gone by, the race would certainly be
doomed to obstruction if forever left
to the pranks of nature. l don t believe
that we are ON a wild train, without
an engineer, without a brakeman, with
cut a conductor. believe, that, from
Adam down to the last baby yet to be
born, we are all in the care, and at
the mercy of him who said: ''to NE
is given all power in heaven and on
earth -
When Pontious plate, on the day
Christ was erucified wrote: "Jesus of
Nazareth, King Of the Jews,'' he wrote
better than he was aware of. Jesus
Christ, King of the Jews, and King of
the Gentiies, will come again to judge,
and rule this earth, in righteousness,
to establish his kingdom which shall
never be destroyed. This was forseen
and foretold by the Prophets of old, in
Isaiah, 32:1 we read: Behold King
shall reign in righteousness, and princes
shall rule in Justice" and in Daniel
2:44 we read: "And in the days Of
those kings, shall the God of Heaven
set up a kingdom which shall never be
destroyed, nor shall the sovereignty
thereof be left to another people, but
it shall break in pieces and consume all
these kingdoms, and it shall stand for
ever"
This Garth of ours in it's present con
dition, is only fit for sinners to live
in, but not a fit place for saints. A
reasonable prophecy, pointing to the
time when sinful man will be restored
4 l. Il ha yhnlo
earth made fit for perfect humanity to
dwell in, we find in Isaiah 1851. Then
the eyes of the blind shall be opened,
and the ears of the deaf shall be un-
stopped. Then shall the lame man leap
as hare, and the tongue of the dumb
shall sing, for in the wilderness shall
aters break out and streams in the
desert, and the glowing sand shall be-
ccmc pool, and the thirsty ground
springs Of water. no more Roosevelt
dams needed then
isaiah 41:l8-20 we find: "I will open
rivers il the bare heights, and fountains
III the midst of the valleys. L will make
the wilderness a pool of water, and the
dry lands springs of water. 1 will put
in the wilderness the cedar, the Acacia
and the MYRTLE, and the oil tree. | will
set in the desert the fir tree, the pine
and the box tree together, that they
may see, and know, and consider and
understand, that the hand of Jehovah
hath done this, and the Holy one Of
Israel hath created it the Holy
one of Israel is none other than Jesus
Christ, the coming king. Many nations
are now fighting like lot of bulldogs,
and the prospects are that they I'll keep
at it till there is nothing left but the
tail to make the world safe for demOc-
racv but what poor suffering humanity
really needs is for a king to come to
make this world safe for truth and jus
tice and purity and honesty and gentle
ness and kindness and Goodness. All
something that no human power as hu-
man wisdom nor all the preachers and
missionaries will ever be able to do, and
for this reason many sanity men and
women, all over the world are wait
ing and watching for Jesus Christ to
come again and make this earth so
beautiful and so productive and SO safe,
that every man may securely dwell un-
der his own vine and figtree and moth
ing and nobody will be allowed to make
him afraid.
No, lot of new globes are not need
ed. and evolution will be kindly re-
anested to 90 way back and sit down,
and for a brief spell glory in its silly
absurdity. A few years hence this evo-
luton theory will be dead and buried,
never to rise again, for the wisdom of
the worldly wise is foOhshness.-Cor.
