WILL you permit me to thank the
81 Herald Toc the many valuable
special articles and editorials which
are appearing in that newspaper?
would Iike to mention, in particular
Justice Wesley O. Towards article,
entitled Abraham, Jacob, Allenby,
Travelled Same Road" which appear
ed recently. The Herald is giving to
the public the fulfilling of Biblical
history. Its columns are educating
the people in the footsteps of truth
and. the revelation of the possibilities
of man and nations, when governed
by the law of righteousness.
In an editorial in the Herald of
October 4, entitled, Does American
ism Liver" you say
It should occur to the gentlemen
who are seeking to place an inter
national system and an interna-
Eional Covenant" above the Dec
laration of Independence and the
federal constitution that the say
ings of the fathers of the Republic
have lived, not because they utter
ed them, but because those utter
ances reflected eternal truths. These
truths have endured through the
years because truth endures and
survives all assaults.
Until pure and undefled Amer
icanism is restored neither Amer
lea nor the world will be safe.
The operation of the law of right
eousness has been mantle tied through
every pioneer of truth from Abra.
ham, the father of many nations, y
to the fathers of the American Re
public.
Now the Lord had said unto
Abram, Get thee out of Thy coun-
try and from Thy kindred and
from Thy fathers house, unto
land that | will show thee:
And I will make thee a great
nation.
And in Thy seed shall all the
nations of the earth be blessed; be-
cause thou hast obeyed My
voice.
Thou shalt keep My covenant
therefore.
