Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar Prophetical Dream Study
William J Bryan’s Bible Talk presents Daniel’s dream interpretation as a test of faith and a proof of prophecy. It contrasts human interpretation with divine revelation, arguing that prophecy remains certain though human guesses may err, and urges Christians to trust God’s broader timeline.

A religious essay contrasts wealth and humility, citing James 1 10 and Romans 8 17. It argues the rich may boast yet are like grass, while true riches come from being a son of God. The piece echoes a 1971 note by J. A. R. and quotes scripture to emphasize spiritual wealth over material gain.
Early Day History of Presbyterians in Waterloo
The 1867 crash disrupted the First Presbyterian church’s plans to occupy the Jefferson Street edifice in Waterloo. From 1854 to 1878 the church faced leadership changes and financial strain, with a brick church finally completed in 1878 after debts and donor support. Notable figures include Rev. N. C. Robinson, Rev. James M. Phillips, Rev. Moses Robinson, Rev. James Harrison, Rev. William Fithian, Rev. Stephen Phelps, and Rev. A. R. Giney, among others.
