having left Ireland rather than re-
side among the seed of Ham,
which had been cursed by Noah.
The author of "prccursory proofs
that the Israelites came from Egypt
into Ireland and that the Druids
expected the Messiah" undertook to
show that the Fomorians were of q
higher origin than even the
NIilesians. He asserts that some of
the tribe of Joseph were separated
from the Hebrew family at a very
early period; that they were the
heirs Of worry singular blessings for
the latter days, and that they were
the Fomorians from Africa who
made settlements in Ireland"
"Students Of this historical theory
find it's confirmation in many
Scriptural texts in tho Rabbinical
writings, in coins, ancient monu
ments and customs, rs we'll as in the
admitted similarity between the
Irish and Hebrew languages. The
feature last named is peculiarly
marked and forcible. In fact it is u
compound of the Hebrew and
Ph9nician. General Vallancy
found several Thousand almost iden-
tical words in the two tongues.
The Druid circles, which have been
q source Of SO much mystery to
antiquarians, the altar stones and
cromlechs,all find ready explanation
by tho hypothesis that they were
corruptions of the ancient Hebrew
religious ceremonial.
"The period of greatest prosperi-
ty enjoyed by the early Irish settlers
was during tho reign of Ollan
Todlah, $50 B. @. He instituted
the Fes, triennial parliament
which was held at Teamor or Tarah.
1t was about this time the prophet
Jeremiah fed from Palestine, taking
with him Tephi, tho Kings daugh-
ter, the seed Of David, md went to
Ireland. He carried also the Ark
of the Covenant and tho tables of
the law. He went to Tara, also
called Lothar Croflin. Tephi he
married to King Eiocaid. Tara was
made the capital of the kingdom,
and the daughter of tho house of
David was buried there. From her
sprang Fergus, King of both Ireland
and Scotland, and from him came
Kenneth, the progenitor of the
house of Stuart. Queen Victoria is
q desccndcnt of tho Stuar ts, and in
her, according to Dr. Wild, is full
filled the prophecy, "The seed of
David shall not want man upon
the throne.
"At Tara also Jeremiah instituted
q degree in Masonry. He became
the Grand Master of the order, and
his new degree, it is said, was insti-
tutcd for tho purpose of keeping
alivo tho knowledge of the hiding
place of the Ark of tho Covenant and
the tables of tho law, which he had
buried under nine arches. This
Masonic degree is the highest in the
order, and no more than nine mem-
bers can belong to it, Scriptural
prophecy for this DR.. Wild finds in
Jeremiah ill.,, 16: "And it shall
come to pass when ye be multiplied
and increased in the land in those
days, saith the Lord, they shall say
no more the Ark Of the Covenant Of
the Lord neither shall it come to
mind ; neither shall they remember
it ; neither shall they visit it neith-
er shall that be done any more"
DR.. Wild said further that Jere-
miah was really the true ST. Patrick,
which name was corruption Of the
Saint of the Patriarchs. All Irish
mon admit that the reputed saint
was a foreigner. The future of
Ireland under the prophecies is to
bo grand, but only for Israel md
tho Canaantish proselytes. All elso
are to die or bo scattered from the
island. It is written of them
"For it shall como to pass in that
day, saith the Lord of hosts, that +
will break his yoke from off thy
neck, and will burst thy bonds and
strangers shall no more serve them
selves of him but they shall serve
tho Lord their God and David their
king, whom T. will raise up to
them" Jeremiah xxx, 81
