For though Ills spiritual empire at

be remembered First, His real dominion
is universal. lie Is not only the King OF
saints. but tho King OF kings. and the
King of nations. All creatut es are His
servants, from worm to an archangel.
Not only are the treasures OF grace Els.
but the elements of nature and all tho
dispensa tons OF Providence. He has
power given him over all flesh, that He
should give eternal life. to as many as the
Father hath given Him. FIe Is head over

and pleasure to trace the correspondence
and to acknowledge that all HIS ways
have been mercy and truth.
Secondly, though at present His spr-
itual kingdom be limited, and the subjects
who obey Him from the heart be com
paartively few, It will not be 60 always

growing stronger politically each day. It
was only a. question OF a short time when
they would be in a position to nv the
