-[CONCLUDED FROM PAGE 339.]-

Read the history of ancient nations
and the dealings of God with them,
as contained in the Bible and other
historical works. When those ancient
kingdoms and peoples became wicked
and corrupt, when they turned away
from all that was virtuous and holy,
the Lord raised up prophets to warn
them; and these prophets, though
perhaps unpopular in the eyes of
those with whom they dwelt, warned
these nations and cities of the judg-
ments that would overtake them.
What followed the warnings of these
prophets? Read of the fall of the
mighty cities of Thebes, Nineveh,
Memphis, Tyre and Sidon, Babylon
the Great, and Jerusalem itself. All
these great and mighty cities and na-
tions were warned by the servants of
God of the judgments that would
overtake them. Did the inhabitants
of those cities believe the words of
the prophets? They did not. But did
those words come to pass? They did;
and those cities were laid waste and
their inhabitants destroyed. Thus
the words of the prophets and inspired
men were fulfilled to the very letter,
not one jot or tittle failing unfulfilled.
And yet the infidel says there is no
God. These same prophets and pa-
triarchs also saw, by vision and reve-
lation, our day; they pointed out the
generation in which we live, and they
all declared that, in the latter days,
the God of heaven would set His
hand to gather together His people
and establish His kingdom. The
Revelator St. John also declared what
should come to pass in the latter days.
In the 14th chapter of Revelations he
says:

"And I looked, and lo, a Lamb
stood on the Mount Zion, and with
Him an hundred forty and four
thousand, having His Father's name
written in their foreheads."

These one hundred and forty-four
thousand were sealed out of all the
