/ love the Alps as well They are mine. l
| look with amaZement on all | have seen
Of their beautv and glory. Whether III
rural England OF the fathcrland of Ger
many. or whether in France, with her
sunlit hills, or Italy, with her beautiful
skies, or far away i'll Africa, with her
wild forests and Mountains of the Moon,
it is Gods work, and | am his, ana
they belong TO me, because they are part
of the race inheritance. So III hlstor.
their heroes and martyrs-they belong 20
me. have right TO them.
For that reason justice and love must
rule at last between nations. We are
bound together by common bonds that
cannot separate las if we try. The glorleS
of England and France and Germany
are mine. / thank the tradesman who
spreads his eastern rug on my floor, who
brings his wares from the far east to
make my home bright and beautiful.
love thus every nation, because every ma
ton contributes TO my happiness and
life and my share of this worlds beauty
and good All that the other nations have
done is my inhcritence. You could no5
separate with war the glory of England
from the glory Of this iiatiOn. Shake
speare is mine. Goethe is mine. The glor-
les of German science are mine. The glory
of her musicians as they have swept the
keys of Gods harmonies and translated
them that human ears might hear-thev
are my inheritance. The glOrieS of Italy,
as she has given to the world the first
letters of the alphabet of art-thcy arr
mine. The glori,s of France-all that
she has wrought in science and literature
and art and craftsmanship and philGu !
thropy-they are mine. All the gloriea !
Of these countries are mine, because they |
belong to the common heritage Of the |
race.
GOD Is BRJNGING REFORM.
Then let the Old regime pass away. |
May God hasten the day when the ind
vidual acccntu&;i0n which men have |
striven for i'll the past shall give place f.
the new era, that shall mean solidarit,
Of the race. When nations shall bc
bound as family groups around the heart
of the great God, bound IN church, in
society, i'll commerce, i'll all the essential
elements that make up the sum total Of
a peoples life and history-yes, it is
glorious dream, worlds federation
1t was the dream of Christianity. 1t was
the dream of Christ. And he who seeks
to bring that kingdom to pass must worl
and wait for it and believe in it TO the
end.
Near the island of st. Thomas there Is
4 curious rock that comes out of the sea
n the shape of a ship, and seen on
foggy day it is perfect deception. "a
again and again vessels passing by sc,
hat great stone loom up from the water
ike ship in full sail. A curious Incl
lent happened once with French cor
1ette cruising in those waters. Looking
)ut, the Frenchman saw this ship sud
lenly loom up from the water, and from
us guns sent shot to the leeward, com
that the ship should bring her
elf alongside and report. OF courst
here was no response, and then h,
leared the deck for action and sent
roadside into the enemy; then, spring
ng his ship to the other side, he pre-
'ared to discharge more guns, when tho
og suddenly lifted, and the old ston,
miled at him from her solid position il
he sea.
SO, sometimes III the past, if we coulC
My have seen ourselves when the smok,
battle cleared away, we would hav,
ound we had been fighting nature her
elf; that we had been bombarding tn,
ternal hills of God. God has decreet
nat we are one, and he is going to brine ,
S back at last in that world of jubilee
l that world rejoicing, when the ma
ons shall be at peace.
