a .Triumnhnnt Song.

OLt 1uAtly assert Ilat our new song
for the coming giholidays should be a tri-
umphant song. In it we should hear
the ring of the coming conquest of the
world for Ghrist;ii in It we should know
not only that man as an individual viii
be sawed. but that there shall come a
time when nations and peoples of all
elimes shall worship our Christ as their !
master and king. When the Sioux In
dians many yeaFs ago. were about to |
| rise in revolt and massacre the white |
settlers of the far west the Indian COM
enissioners to prevent that uprising Sc.
| 2ected some of the Indian chiefs and
sent them to Washington as a delega-
zion TO present their grievances before
| the Great White Father" the presi-
dent of the United StGtes. They sent
them east not to have the president
change the policy of the government, {
but that these Indian chiefs might ,
know the universities Of the resources d
Of the white men and how useless it
was to rise up against them. Those
Indians might slay a few settlers. but '
after theE had seen the millions upon
millions Of white inhabitants beyond
the Mississippi they would know that 4
ultimately the white man must con-
quer. Thus in our new song we want
to catch glimpse of the power of GaJ. u
Here and there temporarily one q

back; but. after all the great march Of So
the Christian army is forward We
are all marching On to q millennial
day when Christ as the leader of the -
great army of victory shall have his We
standards above every land. waving me
over every nation and over every sea.
