Twelve Jews commissioned by the Savior) who
went forth 10 all nations and disseminated the
re"gion winch Is now the faith oil 2oO,OOO,0OO Of
souls He believed the prophecy of Malachi was
near its fnlf'ment. The Jews, he thought, were
soon to be converted to the religion of Jesus and
he dweit fondly and rapturously upon the glorious
success which would attend the missions when
that time should come, and the Israelites them
selves should set to work to convert the heather.
Then. he said, shall the Euphrates be dried up
