TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD:-
In opening up the prophecies. afYccting the
Papacy you have truly touched q chord that viii
vlbrate through the whole earth. 1t Is the live
subject OF this day; and above all the wonderful
things that you have yet done in the way of-and
out OF the way ot-journalsm, will show the
HERALD to be- indeed, the true type OF the news
paper Avoiding as much as possible all dogma
and doctrine; but considering the Papacy as o
Power civil or religious, will you allow me to take
a review OF a few OF the prophecies, as they throw
light upon this time and this subjects am not

who believes that we have sure word of prophecy
to which we do well that we take heed as unto
light shining In dark place until the day dawn.
and who would wish to direct attention to the all
portant questions OF the. present. eventfu time.
The second chapter Of Daniel is purely civil.
There Is not an alusiOn to doctrine In the whole
chapter. The King desires to know what shall
become Of his kingdom, and 1t pleased God N re-
veal to him what should come to pass thereafter
That Is, as the sequel shows, from his own day

The Seventh of Daniel goes over the same

ments will destroy all other civil powers This Is
made plain In the prophecies OF the New Tesla
ment. In the Apocalypse there are three different
symbols OF civil power, two Of which are identical
with those in Daniel. In the twelfth Revelations
the symbol is beast with seven heads and ten
horns with crowns upon the heads representing
the civil power when He was born who is to rule
all nations with rod OF iron, but who for the
present Is caught up unto God and to His throne.
In the thirteenth chapter the symbol is beast
with seven heads and ten horns with crowns upon
the horns, representing the civil power which
succeeded when the empire was divided"
This power, will he seen in the NTH verse, has
], 260 years, and is IDENTICAL as must be at once
seen, with the fifth section OF the great image,
the leet and toes and with the ten horns OF Daniel
vii. In all three the modern Kingdoms OF Eu-

heaven sets up HIS kingdom.
In this thirteenth chapter Of Revelations we have
also the little horn OF Daniel vii, beast with
TIVE horns, as a lamb but which spake dragon.
He exercises the power OF the first beast that Is,
the civil power In his presence, or before his face,
or with his knowledge and permission.
In this chapter we have more particularly de-
scrIbed the manner In which the
