TURKISH EMPIRE’S DOWNFALL.
REV. DR. NEWMAN, of the Metropolitan church, Washington, D. C., preached last night the second of a series of discourses he has prepared on the “Rise, Progress, and Fall of the Turkish Empire.” The learned doctor interprets, with much plausibility and ingenuity, certain prophecies of Daniel and Revelation as referring to the Turkish Empire, and as pointing directly to its certain and total destruction within a brief period. He demonstrates the Turkish Empire as the most cruel, heartless, vile and wicked of all the nations of the earth, and declares it to be the duty of England, France, Germany and Italy to unite with Russia in its overthrow. Believing, as the doctor does, that the prophecy of Daniel, “He shall come to his end and none shall help him,” refers to Turkey, he says of that Empire, “Her die is cast, her funeral knell is sounded;” that “no Christian nation in all Europe will dare help her, and that Russia will sweep the accursed Empire from the face of the earth.”—Chicago Evening Journal.
