sentiment of those who have lived BE-

for sovereignty. And sovereignty to
him means more than 1t does TO the
citizen of almost every other country.

themselves rather than in some individ-
ual who claims 1t by right Of birth.
or divine will. or conquest in war. The
flag is an inspiration in times OF diff
Guilty and danger. 1t makes strong ap-
peal to the spirit Of loyalty. 1t serves
as an imperative call to duty. The
anxious questioning Of Francis Scott
Key until the dawn's early light and
the fierce fighting of the soldier in
the last rally about the standard have
common birth.

OH " 1AtSE S'Sote
Tho Bible consists OF two volumes.
one of thirty-nine and the other OF
twenty-seven books. 1t took sixteen
hundred years to make 1t. 1t has
about forty human authors: and 1t
was written in somewhat different
countries, as well as in widely diher-
emit centuries. 1t discusses many sub
jects, but 1t preserves perfect unity
throughout. Its unity has been ap-
propriately and eloquently Illustrated
by the keynote in a grand oratorio.
That keynote Is now heard laundering
in tho bass, now trembling in the So
prano. and now for a moment 1t Is
lost to hearing; but 1t is ever appear
ing until 1t re-asserts itself In mag
nificent outburst Of harmony. In like
manner the predominating thought OF
the Bible is seen In history, in proph-
ecy, in petition. and In doxology. 1t is
an internal rather than an external
unity. 1t Is the unity of some glorious
castle or some ancient cathedral. AL
though cathedral and castle external
ly may represent different centuries.
different architects, and various styles
OF architecture. yet the interior often
shows the dominance Of one great
thought, and all parts Of the edifice
contribute to one definite purpose.
Tho authors OF the Bible differed
widely from one another. Some were
princes. some peasants; some were
warriors, some lovers Of peace; some
lived in palaces, and some In tents.
But all were actuated by one spirit;
all worked accordingly to one great
plan of the one divine Author. There
may be in the Bible an absence of sys-
tom; but there is tho presence of
method Systems are human; meth
DDS are divine. You find methods in
rocks and fields: you find systems In
museums and herbariums. 1t might
have been enough for the principles
of revelation II God had made the
book simply Instructive; but He was
pleased also to make 1t attractive.
Like Gods other volume, the book OF
nature, 1t has its lofty mountains. its
shady dells, its suns and stars. It's
smiling fields. and its singing groves.
