ardice if it does not glorify marriage.
The Apostles have said that marriage is
honorable Marriage is spotlsss before
God and man, and the great object in
view is the reconciliation of heaven and
earth and of the present life with the
future, and to secure the reunion of
the earth, union in the city, the nation
and in humanity, was the thought OF
Jesus Christ. The foundation OF your
people is the bible, the book that speaks
of God and the living word Of Jesus
Christ. In an admirable manifesto from
your President, there shines through his
words the Christian faith. A belief in
Je,us is at the seat of this nation. May
Jesus Christ protect your country, and
develope old Europe, preparing amid
strife, unity and religious and material
prosperity, and when l return, ! shall
tell Europe that | have found liberty
associated with Christianity, and have
been smongo people who does not think
to be free they must be parted from
