ions among them, together with the
Servations of Others, have settled
point In my own mind. | have scare
doubt bat that they are. And in
course of my remarks my reason for
conclusion will appear.
About nine hundred and forty-three
years after the Children of Israel came
out OF Egypt, the ten tribes ofIsrael were
carried into Assyria, captiyes by Shall.
maneZer. From this captivity they ne
yer returned, but have strangely dsap-
peared from the world. They are not
in Asia or Europe, they have not ANAL
gamated with other nations and lost their
identity. They are no where TO be found
ca.

bid the belief that they have been annihi-
lated, for they, with the house of Judah,
were to continue a distinct people And
we know the house of Judah is to this
day separate and distinct from all other
people, though scattered 10 the four winds
of Heaven.
