Observations and Reflections 371 



A.D. 20 12. What a garden of delight the land will then 

 present to view! What a noble group of happy and 

 prosperous nations will then exist, covering the con- 

 tinent, the wastes redeemed, the spirit of unhallowed 

 rivalry and jealousy abolished, and the blessings of 

 world-peace prevailing! If men are wise and good- 

 natured, as they may be; if they come to know each 

 other, as they can; the Millennium need not long be 

 deferred.
