Just what the prophecy represents: an image to the papal beast, endowed with life by the two-horned beast, to speak and act with power. And are there any indications of such a movement?

Well, Gentlemen, we have a race of agitators all over the country; some connected with the press, some, I am sorry to say, belonging to the learned professions.

He hereupon gave large play to these things, agitating his hat and his stick and loudly calling out a demonstration that brought him relief as soon as he had seen it answered.
