To the Editor OF The Inter Ocean
Will you please reprint the entire
article OH the Eastern war, as pre-
dicted by Mr.. Baldwin, the same as
appeared in your edition of Oct. %,
1878. 1t is asking good deal, but I
have often wanted to see the paper
since, without being able to find it.
A SUBSCRIBER.
We have received SO many requests
similar to the above that We repro
duce the prophecy, which is based on
the last six verses Of the eleventh
chapter of Daniel. 1t shonld be re-
membered that the Interpretation of
the verses, as given below was made
twenty-four years ago. and was pub
lished in the Inter Ocean of Oct. %,
1875, when it looked as if peace was
to be maintained.

4 book out of print entitled AR
mageddon, or the United States in
Prophecy written by the Rev. S.
d. Baldwin, u Presbyterian minister
Of Nashville, Tenn, then President
Of Soule Femaic. College, but long de-
ceased, was published in 1854. When
the work appeared it attracted very
wide attention. Among the predie-
tions was a bloody and furious war to
begin in 1861, and end on the llTth
day of lS65--a war which exactly
fnlfills the term of the late rebellion.

sherman in April 20, 1885. and thus
terminated the array of arms. From
this exposition Of the prophetic parts
of the Bible we copy as follows
And at the time of the end This
period was to be that between the
first and last endings OF the three and
Il half times, or between 1875 and
1878, or between the 1870 and / 1886
days. During this period this willful
king was to come to his end; but,
before his end, he has to engage in
war for some outlying countries, and
was to be interrupted ny twol great
powers. but was to conquer and pros

monarchy power represented by the
image that WAS to be broken by the
stone tsince it was Rome.) it is evil

and must be the empire represented
by the septimo-octaye head Of the
beast in Revelation. Now the great
power which fills half of Europe and

therefore must be the power intended
as falling in the holy mountain. Now,
Us Ezekiel. almost literally, describes
Russia as falling on the mountains CT
Israel, in the latter dav he furnishes
further evidence that the fourth
kingdom. in the time Of the end, was
to be resurreeted in or by Russia.
The willfui kingdom was m aatoerat
