Think of It, sir, the Christians God

one Judas Macibeeus, f0reseeing the
downfall OF his people as nation 30
years ebfore the birth Of the Son Of

Jews from the dreamy lethargy into
which they had fallen and to induce
them to drive the Romans from the
country, But his efforts were In vain
the scepter was departing from Juda.
