But on, yc great army Of iniidels and
atheistss on They will attempt to scale
heaven. There are heights to be taken.
Pile hill on hill and Pelion on CASA, and
then they hoist the ladders against the.
walls Of heaven. On and on until they
blow up the foundations of jasper and the
gates Of pearl. They charge up the
steep. Now they aim for the throne Of
him who liveth forever and ever. They

ANARCHY WITHOUT THE CHURCH
A world without q head, . universe
without a king. Orphan consultations
Fatherless galaxies. Anarchy supreme.
A dethroned Jehovah. An sssassinated
God. Patricide, regicide, decide. That
is what they mean. That is what they
will have, il they can Civilization hurled
back into semi barbarism, and semi bar
barism driven back into Hottentot saw
agery. The wheel of progress turned the
other way and turned toward the dark
ages. The clock OF the centuries put back

wich Islands, from your schools and from
your colleges and from ysur reformed
condition to what you were in 1890, when
the missionaries first came. Call home
the five hundred missionaries from India
and overthrow their TWO thousand schools,
where they are trying to educate
the heather, and scatter the
one hundred and forty thousand little
children that they have gathered out Of
barbarism into civilization. Obliterats
all the work Of Or. Duff in India, of
David Abeel in China, Of DIR. King in

foreign lands, toiling for Christ's sake,
toiling themselves into the grave. Tell
these three thousand men OF God that
they are OF no use. Send home the med

bodies as well as the souls OF the dying
nations. Go home, London Missionary

Foreign Missions. Go home, ye MORAY

and squalor and filth and death the
nations whom we have begun lift.
