Excerpt from Thoughts on the Land of the Morning: A Record of Two Visits to PalestineAs once of old, it was from that country that the Day spring from on high first visited the benighted nations of the earth, so it is his belief, from twenty years' study of Scripture, that light is yet to shine forth mediam from Jerusalem and from her people, and immediately from her King, m perhaps a yet darker day of the Gen files, when darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the nations. Then will an unwonted Morning arise upon the earth, when it shall come to pass that at eventide there shall be light. And, as the writer is led to believe, then through the infinite mercy of God will a brighter morning once more appear, issuing from the Jews, and beginning as of old at Jerusalem.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
