OUR COUNTRY,

THE MARVEL OF NATIONS.

ITS PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE, AND

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS OF IT.

BY URIAH SMITH, Author of "Thoughts on Daniel and the Revelation," "The Sanctuary and Its Cleansing," "Smith's Diagram of Parliamentary Rules," "Man's Nature and Destiny," etc.
The past of our country is read in history; its present is before the eyes of every wide-awake observer; its future—what is that to be? We may judge something of the future by the past and the evident tendencies of the present; but who would not like to read it in a more certain light? A book is now offered, carefully and candidly discussing this most fascinating theme. Present issues are accounted for, and future results clearly shown.

IS THE BIBLE AN OBSOLETE BOOK?

Or do its predictions reach to our own times? Other great nations of the world are subjects of prophecy; why not our own? As surely as history is history, and logic is logic, the Scriptures predicted nearly eighteen hundred years ago the rise of this Government, showing that it would—
1. Arise in the Western Hemisphere; 2. Arise in the present century; 3. Occupy territory previously unknown; 4. Come up peacefully; 5. Reach great power; 6. Proclaim civil and religious liberty; 7. Be a republic; 8. Be a Protestant nation; 9. Be the birth-place of Modern Spiritualism; and 10. Present the most marvelous exhibition of national development the world has ever seen.
So explicit is prophecy in regard to this nation; and the reader will find every point sustained by indubitable Scripture evidence and historical testimony.

THE SUNDAY QUESTION,

Fast coming to be a leading political issue, is discussed from the standpoint of its relation to the Government.
