birth. growth. maturity, and death.

The tares and wheat cannot con-

their defense of his teaching and in
their demonstration Of that Mind

God is being separated from the
tares. the tares to be burned, the
wheat to be garnered into heavenly
places.
For as the lightning cometh
out of the east. and shineth even

Then shall two be in the field:

1t Is evident that at his second ap-
pearing, Christ planted his standard
In America, and established Gods
law and government through the Pill
grims and the Mayflower compact.
The spiritual law of God was recog-
rized and executed through the Dec
laration Of Independence; through
Washington and our Constitution:
through Monroe and the immortal
Monroe Doctrine, and through Lincoln
in his Emancipation Proclamation. In
PROOF of his words, And 1, If be
lifted up will draw all men
unto me-" Christ drew to him all who
were then ready to respond to the
Will OF God. Thus America, the pill
grim from material sense to Soul.
from so-called matter to Mind, began
the work under the control Of the in
visible Christ. for whose coming the
pioneer settlers had longed.
The true American, inspired BY
God and His Christ, knows that
America was founded upon spiritual
ideals and that her ideals must be
defended and preserved. America
must free herself from theocratic au-
tocracy and pagan philosophy. it
was in America, in 1866, that the
voice Of Christ was again heard BY
his disciples of this age, 10, I am
with you Away, even unto the end"

waves of sin, sorrow. and death

Health. Our nation, America, is in
travail. She is struggling to free
herself from The presence Of the in
vader. "the accuser," and the op2res-
sor, whose autocratic human will is
opposed to the divine will, upon
which Christ founded America. The
fruits of obedience to Gods will are
apparent in the phenomenal prosper
ity to which America has attained.
When Americans bring all their
"tithes into the storehouse," the
promise of God will be fulfilled: I
will pour you out a blessing, that
there shall not be room enough to
receive it." Q2.
Christ. Gods vicegerent. is on the
field, keeping watch above his own.
All who possess the Mind Of Christ
are assured of his presence and are
sustained by his protecting power.
