The Sept. 24, 1909 NYT follows up on yesterday's story concerning the sect planning for the end of the world tomorrow (Sept. 25, 1909):

Three hundred men and women of the Free Christian Society, at their camp five miles from here [DUXBURY, Mass], began at 10 o'clock to-day their final preparation for the end of the world, which they are convinced will come tomorrow night. The service, which consisted of prayer, penitence, and baptism, was observed with fanatical enthusiasm. It is to be kept up until tomorrow night.

Okay, so the moonbats faithful are still at it 24 hours later. But where, you might ask, did they find this prophesy that the wold was to end? From a highly credible source:

Practically all of the 300 adherents of the queer sect have disposed of all their worldly goods in anticipation of the ending of all things. The cause of all this was the revelation that came to Eva Brown of Pawtucket, who declares that the destruction of the world was foretold to her in a dream a year ago.

Yes, there is no reason at all to be suspicious of the claim that whatever Supreme Being there is would choose a generic person in Pawtucket to get the word out.

Was there any specifics on the end of the world? Oh yes:

Believing, as they do, that the top crust of the earth will peel off and that the damned souls will be hurled into a cauldron of boiling fire, the intensity of their closing services may be imagined.

I wonder how the physics of this particular scenario was imagined to play out.

De gustibus.
