Jehovah is the only God, and the signs which he hath in all ages given of
himself, O king, are abundant. We hear much of the exploits of the gods
of the heathen; but of these performances there are no proofs, and they
exist only in the imaginations of their worshipers. Not so with our God--
the God that made the world. The history of our nation, which history no
one can gainsay, is an assemblage of miracles. Examine the records of our
historian Moses, who conversed with God face to face. Our God brought us
out from under the dominion of Pharaoh with a strong hand and an
outstretched arm. He gave evidence of his presence by the infliction of
twelve terrible plagues on the king of Egypt and his people. He opened
before the Hebrews a passage through the sea, and brought them dry-shod
to the opposite shore. For forty years were they fed with manna from
heaven, while water was called forth from the flinty rock. And as the
waves of the Red Sea were parted before them as they left Egypt, so, in
like manner, were the waters of Jordan parted as they left the plains of
Moab; and thus were they settled in the land of Canaan.
