Cereal Britain's greatest need. He re-
fused millions of compensation for his
formula which he turned over to the
British government on but one con-
dition, viz: that the British govern
ment would favor the reestablishment
of his people in Palestine. 1t is a
matter of history how the Weizmann
commission has tlready raised millions
for this purpose, and has laid the
foundation of a new university at Je-
rusalem. Twelve stones were used
for a corner stone, named after the
twelve tribes of Israel
Just as God the first time prepared
the Holy Land for the birth and work
of our Saviour, even though it took
centuries to marshall events in Asia
and Europe for a proper background,
SO He now is moving the whole world
to set the stage for the return of
His Son to the very midst of His
own people .of the House of David
We are told that the same feet that
lifted from the Mount of olives will
again touch that mount with majesty
and power, and that His own will cry
out. %. This is our God, we have
waited for Him. and Blessed is He
that cometh in the name of the Lord

Jerusalem to Be Center.
With multiplicity of text, it Is
demonstrated that Jerusalem shall be
the religious and civil center of auth
ority for the coming age. "Out Of
Zion shall 60 forth the law, and the
word of the Lord from Jerusalem"
Nation shall not lift up the sword
against nation, neither will they learn
war any more" Isaiah 2:31D He will
ask of the world an Unconditional
Surrender" Thru His chosen people
Israel on the earth. and His glorified
Church above. He will bless the world
with new and glorious age of right
eousness when "all shall know Him,
from the least to the greatest" So
it is not in a Democratic League of
Nations. which is only a stepping
stone to something better. that is
bound up the hope of humanity and
the faith of Christians, as one says:
but in Him who said, Behold I come
as thief. Blessed is he that watch

he walk naked and they see his
shame REV. $3.50

duty of Christians and the Church to
the hour in which we live? Is it not
to preach the gospel of the regenera-
ton of the human heart through faith
in the atonement that Christ made on
the Cross? Our reforms can take no
deeper root than to the extent that the
heart is the home of a new creation.
If the Golden Age marks a universal
time when the law of righteousness
is written in the heart. how much do
we need that spiritual force in the |
midst of perverseness. In these days |
when every thing that has the German
name is being cast out, | want to make |
one appeal to my fellow hearers. Let |
us cast out the German theology from !
our Colleges and Universities. That !
theology that denies the place given |

claimed for Himself. but claims it for !
it's own German kultur Modernism.
Away with it ! say, and let us have
