Dear Interior:
A little more British politics all in
"my line"-before going to something else
Last night the Government met a second
defeat-in the House of Lords this time =
on the question of opening the Museum
and Art Galleries on Sunday. Again John
Bull held fast to his religion" in spite Of
powerful ministry, and the majority among
cisive than in the Lower House Again
poor Israel, still blinded unwittingly, but
most touchingly testifes to his unknown
psrentage. God and His Sabbath have
thus been voted for by these logged sons Of
Abraham. Again am glad of it with all
my heart.
The "Blue Ribbon Movem ent" is un-
questionably national one, and more and
more / am interested with it. 1t is won
derful how the dear LORD has identified
us with it from our landing. A vista opens
up before me, the more ponder ii. Last
night the LORD sent me to Noting Hall
where / had an audience in a Coffee Palace
Hall-siill connected with the Blue Rib
bon as Hoxton is. The little badge IL seen
everywhere. High and low, rich and poor,
observe the everlasting ordinance Of Num-
bers 1888, whence believe it all springs
another evidence of the identity Of Israel
and the British nation. And 40 these
proofs multiply. springing up on every
hand from unexpected quarters, yet all
pointing steadily in one direction. The
gospel the dear LORD has given me to
preach is the zone thing needful" this ma
tional temper nee movement must have or
be a comparative failure. How strange il
will be, If after sedulously and persistent
ly refusing to beidentifed with Good Temp.

own accord, without one human solicita-
ton, mount the Blue Ribbon and wear it
proudly and lovingly still Jesus Gomez"
l should not be surprised il this happens
Tonight there is a call that may result in
our going to Newcastle on Tyne, the very
place where Moody began his work in the
British Isles, ten years ago. Again how
strange and unexpected all this isl And / |
