forward wiih increased courage, and the certainty
of success, BY the more word Of prophecy

fore us with brighter and brighter indications Of
her purpose, inviting rs TO pursue hor IN her course,
unit, she shall stand sill over our heads, declaring
tho completion Of the work, in the kingdom and
dominion and the greatness of the Kingdom, un-
der the whole heavens, being gwen To tie peoPo
