"THE PERIL OF THE REPUBLIC."
In one of the Readings in the Week of Prayer—“The Sign of the Final Sign”—there was pointed out the important place among the signs of this time that is occupied by the apostasy of this nation from the principles of republican government, and attention was called to how far this apostasy has already progressed. Prof. P. T. Magan, of Battle Creek College, has written the history of this apostasy up to the end of 1899. This history has been printed by the Fleming H. Revell Company, of Chicago, under the expressive and impressive title of “The Peril of the Republic.” In the history of the principles of this republic and the apostasy of this nation from its principles as a republican government, this book—“The Peril of the Republic”—stands just as “The Two Republics” and “The Rights of the People” stand in the history of the apostasy of the nation from the principles of its Constitution as a Protestant government. And as it is the apostasy of the nation from the principles of its Constitution as a Protestant AND republican government, that constitutes the complete sign; so this history of the apostasy of the nation from republican principles is just as important and just as much to be studied and understood by those who would be ready, as is the history of the apostasy of the nation from Protestant principles. The apostasy from the principles of a republic is the inevitable consequence of the apostasy from Protestant principle. If you would know this most important history of this time, you will have to read “The Peril of the Republic;” for the history is given nowhere else. The book is handsomely bound in red cloth, has 196 good-sized pages, and the price is one dollar. Address Fleming H. Revell Company, 63 Washington St., Chicago; 158 Fifth Avenue, New York City; or 154 Yonge St., Toronto, Ontario.
