Nations as a guarantee against war, I turn me to the greatest history (His-story, God's story) of the greatest people the world has ever possessed, the Bible, and I find "Armageddon" is yet to be fought; and ere it is fought, comes a time of trouble, such a time of trouble as the world has never seen before nor ever will see, "the time of Jacob's trouble”—and we Canadians, Yanks and British are all of Jacob's seed. But at the end we shall finally be saved out of it.

The allwise Creator laid down His plan. through the mouths of His prophets and later through His son, our Lord, for the handling of all world problems by His executive nation Israel, of which the church was a part. "Thou, Israel art my servant." "With thee will I break in pieces the nations." Did the church ever smash nations? Yet ministers claim the church is Israel! "He cast out the heathen also before them." "I will subdue thine enemies." "They that strive with thee shall perish." Also "Be ye not unequally yoked together."

Then after we won the war, along comes our politicians and yours at Versailles; and instead of taking the allwise Creator's plan for peace and world progress as their basis, without publicly, at any rate, asking guidance of God through prayer, such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln always asked for and received, these men start in without any public

recognition of the almighty Creator, Ruler, and Upholder of this universe of His and presume to lay down laws and rules to guide God's world to peace and prosperity-and look at the results to-day! Many of the best people among all nations approve: but, gentlemen, it is foredoomed to failure. "Be ye not unequally yoked together” is as applicable to-day as the first day that it was spoken. "Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid. Sanctify the Lord of hosts Himself; and let Him be your fear." (Isa. 8:12, 13.)

The men who think that they can yoke together forty-or is it forty-five divergent outfits?-with ideals as opposite as the north pole is from the south, and that this aggregation can work justly and bring in peace and righteousness when the workers of iniquity get among them have got another think or two coming their way ere they see daylight and peace.

The allwise Creator, who saw the end from the beginning, laid down an entirely different plan, which, when acknowledged and accepted by Britain, America, and their offspring, will cause a league of the Anglo-Saxon-Celtic nations the world over, and they, having the same language, ideas, and ideals of justice and truth, and being God's chosen company or commonwealth of nations, will bring about what the Creator has

ordained from the beginning-righteous peace. But first Armageddon will have to be fought and won, and America will in that day fight side by side with their brother, Ephraim of the Isles, John Bull, and the other Anglo-Saxon nations from the uttermost parts of the earth. India, Arabia, and Japan will be with us and again we will win, as we did the last war, through divine help. Then and not till then can the Armstrongs, the Vickers Co., the Krupps, the United States Steel Corporation, and all the other armament makers the world over scrap their armament departments, because war will be over and done with for a thousand years and, in the ordinary course of events, if my reckoning is correct, a Charles M. Schwab will be on hand to do his scrapping for his company. Perhaps he may take advantage of this advance information and get his plans matured and ready for the coming change. Stranger things have happened.

When the world is in the melting pot, what is it worth in dollars and cents, and even in the depreciated pounds, shillings and pence, to know what is on the cards for the future of Britain and America.

Well, it is all to be had in the cheapest book published in the world, our Bible, and this screed is written for the purpose of giving you a key to "God's living Word" which has become almost a dead word in the nominal Christian of

to-day, because unenlightened ministers of the Gospel have switched us on to a siding with a dead end, though our ticket calls for a Pullman on the fastest train operating on the main lines of the continental through express.

We think highly of a stockbroker who can foresee the turn of the market a few days or weeks ahead, in time to let us in or out, as we happen to want. What should we think of one who over 2500 years ago foretold that Ephraim, Israel (the English) would "do in" Turkey, or Edom, as she did in 1917 just at the end of the predicted 1335 lunar years of the Turkish calendar (and so ended the desolation standing in the Holy Place—see Daniel 12); who foretold that Judah and Israel would again possess their possessions in the Holy Land which extends from the river Nile to the Euphrates; and who foretold the earlier taking of the Ten Lost Tribes captive by the Assyrians, and later the scattering and sifting of them among all the nations yet not a grain of the seed should be lost. Ezekiel said:

"Thus saith the Lord God; Although I have cast them [Israel] far off among the heathen, and although I have scattered them among the countries yet will I be to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they shall come." (Ezek. 11:16.)

This statement could not refer to the Kingdom of Judah (the Jews). They were not carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar, nor was Jerusalem

destroyed until seven years after this prediction was made, so that it must refer to the northern kingdom of Israel, the Ten Tribes that had been carried captive by Assyria 123 years previously.

God has been "as a sanctuary" to all peoples who have gathered into the British Isles from 1600 B.C. From this gathering together in the "isles of the west" one branch was to break away (U.S.A.), because the way was too strait and they must have more freedom to practice their religion in the way they desired, and breaking away, they were to become a great people who, with Mother Britain, were to be a blessing to all nations of the earth.

"The children which thou [Israel] shalt have, after thou hast lost the other [the U.S.A. breaking away], shall say in thine ears, The place is too strait [too small] for me: give place to me that I may dwell." (Isa. 49:20.) And from Mother Britain then started those people who built up these wonderful young nations, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Newfoundland, South Africa, etc.

The time of treading down the Holy Places in Palestine by the Turk having ceased, the time of the Gentiles is finished and we can tell just how far along we are and can estimate when, according to the prophets, the other trials due us are coming, and when that awful day of God Almighty, "Armageddon", is to come,
