thousand voices come up to me this
tn0rning saying =; "Do YOU really think in
fidelity will succeed Has Christianity re-
ceived its death blow and will the Bible
become obsolete Z" Yes, when the smoke Of
the city chimney arrests and destroys the
MONDAY sun: Josephus says about the time
OF the destruction of Jerusalem the sun was
turned into darkness but only the clouds
rolled between the sun and the earth. The
sun went right on 1t is the same sun, the
same luminary as when at the beginning it
shot out like an electric spark from Gods
finger, and to-day it is warming the nations,
and to-day it is gliding the sea, and today
it is filling the earth with light. The same
OLD sun, not at all worn out, though its light
steps one hundred and ninety million miles O
second, though its puIsatiOns are four hun
dred and fifty trillon fluctuations in a Sec
ond. Same sun with beautiful white light
made up of the violet and the indigo and the
blue and the green and the red and the vel
low and the orange-the seven beautiful
COlOrs now just as when the solar spectrum
first divided them.
At the beginning God said 'Let there
be light" and light was, and light is,
and light shall be. So Christianity is
rolling on, and it is going to
warm all nations, and all nations are to bask
in its light. Men may shut the window
blinds so they cannot see it, or they NAV
smoke the pipe of speculation until they are
Swallowed under their own vaporing; but the
Lord God Is sum- This white light of the
Gospel made up of all the beautiful colors of
earth and heaven-viOlet plucked from amid
the spring grass, and the indigo of the south
ern Jungles, and the blue of the skies, and
the green of the foliage, and the yellow of
the autumnal woods, and the orange of the
southern groves, and the red of the sunsets.
All the beauties of earth and heaven brought
out by this spiritual spectrum. Great Britain
is going to take all Europe for God. The
United States are going to take all America
for God. Both of them together will take all
Asia for God. All three of them will take
Africa for God. ''WhO art thou. oh great
mountain? before Zerubbabe thou shalt be-
come plain" The mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it Hallelujah, amen
