NAL day shall be full of brilliancy, as

NAL day shall be full of brilliancy, as
the blackness of midnight was changed
into the brightness of midnoon when
God spake at the morning of creation
the four simple words, Let there be
light" and there was light. The mil
lennial day shall come as suddenly as
the tongues of fire leaped out of the
heavens when the Holy Spirit lowered
over the heads of the praying, plead
ing, exultant Pentecostal worshipers.
If the millennial day is to come when
the gospel shall be proclaimed unto all
the nations of the earth, l ask you
this pertinent question: What nation is
better fitted to convey that gospel to
all unevangelized nations than the
American nation? Was not this nation,
in the first place, founded in the name
of God? Did not old John Robinson
stand upon the shore just before the
Mayf1ower sailed and dedicate to God
the little band of pilgrim fathers? Was
not that pilgrim band bound together
by sacred covenant to walk in all his
ways made known, or to be made
known unto them, according to their
best endeavors, whatever it should
cost? Was not Maryland settled in
the name of God, and Georgia in the
name of God, and Pennsylvania in the
name of God? On account of this past
dedication of our forefathers, dare
America refuse to carry the gospel un-
to all nations of the earth?
This nation is especially fitted to car
ry the gospel unto all people because
here we have no established church.
Every religious denomination can free
handedly do it's full stint of work.
A story of whitefie1d.
How the different religious denom-
nations are able to work side by side
in America for the scattering Of the
gospel seed may be illustrated by an
| incident in the life of George White
field. One day the great evangelist
stopped dramatically in his sermon
and, looking up as though addressing
the throne Of the Almighty, cried out
in interrogation, 80 Lord, are there
any Presbyterians in heaven" NO."
came back the answer. 80 Lord, are
there any Episcopalians in heaven?"
"No," again came the answer. 80
Lord, are there any Methodists in
heaven" mo" "Who, then, are the
denizens of the skies?" christians
one, Christians all'' So in the scatter
ing of the gospel seed by the American
nation there are no religious sects. In
the sight of the government there are
only Christians. The Calvinists and
the Armenians, the close commune
cants and the Congregationalists, the
Protestants and the Catholics, can
work side by side because these differ
ent religious denominations believe in
the atonement They can and should
scatter the gospel seed unto all ma.
tons because the American nation
Twas settled and consecrated by Oul
forefathers to the service Of the LORD
Jesus Christ.
Americas second mission is emphat
ically the establishment of an interna
tional court of arbitration so thai
bloody wars in the future shall be al
impossibility. That a great interna
tional court of arbitration can be es
tablished by the united action of thu
ten or twelve principal nations Of thu
world is undeniable, and that such {
court will be ultimately established Il
also unquestioned. When such cour
is established, the United States, Eng
land, France, Spain, Austria, Germany
Italy, Russia, Japan and China will
each have representatives upon tina
tribunal. Then when internationa
difficulties arise these difficulties will
be peacefully settled, as the Alabam;
claims were amicably settled befor
the Geneva tribunal which assembled
in 1871, composed Of the five repre-
sentatives which were furnished b,
the United States, Great Britain, Italy
Switzerland and Brazil; as the Vene
zuela claims were settled before tri
bunal which met in Paris in 1900; a
the Alaska boundary line was AMIGA
bly, settled and as the war claim
against the chinese government by tn
different allied forces are now bein
amicably settled.
