In these the different parts of the known world were represented as members of a body of which Egypt was the heart. He was also said to have been one of the scribes of the sacred books, particularly that which taught the hiero- glyphic art. Herodotus declares that he saw the colossal statues of Sesostris, his wife and four children in front of one of the Egyptian temples, and also, pillars in Asia Minor and elsewhere recording the fact that ^* Sesostris, king of kings, subdued this country by t...he force of his arms." His con- quests are said to have extended in almost every direction. For more than two thousand years the prophecies in the word of God concerning Eg3rpt have been fulfilling. During all that time Egypt has been, as she is at the present day, " without a native prince,'' and " the basest of the kingdoms.'' The time is yet future, when again " Princes shall come out of Egypt ; " ^ and the Lord shall say, " Blessed be Egypt, my people." * * Ps. IxviiL 81. ■ Isaiah xix. 18-26.
