THE STORY OF THE SEER OF PATMOS

Stephen N. Haskell

“Seal not the sayings of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at
hand” Revelation 22:10.

South African colonies failed to profit by their

opportunities, but in America both

Protestantism and democracy-freedom to

worship, and the equal rights of men in civil

affairs,-blossomed and bore fruit in the

Constitution of the United States. During the

first half century of this nation’s existence, it

was watched with a most critical eye by

monarchs and statesmen of Europe. But as the

government grew stronger, and one state

after another was added; as its ministers

received recognition in foreign courts; and as

its products were sought in foreign markets,

the people of European governments saw,

that democracy was no longer an experiment,

but a possibility.
