WHY NNrEDAy
WHY do propose America as the coun-
try for This convoDaIou' Because most
Other lands have a state r,iinion, and while
all forms OF religion may he tolerated in
many Lands America is the only country
on earth where all evangelical de omiua-
tions stand ON an even footing, and all
would have equal hearing in such an inter
national exposition. Why do ! select this
cluster of ,racoast citiesy Answer-By that
time-Dec ~. lgOO--the~e four cities of New
York. brooklyn, Jersey City and Hoboken,
10y bridges and tunnels, will be practically
one, and with an aggregate population Of
about 100000. Consequently no other
part OF America will have such immensely
OF population.
Why do now make this nomination Of
time and placer Answer because such u
stupcndous moyemcnt cannot be extern
purilrd. Ii will take seven years To get
ready for such an oyertuwering celebrl-
tion. and the work ought to begin speedily
in churches, in colleges, in legislatures, in
| national assemblages, aud we have no
time to lose. 1t would take three years to
make a programme worthy of such com
4 ing together.
! Why do | take it upon myself to make
such nomination of time and place? An
swer-Because it so happens that in the
mysterious providence of God, born in
farmhouse aud of no royal or prinCely de
scent, the doors of communication are open
to me every week by the secular and reli-
giOus printing presses and have been open
to me every week for many years, with all
the cities and towns and ueighbOrhoods of
Christendom, and indeed in lands outside
of Christendom, where printing presses
have been established, and | feel that il
there is anything worthy in this PROPOSE
ton it will be needed and adopted.
On the other hand, if it be too sanguine
or too hopeful or too impractical, | am
sure it will do no harm that | have eX-
pressed my wish for such an international
jubilee, ceebrative of the birth of our I'm.
manuel. My friends such birthday cele-
bration at the close of one century and
reaching into IA new century would be
something III which heaven and earth
could join. 1t would not only be interna-
tioual, but iuterpanetary, interstellar, i'll
