Interpretation of prophecy, rather
than as a political problem, the
pamphlet devotes several pages to
the
EASTERN QUESTION,
Which it is impossible to quote,
within the limits assigned to this
article. And according to prophecy,
Turkey is doomed; and however
much some of us may think to dis
pute it, is at the present moment
dying. The attempt of the English
government to prop up Turkey and
keep her ON her feet will not ulti-
mately be successful. 1t will not be
long before Russia is at CONSTANT
nOple; and then, with immense re-
sources, she will commence to play
a part in which no nation has ever
played before; and a part, which in
the providence of God, shall end in
her own destruction. Russia, as
another stage in her march for the
east, has her eye and her lust upon

writer launches into a eulOgium of
the Jews as a race. Lord Beacons-

kind in his new novel "EndymiOn. "
1t is worth while printing the pas
sages in parallel columns. In this

referred to will become apparent:

Once more returning to the PAM
phlet, the writer continues: THE
Holy Land is still the land of the
Jews; they are the kings of the
east and are thus spoken of in Re-
violation xvi, y. The decay and
near consummation of the effete
Turkish Empire is simply Gods
providence preparing the way for
