Years passed by and thcn the new King
Fergus the First pushed out across the
channel and captured Scotland, set up his
Kingdom al Iona and wanted to be crowned
&ing there. Anxious az he is he will not
assume the royal title or the crown until
he first sends back to Ireland, back to
Tara and has brought 10 him the Liza
Fail the stone Of Destiny. the Stone Of
Jacob on which his predecessors had been
crowned. and now safely landed in Scotland
that stone became the rally ing point for
Scotland is ii had been for Ireland. and
Fergus the First, the new king OF Scotland
was crowned sitting on that stone. Ills
successors for years afterward followed the
precedent that h. had sci until finally
Scotland Yielded 10 the army Of England
and the government was transferred from
Iona to London and the Stone of Destiny
was carried there. " it'll 50 much icver nee
did the people regard this strangely shapen
stone that later ON. when Scotland gained
4 h independence from England. they pro
posed to move back to Scotland the habili
mcnts OF royalty that had been brought from
hence, and the English people quietly sub
miiled while they saw all the trappiEg-
Of ROYALTY taken away from them and car
ried back 10 Scotland, but when the con-
missioncr> appointed for that purpose vert
mie.iourrs appointed for that purpose went

The whole population of London arose en-
mas-e and swore that that stone should
never leave that city. We're they told tC
DO that! How did it happen! Was that
IN accident? Was that iust i happen-so!
Explain ii. if you can. That is history.
Instead Of being carried back to Scotland
the Stone of Destiny saved in London anC
has been there ever since. and has been in
its present place in the chair in West
minister Abby for six hundred years and
very King Of England and Of Scotland ana
Of Ireland for all these hundreds anc
hundreds Of years has been crowned sitting
m that stone. Y ~ we'll may the vergel
Cgtidel at Westminster Abbey say to the
curious passelby That is Jacobs Stone
What sort Of a looking thing is it, any
way! Well, it is stone about The size OF
this Bible, very rough, very irregular, and
shows that il was made originally for build
ING purposes but that il had never b en
used for that purpose In it are two iron
rings. evidently put there to put pole
through to carry it about in the long
wanderincs through which it has passed
And so step by step, from the Bible, from
reputable 'r3uI. ION and from history we
can trace Jacobs Stone from the day that
he set II up as pillar Of witness at Bethel
up to this good day when it reposes where
ii has been for hundreds and hundreds OF
years in Westminster Abbey. London. And
now we stop and ask, what does all this
mean to Us. This is very pretty little
love story and nice study of history, but
does it mean anything TO us? Yea, verify.
verify, it msans everything to us. Remem
Der the promises that 10 J2cob and his
descendants should belong the promised
land. Remember the promises that Israel
should always have descendant of David

promise that in the latter days this people
should 60 back, back. back to their home
land in Palestine, and God would always
be their God. From that time 10 this the
royal line of descent is unbroken and

daughter of King Zedekiah, the royal line OF

of England is absolutely unbroken. I'm
