WHAT CHRISTIANITY IS DOING.
It is bending over US, it is yearning to do
good to all of Us, il has no enmities, no
hatred; itloves all, and it is ready TO take
up the very lowest of the low, and so Jesus
is waiting.

And now, friends, believe the era o.
peace is before Us. There may be somo
| wars first. presume it is likely there
will be, but look at the principles of arbi-
| tration, and how nations are beginning to
settle their difficulties by means of it. We
would have had wars in the east of Europe,
ravaging all that country a couple of years
ago, if the nations had not arbitrated and
thus settled their difficulties; and I think
| the time is coming soon when all national
| difficulties will be settled by the light Of
reason instead of the arm of war. And
| when that time comes the Prince of
| Peace" will govern; and how 1 rejoice to
| think of his government, when govern
ment shall be purified, and when there
| shall be new heaven and a new
earth, "wherein dwelleth righteousness!
That is the vision, and I believe it will
| be realized in this world of ours.
And now, Christian friends, why not
| love such Savior, why not support such
a system why not come and rally around
| the cross? Jesus is King of Nations and
| he will reign supreme. Notwithstanding
| all opposition, this gospel of the Son o.
God shall be preached to all nations and
all nations shall how before the cross.
Now one word to the young. Young man,
