Whit America Needs

To the Editor Of The Times
What America needs Is Christ's
kingdom on earth, and to know that
the day Of Gods vengeance against
Satan's empire, visible and invisible,
Is here and that the re-establishment
Of the old world IL an impossibility
and that the establishment Of the
Kingdom of God through Christ Jesus
is here, and that all powers and or
carnations that do not willingly sub
nit TO the righteous reign of the Lord
will be destroyed
What America needs is for big bust
ness to cease exploiting the people, the
politician to faithfully represent the
people and the clergy to tell the PEG
pie the truth concerning Gods plan
and arrangements, and by obeying
Gods law of love, we could have his
will done on earth as 1t is in Heaven,
and Messiahs kingdom would be es-
tablished by him without further
trouble or distress; but failing thus to
do. greater trouble must shortly fol
low.
What America needs is men with
clean hands and a pure heart, which
can only come through Christ's
kingdom when He is Lord Of Lords
and King of Kings.
