Excerpt from A Defence of Armageddon, or Our Great Country Foretold in the Holy Scriptures: In Two Discourses, Delivered in the Capitol of the United States, at the Request of Several Members of Congress, on the Anniversary of Washington's Birthday, 1857

Services AT the capitol. - In place Of the Rev. Mr. Waldo, Chaplain of the House, Rev. F. E. Pitts, of Nash ville, Tennessee, appeared agreeably to previous announce ment, and delivered a discourse on the fulfilment of pro phecy, with reference to the United States. With no leaning to cant or fanaticism, and with no tendencies to a politico-religious sermon, the reverend Speaker entered upon his task of unfolding the prophecies, both of the Old and New Testaments. The events which be detailed with reference to our own country, were made to fit with such surprising chronological accuracy to the predictions, that it was by the almost unanimous desire of a large and atten tive audience that his lecture was continued in the after noon. At the appointed time, three O'clock, P. M., it was no easy task to find a seat in the great hall Of the Capitol, so deeply interested were the people to hear the sequel of the morning discourse, a brief outline of which we are herewith enabled to present to our readers.
