by applying the right means for the support of their physical strength and health, would have admitted.  But alas! they have been wantonly killed, when they were least prepared for Heaven and best disposed for the infernal regions!  And others have been mangled and wounded, so that they are crippled for all their lifetime and also hindered in the right use of their intellectual and moral faculties.  And all who were drilled for war, were instead of progressing in virtue, retrogressing into corruption.  Volumes could be written on this point of the deepest humiliation of the human race.  Which are “the remote and recent causes of the war in Europe?” The book which occasioned this treatise, contains a series of most detestable facts and proceedings as forerunners of the eruption of the volcanoes of the infernal furies which are destroying now in the wholesale human life and property; because governments and nations are not in truth, but in delusion and confusion, the necessary consequence of which is destruction.  Truth will make you free.  This is the teaching of the master whose religion the belligerent parties profess with words, while their actions are instigated by the infernal furies.  Also this book contains superabundance of testimonies of our mission, which is expressed on the title page.  In my five German volumes published within the years 1838 and 1842, the mystery of iniquity of all governments which profess to be christian governments, has been disclosed, and their highest duty has been made evident to abolish those abominations and to unite with us for the introduction of Christ’s reign, which will be the universal Republic of Truth and Justice, Harmony and Peace on the whole globe.  In those volumes as well as in all my following publications it is made evident that Peace can never be established on the globe in the present course of political and ecclesiastical affairs, and that, what they call peace, is only an armistice, during which the dragon and his host are inspiring the governments to amass means for new eruptions of revolutions and wars.  The book which occasioned this treatise, contains a collection of testimonies confirming and illustrating our teaching, that true peace cannot be established, till governments and nations arrive on our ground.  If the Emperor of Austria would evacuate this moment all places which he occupies in Italy, and if the Emperor of France and his allies would have in sincerity no other object in view, but the only one to make Italy perfectly free, I mean to make Italy a true Republic, and would sacrifice all their strength and influence to this only object, they could not realize their object, till they would learn and receive our message of Peace and adopt the plan given in this book for the introduction of the promised New Era.  As long as they neglect to do this, they remain under the influence of deluding and destroying spirits.  But these their masters are so controlled by our leaders, that when the measure
