Kingdoms of this world shall become one In

of the kingdom shall be preached to ali the

which is perfect Is God, aud that which Is In

We have got to enter into new state of
things In some way In the future. We do
not all see alike. We have to 20 into an
other state before one man weighs as much
as another. Suppose all the trees In the
world were pine trees, or all oaks, or all
cedars, or all chestnut. trees. No, God has
given us an endless variety Of things, and II
not In matter why not In mindg He has
done Il. We have not all equal capacities, as
said before; we do not all sec alike. We
have got to enter Into higher sphere before
that can come to pass. But rejoice In this,
that whatever binders the universal spread of
the gospel; whatever binders us from being
good Christians, loving God with all our
hearts and our neighbors as ourselves.
Therefore Christian men Of all denomina-
lions are seeking out the points In which
they can agree. and work In common
cause against all unrighteousness. | see
that this Is the proper work, and for this
purpose have no doubt God has raised the
Christian Alliance. He may have accom-
plished much already; but In your six con-
ferences that have taken place since 1916, 1t
Is not 1.-THE, In my humble Judgment, of
what you will SEQ before six conferences
more Of this kind are held. No, sir. Not
one black man aloEe will be In your next
conference-Shem, Ham and Japhct will be
represented largely and form large proper
lion In the next conference. They will all
be there.
No, you cannot have that all to yourselves.
Your liberal feelings which you exercise to-
ward us are highly appreciated, and II is no
particular fault OF yourselves that there Is
not more of us.
