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 today it is warming the nations,
and today it is gliding the sea, and today
II Is filing the earth with hight. The same
old sun, not az all worn out, though its hight
steps one hundred and ninety million miles a
second, though its paisations are four hun
dred and fifty triIiion undulations 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 yell
low and the orange-the seven beautiful
colors now Just as when the solar spectrum
first divided them.
At the beginning God said: ssLet there be
light" and light was, and light is, and light
shall be. So Christianity is rolling on, and
II il going to warm all nations, and all ma
tions are to bask in its light. Men may
shut the window binds SO they cannot
see it, or they may smoke the pipe of specu-
lation until they are shadowed under their
own vaporing; but the Lord God is suni
This white light Of the Gospel made up of
all the beautiful colors Of earth and heaven,
violet pfucked from amid the spring
grass, and the indigo of the southern
iungies 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
ALI the beauties Of earth and heaven brought
out by this spiritual spectrum Great Brit
ain is going to take all Europe for God The
United States arc going to take all America
for God. Both Of them together win take all
Asia for God. All three of them viii take
Africa for God. "Who art thou, oh great
mountaini before Zerubbabel thou shall be-
como plain" Tho mouth of the Lord hath
spoken it. Hallelulah. amen
