scy Is ut page $50, and runs thus:
"Before the middle Of the XIX century, sedi-
tons will be excited everywhere in Europe,
Republics will arise; Kings will be put to death
together with the nobility and eccIesiastic,; and
religionists will desert their converts. Famine,
pestilence, and earthquakes will spread desola-
ton over many cities. Rome will lose her saep-
tire by the invasion Of false philosophers. The
Pope will be made captive by his own people,
and the Church Of God will he placed under
tribute, Invested Of its temporal Possessions. In
short time there will be no Pope. A prince
from the north will overrun Europe with great
army, destroy the republics, and eKterminate all
rebels. His sword, welded by God, will vigor-
ousIy defend the Church Of Christ, upheld the
orthodox faith, and subdus the Maho metan

ty Of heart and in the doctrine Of Christ, and

Mr.. EoIroR:-There are certain propositions 90

10 place them in clearer light by means Of argu-

In fact such attempt would but obscure the light
