w. G. T. U. NOTES.

A most interesting and profitable
study of prophecy was conducted by
Mrs. Frank L. FricAey at the regular
meeting of the w. C. T. U. Tuesday aft
ernoon, October II. Tracing the history
of nations from England to the present
time as foretold by prophetic symbols
in the books of Daniel and Revela-
tions, Mr.. Frickey rehearsed the historic
events of the same period, showing the
marvellous parallelism existing between
the historic and prophetic records. The
prosecuting powers of the dark ages,
from 538 to 1898 A. d. She declared, ac-
c0rding to an almost unanimous agree
ment among eminent students OF the
same, to have been symbolized in the
thirteenth chapter of Revelations by
the beast with seven heads and 10
horns; which was "to persecute the
saints of the most high, think to change
times and laws, and to be given power
over all nations, kindreds, tongues and
peoples for time, times, and the divid
ing of time" prophetic period of just
one thousand two hundred and sixty
years. This time period was fulfilled in
the period during which church and
state united in murder and robbery of
those whose conscientious convictions
prevented them from yielding submis-
sion to the religious laws existing from
53S A. D.-179S A. d., period of just
1860 years.
The two horned beast of Revelations
13 she declared to be the United States,
which coming into being with those two
glorious principles of religious and civil
liberty (symbolized by the "two horns
like lamb" which this beast possess
ed) shall yet speak as the dragon (that
prosecuting power described in Rev. IL
as great red dragon which symbolized
pagan Rome.
This she declared would be accomp-
lished by the union of Church and State
in the enactment and enforcement of
Sunday laws which are religious laws,
which will constitute the erection of
the image of the beast which represent
ed the united church and state of the
dark ages. The prophet states that the
two horned beast shall make an image
of the beast preceding it and shall
cause that all, as many as would not
worship the beast should be killed."

mark in their right hand or in their
foreheads," and that ono man might
buy or sell save he that had the mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number
of his name.
This condition will be fulfilled in the
enactment of religious laws in the form
of Sunday laws, which discriminate
against people who conscientiously OBJ
serve Saturday as the Sabbath, and who
regard the observance of Sunday as the
mark of the beast above referred to in
Rev. 1916 at that time when such OBJ
servance of the Sunday Sabbath be-
comes the great distinguishing differ
ence between the two distinct classes Of
religious worshippers, the one class,
Sunday keepers, the prosecutors, and
the other class, sabbath keepers, (who
observe the Sabbath of the decalogue,
the seventh day. the prosecuted, never
have prosecuting powers be an Christian
in spirit whether Protestant, Catholic
or Pagan in name. Always they are of
anti-Christ in whatever form, place, or
time they may operate. The spirit of
Christ, Truth and Righteousness is new
er manifest in murder, robbery, even
when legalized by the state, but must
always fulfill the righteousness of the
law.

of the spirit of love which maketh no
ill to his neighbor Rom. 1910.
The afternoon study closed with an
exposition of Rev. l4:9, 10, IL, in which
the mark of the beast, against which the
whole Bible are directed, was shown TO
be the assent to that doctrine received
in the forehead on intelligence and man
Tested in the right hand symbol of
obedience to the doctrine and religious
observance which shall distinguish the
religious prosecutors of this generation
from those prosecuted for conscience
sake.
Vote 312 Yes for the repeal of the old
