. But perhaps we had better describe
!, how the words of my text may mean
the ''sea of hate" before we make
our application to this truth. God made
Of one blood all nations to dwell upon
the face of the earth He never intend
ed Jews to be antagonlstic to gentiles
or human governments to be arrayed
against human governments. He
never intended the dividing walls of
color TO separate the white races from
the black, or the yellow skins Of the
Asiatics TO be ut war with the combin-
ed forces OF the civilized world. But
the oceans. perhaps, more than any
other means, have been the cause
which has produced these much to be
deprecated results. Great seas have
flowed in between the continents. For
thousands OF years the navgators were
unable to cross them. The ocean beds
are so broad and long that though the
Australian continent, with an area of |
2.944G2S square miles, was discovered .
by the Dutch explorers in 1905. it was .
practically lost for nearly two cen
turtles as a pebble might be lost in the
bottom of a lake. 1t had to be redis-
covered by Captain Cook in III. Thus
widely separated peoples grew up with
separate interests. They spoke differ
ent languages. Their countenances
were bleached by the SHOWS of the
frigid zone or darkly tanned by the
tropical heats. Because they had no
previous intercourse they associated
themselves in clans or banded them
selves together in nations. When they
confronted each other they came not
as friends but as armed foes.
