At II 90 Elder Kauble spoke upon the
Two-horned Beast OF Rev. 1871, apply
ing it to the United States. Protestant
commentators are almost UNANIMOUS
that the first beast of that chapter rep
r~esents the papacy, and the United
State is the only government in the
world. in the time and manner OF its
rise. and also in it's characteristics. But
the United States does fill the bill in all
these particulars. 1t was coming uT

~papacy was practically o%verthrown, and
it possesses the characteristics repre-

:. contains a message warning against th
worship of the beast and his image, an
that is the message for this time.
