-
walk IN his paths; for the law shall
go forth from Zion, and the word
of the LORD from jerusalem. And
be shall Judge among many people,
and rebuke strong nations afar
off; and they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears
into pruning hooks; nation shall
not lift up sword against nation,
neither shall they learn var any
more.-Micah 4:1.3.
These prophecies. we believe are
already IN process of fulfllment.
As never before, the eyes of the
Jews are turned to the Holy Land,
and their feet to the City of their
God. Soon the Wandering Jew
will wander no more, but shall re-
turn unto tue Lord. who will have
mercy upon him, and unto our
God, who will abundantly pardon.
From the standpoint of national
life, the Jew has been the miracle
of history. Without a land, and
without a flag, he has preserved
his national identity all through
the ages, and today he is the same
Jew that he was yesterday, and
will be the same tomorrow. Prob
ably the war has presented few sad
der pictures than that of the Jews
fighting in the different armies.
Without a nation, or a flag, for
which to fight, he risks his life for
the country in which chance or
commerce has carried him. He can
not say, my country it's of thee,"
and therefore must brave death
without the impelllng principle of
patriotism or the love of his native
heath.
The only possible explanation of
Jewish history is-God. That be is
ever and always the Jew, is Gods
own doing, and a sufficient answer
to the atheism Of the ages. No man
can carefully study the history of
the Hebrew race without realizing
that all history is His story. The
time draweth nigh when they who
crucifed him shall crown him Lord
of all!-Western Recorder.

THE ZIONIST

During the recent session Of the
Zionist Convention, at Plt,sburg,
the statement was made that the
Jewishl legion of 5000 now fighting
with the British in Palestine
would be increased to approx
mately 100000 men, and that
this number would be the standing
army OF the coming Jewish ,e-
public. According to DR.. A. A.
Newman, every Jew enlisted
from the United States is pledged
to spend the remainder of his life
in Palestine.
This, to our way of thinking,
but confirms the sure word
Of prophecy that the day of the
''fallness of the Gentiles' is at
hand, and that the Jews will re-
turn to the Holy Land, and later
to their Fathers house. Hear the
prophet:
l will gather the remnant Of my
flock out of all countries with r
I have driven them, and will
bring them again into their folds,
and they shall be fruitful and in
crease. And | will set up shep-
herds over them which shall feed
them; and they shall fear no more,
nor be dismayed, neither shall
they be lacking, saith the Lord.
Behold, the days come, saith the
Lord, that | will raise up unto
David a righteous Branch, and a
King shall reign and prosper, and
shall execute justice and judgment
in the earth. In his days shall Ju-
dab be saved, and Israel shall dwell
safely; and this is the name where
by he shall be called, The Lord ou1
Righteousness.-Je 1886.

don't like to believe that God
causes the storms and the evil
things thatcome upon US. It has
always seemed to me more likely
that the devil does that But what
are we going to do with Nahum
1:3. which says:
The Lord hath His way in the
whirlwind and in the storm, and
the clouds are the dust of His
feet"
Light and Power are two of the
attributes OF God, and the same
is true Of electricity. At present
we must have material fixtul es
in order to get electric light, but
the time may come when we can
have the light without the fix
lures, just as we can already
send a message without wires.
Speaking OF the New Jerusalem,
in Rev. 21:23, the Seer Of Patmos
says:
And the city had no need Of
the sun, neither Of the moon, to
shine in it: for the glory of God
did tighten it, and the Lamb is
the light thereof.
And who knows but what that
means electric light? You see we
don t know but very little about
electri city yet. Edison and all the
other great electricians admit
that they don't even know the A
B C's of it yet. If that is the case,
just think what wonders it may
perform in the future. Men have
supposed that electricity is mere
" a blind, unconscious force OF
nature, but they don't know it.
They have no way of knowing. Il
may be a conscious, intelligent
force. 1t may be Gods way OF
manifesting Himself TO us in
these days.

en- AND ELECTRICITY.

~ orc has been an idea roosting
oround in the corners of my brain
which I have never dared to ex-
nress publicly. 1t looked to me like
# might be a reasonable idea, but
7 thought I was the only person
IN earth who ever entertained
such a thought. But | have just
now discovered another man who
has been thinking about the same
thing, Mr.. B. F. Vance, of Bris-
tol Tenn, writes as folio VS.:
"The more l think on the sub
iect the more | am convinced that
God is Electricity, for where in
all the universe is there an ele-
ment that will come so near rep.
resenting God? Nahum says the
thunder is Gods voice, and it is
electricity thai speaks the thuh-
der. When that voice of God came
from heaven to Jesus, some said
it Numbered. Since the greatest
of electricians do not know what
electricity is, why, then, may il
not be the Spirit of God? Jesus,
the express image of his Father,
says that when he comes again
he will come as the lightning and
will destroy the wicked with the
brightness of his coming"
The writer of the above does
not state anything as a fact. He
merely offers a suggestion and
spoculates a little as to what
might be. And I wonder if any
other human being besides Vance
and myse f have ever had such q
thought?

the impression first came to me.
