OF CHRIST
Evangelist Says the Rule OF Heaven
Will Follow the Present
Order of Things

Evangelist Gibson's theme at the
rospcl tent meeting last night was
The Kingdom of Christ" which he
said. will be the next universal king
dom that will rule in this world.
The speaker said that the first
great universal kingdom which rul-
I'd the world was the B;srylcnian,
known as the "Lion Kingdom" as the
Prophet Daniel says in his book.
The kingdom which conquered this
great kingdom was that of the Medes
and Persians, but because of their
great sin and rebellion against heaven
they met their downfall when Alexan-
|! der with his great army at the river
! Granicus plunged through and con-
ouered the kingdom of Cyrus and
/! Darius. Rome, in her turn, conquered
! Grecia. The evangelist said that the
Bible shows that the next kingdom tc
be set up in this world will be the
: Kingdom Of Christ. 1t matters not
he said, how much the nations of this
world go to war and fight one an.
other in order to see which is to be
the greatest, the next kingdom vii
he Christ's. The people who enter
that kingdom will be those who have
been victorious over temptation ant
sin through Him who loved US ant
gave himself fer us, Jesus Christ on,
Saviour.
The subject tonight will be "Tht
/ Great Struggle Between Capital ant
labor"
A large congregation is expected tt
be present to hear this important
subject presented.

HOW WAR |MPRESSES
SOUUH SEA ISLANDER

SUVA, Fiji Islands, April 3.-How
the war impresses the South Sea Is
lander, the only native Fijian who
has actually been at the fighting front
is indicated in a letter received here
from Chief Sakuna, who was student
at Oxford university when the war
broke out, and who enlisted in the
French Foreign Legion.
Hundreds are here" says he in his
letter from the front, who cannot
shoot to hit house, and they have
been years in the ranks as soldiers
It's a bad thing that some of you
young Fijians are not here. The cold
ness of the weather is nothing when
one is clothed.
"The pits which the shells have dug
all around the country look like Fijiaa
ovens. The fighting areas are like a
place that has been ravaged by a ire
mendous hurricane. Great trees ami
small scrub are all withered and fall
len in all directions and broken by
the shells and the strength of the
fumes-that is the gas which they in e.
vented in Germany. Comparatively
speaking, it is sweet to read the ac-
counts of the war, but the trial of it
here brushes the soul. The trail of g
hurricane there with you is merely a
storm. Here Degei (God) alone ca1
comprehend it.
Zone thing 1 smiled at frequently
and felt great pity about. Some old
men and 'grannies in the north when
some of their houses stood alone re-
fused to leave them. They continued
to occupy their homes along with their
dogs, fowls, horses and COWS. I ask
ed a couple why they had not fed, and
they answered they were too old AMI
death did not matter to them. In an
other case the owner remained in
his house while our trenches lay ut
the back of his house and the enc.
my's trenches were only 80 yards dis
tant. Every morning he MIXED his
cows, while the projectiles never ceas-
ed falling in his enclosure.
"One thing l abominated was, when
the shells we're fired towards us, and
they came with a sound like crying, or
like whistling, and devilish noise. We
cid not feel comfortable under it, anc
when they burst it was like the air
giving us a kick in the side, and our
heads shook, and our stomachs seemed
on fire."
