even asserted that the present reign

sit when they are crowned, originally |
formed part of SolOmon's temple and

such fanciful traditions we have moth
ing to do. The essential fact is that
the gospel of Christ, which must ulu-
mately triumph, is enshrined in the
hearts of the Anglo-SaXon race more
than in those of any other race and
that they have the opportunity and the
qualities which fit them to embrace it.
of propagat;ng that gospel to the ends
of the earth.
This glorious contamination of
Christ's earthly kingdom, believe, will
be achieved under Gods omnipotent
power, working through the Anglo
Saxon race. Who will lead the way?
The beginning of every great move
ment in the worlds history has been
humble and inconspicuous. The origin
of the Christian church itself, now
numbering it's millions in all lands,
was in a single room, in which, all
told, there were only 100 persons.
Where will the movement for the final
triumph begin? 1t may be in such
church as this but it will be some
where where there is a band of ear
nest. consecrated, praying souls-men
and women self sacrificing, ardent,
agonizing in supplication to God for
power. There is an old proverb which
goes something like this: 1.-THE best
way for a city to keep its streets clean
is for every man to clean the sidewalk
in front of his own home" The best
, way for the Anglo-Saxon race to start
: on this worldwide mission is for us, as
Individuals to start here and start
now A little handful, under the power
of the Holy Spirit, we may accomplish
j.. at least as much for Christ as did that
l little band Of praying men and women
;, in the upper chamber of Jerusalem.
