MEMORY SELECTION -
Great and marvellous are thy
works, Lord God Almighty;
just and true are thy ways,
thou King of saints. Who shall
not fear thee, o Lord, and glor-
ify thy name? for thou only
art holy; for all nations shall
come and worship before
thee; for thy judgments are
made manifest Revelation
1873, a.. The Lord Jesus
Christ should be recognized in
His supremacy. This involves
not only His Person, but His
attributes, works and offices.
He should be recognized as
the Creator of the world and
the Redeemer of the fallen eS-
tate of Adam. He is the King
of all saints, which is a posi-
ton all saints recognize and
appreciate. Some day He will
be King over all the earth and
will reign universally and
righteously. 1t is better to rec
ognize and accept Him now
and let Him be our Saviour,
than to await the day when
He will enforce His redemp-
tive rights and bring judgment
and justice to all men and ma
tiOnS.
UNIVERSAL PEACE OF
THE LATTER DAYS:
"But in the last days it shall
come to pass, that the noun
tain of the house of the Lord
shall be established in the top
of the mountains, and it shall
be exalted above the hills; and
people shall flow unto it =
The new universal kingdom
shall be established forever
that it shall not be removed
or pass away, and its spiritual
attraction will draw people
from all parts of the world
and blend them into one great
family under the reign of God.
And many nations shall come,
and say, Come, and let us go
up to the mountain of the
Lord, and to the house of the
God of Jacob; and he will
teach us of his ways, and we
will walk in his paths: for the
law shall go forth of Zion, and
the word of the Lord from
Jerusalem" - All the nations
of the world belong to God,
and he is equally concerned
for them all. We are living
in the days of the unfolding
of this prophecy. 1t is long
way ahead before the program
can be considered to be COM
plete, but progress is constant
ly being made, and it will some
day be realized. "And he shall
judge among many people, and
rebuke strong nations afar off;
and they shall beat their
swords into plowshares, and.
their spears into pruning
hooks: nation shall not life up
a sword against nation, neither
shall they learn war any more"
Every nation, whether it rec
ognizes the sovereignty of God
or not, is under his authority
and is subject to his power.
Strong nations as well as weak
ones come under the judgment
of God and cannot escape His
divine will.
"But they shall sit every
man under his vine and under
his fig tree; and none shall
make them afraid: for the
mouth of the Lord of hosts
hath spoken it, This con-
dition of universal peace and
security is in deep contrast to
fear, intimidation, and con-
flict which makes people a.
fraid of each other and at
tack each other to take what
is someone else's or to protect
their own. This lack of Sc
curity among the nations will
have given way to confidence,
trust, and love among the ma
tons before we can abide ev-
cry man under his own wine
and fig tree" For all
people will walk every one in
the name of his god, and we
will walk in the name of the
Lord our God for ever and
ever Eventually, all of us
will have to walk in the way
of the Lord God of Israel ac-
cOrding to the word of the
