In ancient times she stands forth, first among the great conquering nations, next as the only power able to cope with the Roman colossus. In mediaeval times she became the mistress of the intellectual world, the paradise of poetry, the literary center and dispenser of light for all the East. In modem times she appears again as a great political state courted by Europe, influencing the Asiatic expansion of European powers, splitting the Mohammedan world by her secession from the orthodox faith. And finally, after producing the last of the great series of Asiatic conquerors whose exploits and whose spoils revive for us the marvels of the Arabian Nights, she sinks rapidly into decay, an...

Many different explanations for these declines have been given.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】＜p＞This faith-based biography of early twentieth century Pastor James A. Frush by his church parishioner Peggy L. Jenkins is unique in that it follows the life Frush through his own personal journal, including historical details of his relationships with the people under his influence, which fewother sources provide. As a minister, James Frush faced challenges to understand Truth, and to represent Truth to his people. He confronted the challenges with the faith on which he stood: the Foundation of Faith. He found the faith to trust the Truth. "New folks are arriving nearly every day, and our family is getting to be quite a large one." Pastor Frush recorded those words in his journal in 1915. When he penned that prophecy, he could not see those included in that body today, nor those coming in future generations yet to be numbered, standing together through testimony and, like Frush, on the Foundation of Faith.＜/p＞...
