LISTEN TO THIS.

By Uriah Smith

The Christian Statesman of May 13, 1876, noticing an imaginary dream published by J. W. Forney, editor of the Philadelphia Press, in which he wakes a hundred years from now, and finds the English language universal, and all wars done away, &c., says:—

“We have a better ground of confidence that war will soon be turned into peace over all the earth, Col. Forney did not dream of the religious reformation of American politics, or of the incorporation into the fundamental law of the land, of an acknowledgment of Christianity as the national religion. He saw nothing of the impending conversion of the world to faith in Jesus Christ. The most important events of the coming century were hid from his eyes. If he would read carefully the prophecies of Isaiah and the Revelation, he could see more glorious visions with his eyes open than he has ever imagined in sleep.” U. S.
