This north nation was to come like
whirlwind. with his great naval and
land forces, which are Indicated by
"many ships and ''chariots and
"horsemen." The attack was to be
great and furious. but finally nnsuc-
cessful: for the autacrot moves right
on to his purpose, and more than
gains it. according to the prophet.
"He shall enter into the countries,
and shall overflow, and pass over.

mates that this was his original de-
sign. in which he had been inter-
rupted by the two great powers that
had confederated against him. Eng
land OF France, or England and
Turkey, will unite against Russia.
And it seems that a considerable
effort was to be made to check
Russia's design: yet Russia is to take
the countries this side of the cross
ings, and then to pass over into Asia,
it would seem. The word overflow"
signifies the great increase OF his
armies and triumphs. To 'pass over

"He shall enter the glorious land. y
| This at once reveals his advancement
into Palestine, and shows that the
passing over related to the conquest
of Asia Minor, and the Turkish En-
pire generally.
MANY countries shall be over
thrown; but these shall escape out of
his hand. even Edom and Moab, and

This would literally imply the con-
quest of q great portion of Asiatic
Turkey, with some exceptions. These
were conquests in Asia.
'sHe shall stretch forth his hand
also upon the countries, and the land
of Egypt shall not escape" This ex-
preston implies the exertion of Sc
we're sovereignty. African countries
are here referred to, as Egypt is used
as specific for q generic term or a
part of the whole. ''He shall have
power over the treasures of gold and
silver, and over all the precious
things of Egypt"
1.-The Libyans and EtheopiaEs shall
be at his steps" This still further
teaches the unlimited dominion over
Africa in the west and south. Thus
having obtained nearly all Europe,
Asia, and Africa, he becomes indom-
table. and his empire almost limit
less: it emulates old Rome, as the
possessor of three continents.
After giving the above, the Inter
Ocean proceeded to comment as fol-

According to the views of Mr..
Baldwin, the accomplishment Of Dan
iers prophecy was to begin in 1876,
continue through 1877, and terminate
before the close of April. 1878.
Should his representations turn out
to be true, the near future will de-
velop startlinge and profoundly inter-
esting events. In that case. the
efforts of the European powers to
patch up a peace viii prove abortive;
the actual occupation OF the revolted
provinces by Russian troops will take
place, England will oppose the Cars
progress with a sudden. tremendous
onset in magnificent array, but with
ont avail. Russian armies will victo-
riously cross the Dardanelles into
