DANIEL AND THE REVELATION-Uriah Smith

kingdoms of Europe once under the Roman

scepter. They have been there for twelve

hundred and sixty years. If several have had

their names changed, according to the caprice

of him who conquered, this change of name

did not destroy existence. If others have had

their territorial limits changed, the nation was

still there. If others have fallen while

successors were forming in their room, the ten

horns were still there. If, during a few years
