his own nomination for the presidency. II

And. behold. this day am going the way
OF Mi the earth: and ye know in all your
hearts and H. all your souls. that not one
thing hath failed OF all the good things
which the Lord your God spakc concerning
you; all are come 10 pass unto you and not
one thing hath failed thereof. Therefore. IL
snail come ito pass. that AS all good things
are come upon YOU which the Lord your
God promised you; shall the Lord bring
upon you all evil things. until he have de-
stroycd you from OFF this good land which the
Lord your God hath given you'-Joshua xiv
1915.

This old universe exists in accordance with

tend to its remotcst activities
God. the author Of these laws has promised
blessings upon those who live in harmony
with them and evil upon those who defy
them, and in the language quoted above we
nave the testimony OF Joshua to the chill
dren Of Israel before his death that not only
had God kept His promise with respect to
the good things which had come upon them
but that He would also visit upon them the
evil things which He had warned them would
