TH.E
AMERICAN CHURCH OF CHRIST.
Th« UeolXrx© and Fall of* tlie "World's
Monarchy and the Hise of th.e Fifth
Kingdom.
Having noticed that the Jewish Israel
will be restored in America, I will now
proceed to show that the American nation
ality is the great Fifth Kingdom of prophe
cy and, consequently,the true Israel of God.
When man came into possession of the
earth, with all its wealth and glory, he
wielded its energies and controlled its for
tunes, but by his disobedience he lost his
possession, and its dominion passed from
hiln, and he fell into idolatry, selfishness
and death, beyond the power of man or
angel to restore.
But God, veiled in humanity, manifes
ted himself in the flesh, redeemed our race
and established tire Gospel kingdom, that
whosoVer will come,may come and be saved;
and when this Gospel shall have been
preached to all nations, and the fullness of
the Gentiles brought in, the earth shall be
restored to its original intention and to its
rightful owiier, the true Israel of God, who
shall take possession of its wealth, its
grandeur and its dominion.
The true Israel of God are not merely
the righteous descendants of Abhabam, but
the good and virtuous of all nations. “For
as many of you as have been baptized into
Christ, have put on Christ ; there is nei
ther Jew nor Greek, bond nor free ; there
is neither male nor female ; for ye are all
one in Christ J.-sus, and if ye be Christ’s,
then are ye Abraham’s seed and heirs ac
cording to the promise.’’— Gal. Ill; 27,
28,29.

Thus, in a two fold sense, will Israel be
restored. The lost tribes of ancient Israel
from their desolation in America, and the
truelsrael of the Saviour from the long night
of royal-despotism and ignorance into the
morning light and happiness of civil and
religious liberty.
That a general restoration, or final res
titution of all things, as the design of the
Supreme Ruler of the world, no true be
liever in Divine Revelation will deny, since
it has been declared by ali the holy proph
ets as one of the great features of the econ
omy of foe Creator. “Repent ye therefore
aqd be converted, that your sins may be
blotted out, when the times of refreshing
shall come from the presence of the Lord.
And he shall send Jesus Christ, which be
fore was preached unto you ; whom the
heavens mustreceive, until the times of res
titution of all things which God hath spo
ken by the month of his holy prophets,
since the world began.”— Acts. Ill: 19,
20; 21.
The times of the restitution of all things
Will commence when the times of the Gen-
[independent in everything.]

THINKING.
BT AMEBICANDA.
CHAPTER 111.
tiles shall be fulfilled, at the close of the
Fourth and last monarchy, and the seating
up of the Fifth great nationality of the
world in America, which is now opening
up the way for the return of the nations
to the promised peace and happiness of
restored man.
The Divine Governor ol the universe
has given us, in all the force of prophetic
grandeur, three distikict and perfect des
criptions of the four great-kingdoms that
should • rule the nations for more than
twenty threelhundred years, us well as of
that of the Fifth kingdom that God him
self was to set up on the going down of
the last monarchy. 1
In order that the Church might .under
stand both its duty aijd its destiny ou earth,
a stupendous image Of excellent, yet most
terrible aspect: was reared before the eyes
ot the great prophet of Israel, prefiguring
the four great dynasties of the Gentile
world, through all their march ot empire,
down to the setting up of the great free
nationality which is to give knowledge to
the world and liberty to man.
The head of gold represented the proud
and wealthy empire of the Babylonians.—
The jrms and I breast of silver that of the
luxurious and polished empire of the Medo-
Persians. The loini and thighs of brass
that of the strong and heroic empire of the
Grecians. And the legs and feet of iron
that of the bold and powerful
the Romans. While the ten toes of iron
afid clay, that cannot cleave together, rep
resent her ten kingdoms in the- union
of Church and State, which the Stone, or
Fifth kingdom, is now smiting, and will
continue to smite, until tyrany and despo
tism shall be driven from the earth, and
civil and religious liberty command the
world.— Daniel II : 36 to 45 inclusive.
In this terrible image we have the
world’s monarchy in’four great dynasties,
down to the end pf human despotism,
called the time oflho end, and the setting
up of the Stone kingdom that is now smi
ting, by the force of her Republican insti
tutions, the ten toes of the image which
are the representatives of the ten politico
eclesiasficle kingdoms of France, Austria,
Spain, Portugal, Italy. Bavaria, Lombardy,
Yenicia, Naples and Sardinia,four of which
are already absorbed and have lately dis
appeared from the roll of nations. Lombar
dy, Yenicia, Naples and Sardina, are lost in
the Italian sovereignty. Thus, one by one,
will they melt away, until the Fourth and
last great ecclesiasticle monarchy, that is
now trembling to its base, will be laid in
the charnal of its destiny, and civil and
religious liberty embrace the nations.
Tire Fifth, or Stone kingdom, the rock
and strength of all juist governments, is the
great free nationality of America, and is
the only divinely authorized government
on earth. She is a kingdom set up by the
God of heaven, founded on the rock of ages,
established in equity and justice and giving
liberty to the people and knowledge to the
race, owning no king but Christ, no citi
zens but freemen, no teritory but the Con
tinent, no charter but the Constitution, no
religion but the Gospel, and no union but
the sisterhood of States.
But in order that the church might more
fully understand her destiny on earth, the
Supreme Judge of the world has given a
second grand description of the four great
monarchies, under whose crushing sceptres
she was to pass before she could take pos
session of the promised dominion in the
land of restoration ajid happiness.
This second prophetic description brings
into view the four great dynasties of the
world, under the character of monsters.—
The first that appeajrs in sight, as we de
scend the stream of time, is like a lion,
with eagles wings, and represents the Ba
bylonian monarchy, hot only as being sus
tained by the two wings of the Assyrian
and Chaldean powers, but as having the
strength of the lion \ and the swiftness of
the eagle in executing the decress of des
potism over mankind, until the fettered
world was made to rdjoice in his total over
throw by the Medo-lersian monarchy.
Having passed thel first in the descent of
years, we come to the second monster,
which was like a beiju*, with three ribs in
his mouth, and was the representative of
the great Medo-Persian monarchy, holding
the remains of the destroyed winged lion,
or the three-fold empire of the Chaldean,
Assyrian andßabylonian despotism, in the
fangs of his power, as he swayed his sceptre
over the shackled nations until, vvbile glo
rying in his strength, he was overthrown
by the Grecian monarchy. ,
Passing down the stream of centuries, we
come to a third monster, like a leopard, hav
ing four heads and four wings, the represen
tative of the great Grecian monarchy, which,
on the conquest of Alexander, arose into 1
four kingdoms whoich, by the strength of
their armies, conquered the world and ruled
triumphant until they were subdued and
destroyed by the Roman monarchy.
Still passing down the stream of ages,
we come to the fourth andjast monster,
which was one of terrible aspect, having
ten horns and great iron teeth, breaking
in pieces and stamping the nations under
bis feet, and he was the representative of
the Boman monarchy which, wj,th the ten
kingdoms, was to reign until the coming
in of the Fifth kingdom, or until the saints
took possession of the and as the
American nationality is seen rising Just as
the Roman monarchy is goin§ down, she
is evidently the kingdom of which the saints
are to take poessession, and, asthe Roman
monarchy is the fourth and last great
despotism named in the prophecy ot God,
America must be the Fifth kingdom, for no
other nation arose at *he right time, nor
in the right place, nor in the right char
acter, but America, which, covered all over
with the free institutions of Christianity,
stands forth the Fifth kingdom and the
restored.lsrael of God.—Daniel VII: 17,
to 27 inclusive.
But: in order that the church might
cleraly understand that she was not to be
oppressed on earth forever, the Supreme
Judge of the world has given a third grand
discript ion of the great Utonarchies of the
earth, in the character of beasts, as fol
lows: “The ram which thou sawest, hav
ing two horns, are the kings of Media and
And the rough goat is the king
of Grecia, and the great horn that is be
tween bis eyes is the first king. Now that
being broken, whereas four stood up forit,
four kingdoms shall stand up put of the na
tion, but not in his power. And in the
latter time of this kingdom, when the
transgressors are come to the full, a king
of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences shall stand up. And his
power shall be mighty, but not by his own
power, and be shall destroy the mighty and
the holy people. And through his policy
also shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he shall magnify himself in his heart,
and by peace shall he destroy many: be
shall also stand up against the prince of
princes ; but he shall be broken without
hand."—Dan. VIII: 19 to 25 inclusive.
In this third and last description of the
world’s monarchy, (by the Babylonian hav
ing passed away) we have 'a plain history
of the Medo-Persian, the Grecian and the
Roman despotisms, down to the end of hu
man tyrany, and to the time when the
kingdoms of civil and religious liberty shall
be established.
This Fourth and last great monarchy was
to be broken without physical, force, not:
by the marshaling of armies, the roar of
conflict, or landscapes dyed in blood,* but
by the power of a great unborn principle,
brought forth in America, which, by its
great system of free instil utions, has become
the index of nations and the hope of the
world.
The power of the fourth monarchy
first began to - fail in America—that;
power that hall reaped down kingdoms,
reared up dynasties, and drove the world
before it, was unable to plant a single'
colony on our soil, under the statute of
its own church and state authority. Al
though discovered by its own navigators,
and peopled by many of its own citizens,
they stood up for Gospel freedom, until
the starred banner of liberty threw its
protecting folds around a continent of
freemen-
It is the great principle of self govern
ment, as ennunciated in the Declaration
of Independence and in the Constitution
of the American nationality, that is now
dissolving the power, consuming the ener
gy, and bringing to naught the despotisms
of the earth.
This mighty principle is how on its
march of triumph amgpg the nations. It
has reached the vales of Poland and en
twined itself around the hearts of her peo
ple, until standing armies can scarcely
restrain the torrent of its power.
It has entered the valleys'and ascended
the clifils of Switzerland, until every home
is free and every man his own sovereign.
It has gone to the plains of |lungary, and
from the peasants cottage to the nobles
mansion, has planted its freedom in every
breast, until the marshals! legions of des
potism are insufficient to quell the spirit
of its genius or controll the tide of its
power. ;
It has entered the very seat of tyrany
and is emancipating fettered Italy, mid will
not cease until the. imperial despotism of
the Caesars, that have written its eulogeumsj
in the blood of its victims, and published
its conquests in the groans of mankind,
shall be swept from the callendar of time,
and America, like an eternal Sinai, stand
ing amid the liberated nations,* with her
diadem of Stars pointing to heaven, as the
fountain of her power, shall spread her
arms of moral dominion from sunrise to
the horizon of the West, till the last relic,
of tyrany shall lie buried beneath her feet
and her children, siting within the drapery
of her pavillion, shall repose in safety in
the shadow of her glory.
Thus,by three distinct sacred narratives,
have we been brought down, thrrf the pages
of time’s history, to the last of earth’s great
monarchial nationalities, and to thebegin
ing of the new era, when Gpepel liberty shall
triumph' and mankind shall babble to till
the noble intention of his being.
That iwe have passed the four great im
perial despotisms of Bevelatiom’orthatwe
are now living in the last end of the Fourth
monarchy, no candid Christian can deny,
and that we are entering the great Fifth
kingdom, or nationality of promise, no be
liever will venture to dispute. Seeing
that ’there is no nation, kingdom, or gov
ernment on earth, that will fill ihedjscrip
tion of the Fifth nationality but our own
EDITORS AND PI
great America, let us rejoice and thank
God tor the distinguished blearing thuecon- .

A .Snake Story.
One afternoon I seated myself on a Ut
tle knoll in the woods. to smoke and tend,
(for 1 always had a book or newspaper
with me.) and had been enjoying myself
for wane time, when I espied a copperhead
making for a hole within ten feet of when ,
I sat Of course I threw down my hook
and segar,|and proceeded to try a new ex- -
periment
As soon as I stirred, the rascal , made a
grand rush for the hole ; bat I caught bis
tail, as he got nearly in, and jerked him
some twenty feet backward. He threw
himself into a coil in ho time, and waited
for me to pitch in. But 1 concluded to
jet him try the hole again. After awhile,
he started for it, stopping when I stirred,
to coil himself up, but, as I kept pretty
quiet be recovered confidence, and again
went in. ' Again I jerked him out. No
sooner did he touch the ground than he
made another grand rush for the hole,, in
a straight line for my legs! But that
didn’t work, for I got out of the way, and
gave him another fort.
This time belay still for awhile,appear
ing to reflect on the .coarse tp be fokan.—
After a time he tried it again, though
rather slowly. After getting hiahead a
little way in, he stopped, and wriggled his
tail as if on purpose for me to grab it I
did so ; and quicker than a flash be drew
his head Out and came within about aquar
tar of an inch of sinking me in the flux! ,
However, 1 jerked him quite adi&tance,
and resolved to look out the next time.—
Well, he tried the same game again, but
it wouldn’t work ; I was too quick fdr
him. • | ?
This time he laid in a coil some ; minutes
withoutstimng. At last however be tried it
once more. He advanced to wilhinfive
feet of the hole very slowly, coiled again,
and then, by Heavens! he got the start of
me by one of the cutest tricks you ever
heard of.
‘‘How was it I” we all exclaimed in a
breath.
“Why,” said the narrator, sinking his
voice to the acme of and look
ing as honest and sober, as a man could
look, “why, he just turned his head to
ward my hand, and went down the hole tail
first / 1 saw the rascal’s eyes twittkhi as
be did it, too, as much as to say, ‘What
do you think of that, eh ?’ and&inoethen
I have believed that snakes have souls.”
Miles O’Beilly on the 'Nature.'
At a banquet to the Irish Brigade, in
New York, recently, Gapfoin Daily 1 , of the
47th Begimsnt, New York Volunteers, one
of the guests, being called upon for a song,
said be would give them, one which was
very popular in the deparlment he came
from, and which haa dona .much to recon

entered, to the tnne of “die Low-backed
