The Hebrews crossed o sea to get rid of bond
age, and their exodus answers to the Puritan
exodus. The Hebrews found frozen sea, and
SO did the Pilgrim fathers.
Joseph had two portions OF old Israel, making
thirteen tribes from twelve. William Penn
owned Pennsylvania aud Delaware. Both men
were imprisoned for their virtues.
Three million Hebrews escaped from bondage.
This was the population of the Colonies in lI76.
At the destruction of the Egyptian tyrant's
forces general thanksgiving to God was de-
creed. The American Congress made similar
decree at the defeat of England.
The Hebrew Confederacy adopted written
democratic constitution did the United
States. In both instances it was submitted to
the people for ratification. These two are the
only written ones known to have been adopted
by any nations prior to lI76.
The Hebrew nationality grew ont of the He
brew Church the American out of the Chris
tiaD. Unbelievers enjoyed equal political privi-
leges with the faithful Hebrews. Both Constr
tutions disunited Church and State. In this
connection Mr.. Baldwin says: THE dsunion
Of Church and State is the great prophetic epoch
OF Liberty and progress, according to both Daniel
and John. 1t is the beginning of tue end OF
despotism. and when it fully prevails the time of
The end will close and despotism will forever
cease on EARTH"
The political officers of the Hebrews were
elective, and foreigners, while they we're allowed
to become naturalzed, could not become Chief
Magistrates. All questions of war and peace
were decided in General Assembly.
These points of resemblance are very striking
when it Is considered that, according to Divine
promise, the restored Israel was to be the coun-
terpart Of the Hebrew Republic in Canaan. In
oil points, the history Of the origin, character
and progress of the United States comedies with
the sun, moon and twelve stars, with the "wo-
man clothed with the sun, and the moon under
her feet, and upon her head crown of twelve
stars" which are all twice-doubled representa-
tions of Israel A woman is d common symbol
OF the church Of God, and stars are the twelve
sons of tribes of Jacob. and represent the civil
department of Gods Israel
From all his studies, Mr.. Baldwin concludes
that in 1878 will begin those events that will
result, IN brief period, in the overthrow of all
Absolutism. By the aid OF the same mathemat-
ical, astronomical and scrptural calculations by
which his first conclusions are arrived at, be
places his prediction on record twenty -four years
ago: That in the year 1873 Turkey will have
been overthrow by Russia; that England will
have had trouble with Russia, aI,i that in all
monarchial Governments Socialist agitations will
have begun destined TO overthrow them, that
Russia will be harassed during this period by Sc
we're internal disturbances, and that an uprising
of Socialist element will take place; Russia
will become the dominant power of Europe, but
will finally yield to Republican principles as rep
resented by the United States. His prediction
that English Monarchy will be overthrow &C.
cords with all English prophecy. John is quoted
as saying "tbe Beast (Russia) shall destroy the
False Prophet (England)," while "the reaping of
the vine and the dreadful flow of blood" symbol.
iZe the overthrow of absolutism. The rising of
revolutionary element is clearly expressed in
Russian Nihilism.
Among other predictions made by Mr.. Bald
win and based, as he claims, on the study of the
Scriptures, is the overthrow of the temporal
power of the Pope, and that France will make
one more effort for freedom, that will pave the
way for the last efforts of European Monarchies
to destroy Republican principles. He thinks
that the millennium will begin soon after, but
that 1t will be political rather than q spiritual
redemption.
Right here l may quote remark of Louis
Kossuth made many years ago: II predict land
the Eternal God bears my predietion), that there
can be no freedom for Europe, and that the Cos
sacks from the shores of the Don will water their
steeds in the Rhine"
MIR. Walter, proprietor of the London Times,
is on record as believing that at the end of the
nineteenth century there will be but two first
class powers. Russia and America, an opinion
based on his extensive travels in both countries.
Tourgeneff says: "In century there won't
be king in Europe. except perhaps in England,
and there will be nothing but d pageant-a po-
litical mummy shown to the populace at so much
q head"
The times are certainly significant of the ap-
proaching political redemption of mankind and
republicansm to-day is making enormous strides
10 1861 the crowned heads of Europe pointed to
the seemingly near dissolution of the American
Republic and asserted that Republicansm could
not exist successfully. The King of Prussia ar
rogantly declared ~ an King by the grace of
God, and not by the will of the people," Would
he dare assert that to-day in Germany? Are
not the sorereigns and their Ministers to-day
doing every thing to coDciliate the people, and
that in the most suppliant manner? The dis
content of the English working classes the feel
ing OF oppression in Germany, the agitation of
the Nihilists in Russia, may well cause alarm to
the hereditary rulers; and when beyond this is
seen France, rich. happy and prosperous. does it
not seem as If there was occasion for their genu-
ine fright? The age which has seen the de-
struction OF the temporal power of the Pope aud
the fall oil Turkey may yet behold the death OF
absolutism.
In that remarkable book, "Our Inheritance in
the Great Pyramid" occurs much that is an.
proprate to this subject, aud the most recent 10.
designations OF Egyptian scholars furnish some
facts worthy of serious investigation.
The fact that but one of the thirty eight pyra-
mids is perfect 10 its proportions, and the won :
derful unity in the various proportions OF that
one. have suggested that it was built under Di-
vine inspiration. In all its finished parts there
is not vestige of heathenism nor anything re-

plain and simple and devoid Of the usual en-
graved or sculptured work of Egyptian monu-
ments and buildings. Ancient writer's relate
that it was built under some mysterious compnl-
sion, which would account for the absence of the
usual decorations. According to these writers
the Egyptians hated and yet feared the power
that was compelling them to build it, In its
nature and conception it was so grand and pure
that its architect must either haze bad superhu-
man ability or else was divinely inspired.
can only give brief synopsis Of Professor
Smyth's conclusions leaving the reader to pc
ruse the book for himself if be is dissatisfied
with the statements Until 1859 comparatively
little OF the mystery of the pyramid was solved
ln that year John Taylor, of Scotland. began a
new series of scientific measurements calculated
to prove BY the actual facts of ancient Masonic
construction in number, weight and measure,
and BY other reasons that were sound and Chris
tiau, that the builders of the pyramid were of
the chosen race. These show that the con-
struction of the pyramid betrays an exact nu-
