FOREWORD

So far from claiming originality in what appears in these pages, the writer is glad to acknowledge his indebtedness to the labors of Rev. S. D. Baldwin, a man who lived and wrought under the guidance of the Holy Spirit three-fourths of a century ago. The result of his labors was given to the world in his "Armageddon, or The United States in Prophecy," in 1854, and from this source come largely the thoughts that have found expression in this little volume. For himself, he has only to say: "I believed, and therefore have I spoken."
