The Dominant Apglo-saxon.
The Angio-Saxon race is best quail
fed TO lead in this great forward move
ment for Christ also because Ia this
century il holds position Of domi-
nant power and influence among the
nations analogous TO that held by an
Client Rome at the birth Of ChristianI-
~. They geographically hold the stra-
tegic points OF all the world. Open the
map of the world where you viii and
drop your finger at random. Gibraltar,
the key OF the Mediterranean, held by
ENGLAND. Suez canal and the sover-
eighty OF Egypt by England. Eastern
as well as northern Africa dominated
by England. The islands of the Pacific
held by Germany, England and the
United States. North and South Amer

government by its Monroe doctrine
Europe for the most part controlled or
influenced by Germany or England.

Then where can you find n people
mentally and spiritually and physically
better equipped to carry forth this COS
pei message than the members of the
Anglo-Saxon race? To conquer the
world for Christ God is going to use
giants now as he used giants of old.

used TO say. "but God had to first make
an Antonio Stradivarius before he could
put together his best violins" Under
the power Of the Holy Spirit the apos.
tolic messengers were able to scatter
the gospel messages everywhere. But
how could such wonders have been ac-
complished I'm so short a time unless
God had first sent forth q messenger,
mentally and spiritually gigantic, as
he did when he sent forth Paul? And
where can God get better modern ennis
saries. II we are willing to do what we
ought 10 do, than among the members
OF the Angio-Saxon race?
Christ's Gospel Must Triumph,
There are many reasons why the
Anglo-Saxon race should lead I'm this
movement. Some OF these may be re-

that the AnSlo-Saxon race represents

herself as n precious relic. With all
such fanclful traditions we have moth

the gospel of Christ, which must ulti-

hearts of the Anglo-S Saxon race more
than in those of any other race and
that they have the opportunity and the
qualities which fit them to embrace IL.
