leader.
The first day of the week
dawned. “They came unto the sep
ulchre at the rising of the sun . .
they were confident that the sun
would rise, we might say that we
wish they had been as confident
of a new revelation of God's love
as they were sure of the new day.
But soon they became more con
scious of that revelation than any
thing else. A new day! The rising
of the sun! A new revelation of
God’s love for man! It is little
wonder that Christendom stands
with bowed head before the un
speakable gift of God's love this
day.
The rising sun bears a deep
analogy to God's eternal love. It
has been shining as long as man
has inhabited the earth, God’s love
hag existed equally as long. In
coming in contact with the light
the light of the sun some objects
have been stubborn, not allowing
the rays to penetrate; other objects
have reflected the sun's rays but
in a poor and lifeless sort of way;
still other deflected and perverted
the light so freely given. Some
also would seem to be the case
with regard to men concerning
God’s love. There have been men
llke , „ Enoch ’ and Elljah ’ and „ M °~
ses, who to some degree have re
flected the true light of God’s
love and character. There have
been others in the past who have!
deflected the warm, fluid spirit
and will of God into the cold
molds of scarifice and ritual.,
There have been others, prophet:
and saints of the past who have
allowed God's love to shine
through them to a marked degree,
but they did not completely allow
its goodness to possess them, hence
the selfish and the selfless seem
strangely intermixed. But One did
come who was daring enough to
allow God's will and love to com
pletely possess him. Perfect obed
‘ Father’s
ience to the Heavenly
will brought rebuke and criticism,
it is true. Sustaining the filial re
lationship made enemies, yes- Ful
filling what he was convinced was
his life's work brought death. But
what are rebukes, and criticisms,
and enemies if one is allowing
God’s will to reign supremely?
We take up our story where we
left off. It was this young man
whose death we were describing—
this obedient son was Jesus of
Nazareth. This one who allowed
the full play of God s spirit in his
life was Christ. It was early in
the morning that his friends came
to pay him tribute, “they came
unto the sepulchre at the rising
of the sun, but they found him
not.” “He is not here,” they were
“told, He is risen.” By allowing
Gcgl to have complete control of
His earthly life He became “the
first fruits of them that slept.”
“But some one will say, how are
the dead raised? . . ■ Thou fool
ish one that which thou thyself
sowest is not quickened except i'
die as we have borne the im
. . .
age of the earthly, we shall ab
bear the image of the heavenly!”
