My Friends:
Last Sunday the subject Of our study
was Making the Nation Christian.
For the coming Sunday we study the
problem of Making the World Chris
tian." The latter Is easy II we can
bring about the former The United
States is the greatest nation on the
face of the earth today. We've got
more money, more ability, more mate
rial. more knowledge and more initia :
tive than any. of the others. / firmly
believe that. And believe and think
you'n agree with ME, that if the United
States can be made a Christian nation
the other nations Of the world can cas-
ily be swung into the Christian col
umn within short time afterward.
-. No Christian Nation.
In Sunday scnooSI last:sunday heard
q class lecturer. who is a careful Bible
student. a man Of good Judgment and
one who doesn't make statements
without thoroughly :; Weighing those
statements beforehand. say that while
this government nnde erTWhich we live
is not;ra lchristian government, at the
same time the people ii;of the United
States come nearer being a Christian
people than do the: people Of any other
nation on Gods::eearfh. :; He went on to
say further ,thatt Christianity in the
United States vas sgrowing by leaps
and, bounds: =. 2, 8
We All hope that It is true and per-
sonally, believe that 1T is. The mo-
ment the United States Is thoroughly
Christianized almost every man ana
woman will automatically become a
missionary and then all will be enlEu-
siastic in the work of going after the
rest of the world and spreading the
Word to every cfeattre.
The Scripture Lesson.
Let us read the Scripture lesson for
Sunday as it is found in lisa. 1l;l-1o;
Acts 1853:
I And there shall come forth a rod
out Of the stem Of Jesse. and 6rahci'
shall grow out of his roots:
2. And the spirit Of the LORD shal'
rest upon him, the spirit OF WISDOM
and understanding, the. spirit OF co9il.
sci and might, the spirit OF Rho"leose
"a And shall make him OF quick un-
6erstanding in the fear. Of the Lora':
and he shall not judge after the sight
of his. eyes. nsithef rsproye after the
hearing Of his ears. on ha

iudge the poor, and dreprove with equity
FOR the meek of the earth; and ne 'sHall
cm;te the earth with the rod or ms
month. and with the breath OF his lips
shall he slay the wicked.

eirdle Of his lolns; and faithfulness tne

Isaiah, who prophesied of the COM
ing Of Christ, must have been won
derful preacher in addition to being q
marvellous prophet. He was the son OF
Amos, and he prophesied in Juoaf
during the reigns of Uzziah, Jotham
Ahaz and HeZekiah. He prophes'eo
for about sixty years. incidentally II
Is of interest TO know that more won
derful and powerful sermons have peen
nreached by ministers since his time
from the book OF Isaiah than from any
other books in the Bible perhaps.
