of Judah; not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them. out of the land of Egypt, which my covenant they brake, although I was a husband unto them, saith the LORD.

"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the House of Israel, after those days, saith the LORD:

"I WILL PUT MY LAW IN THEIR INWARD PARTS, AND WRITE IT IN THEIR HEARTS; and will be their GOD, and they shall be my people.

"And they shall teach no more every one his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying: KNOW THE LORD; for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD; for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sins no more.'

Again: "And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD.

"As for me, this is my covenant with them, said the LORD: My Spirit that is upon thee, and my words, which I have put in thy mouth, shall not depart out of thy mouth, nor out of the mouth of thy seed, saith the LORD, from henceforth and forever.

"For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for JERUSALEM'S sake will I not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.

*In this new era, all direct missionary work will have ceased, for all the inhabitants shall know the Lord, and all enjoy and acknowledge the forgiveness of sin. Considering this as a fact and a condition for citizenship in the Messianic kingdom on earth, and considering further that every living being of a different mind will be considered as an enemy and banished, delivered to destruction, what a transformation is to be witnessed in France, for instance, where eight millions boasted of their atheism at the last census, and the Prime Minister, Mr. Briand, declared: "We have banished Jesus Christ from the army, from the navy, from the schools, from the hospitals, from the asylums, and from the orphanages, but we must banish him from the State also."-Maran Ata, by G. A. T., page 100.

How large a percentage of the French population is, then, in a condition to enter with Christ into His kingdom were He to come now? The Jews banished the Christ 1900 years ago, and as a result were banished themselves, and have been in captivity ever since. Such boasting is very dangerous. Is it anything to be wondered at if God has delivered such a nation for a while to bring it back to its senses that some of its people may be saved?

..

The best and most effectual means to save France as a nation from the atrocities of the Kaiser, is to send an army of evangelists and to start a national revival. Then God would send His angel, as in the days of Hezekiah, and scatter the armies of the Kaiser, making them powerless; and the Kaiser himself would meet his Waterloo.

There has been more sickness among the French soldiers than among the English and Canadians, especially respecting the White Plague, about thirty per cent being affected with it. The cause of this is found in the better condition of the English soldier, and this again is ascribed to the English women who have knitted and prepared warm woolen socks and sweaters for their soldiers, while the French women have attended to openbreast waists, ripped shirts, high-heel shoes, preventives and control of childbirths, poisoning the womenkind of the world with its fashion-craze and its immorality.

A distinguished American lady, Mrs. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, writing an account of her travels, observed that so many nude pictures and photographs were displayed in windows and elsewhere in Paris, that if she had a fifteen or eighteen year old daughter, she would not want her to walk with her on streets and in parks in that city.

It is hard to write these things respecting a sister republic to which we owe so much, but as God has just now determined upon an accounting with the nations, and as we are sending our sons to aid and to protect our sister republic, it is well to know something regarding her standing, her credit and debit balances in heaven. For the sacrifice in redeeming her will be commensurate with her debit balance. Our sister will have to be ransomed by blood. If she will but repent, confess, and acknowledge the sufficiency of the blood of Jesus Christ, her debit balance would quickly be obliterated, expunged by the covenant blood of the Christ; but if it shall be effected by the sacrifice of American boys, the price will be great.

"And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory. And thou shalt be

"Called by a NEW NAME, which the mouth of the LORD shall

name.

"Thou shalt also be a CROWN OF GLORY IN THE HAND OF THE LORD, AND A ROYAL DIADEM IN THE HAND OF THY GOD.

"Thou shalt no more be termed forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah (my delight in her) and thy land Beulah (beloved wife); for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.

"For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee; and as a bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy GOD rejoice over thee.

"I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O JERUSALEM, which shall never hold their peace day nor night.

"Ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,

“And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make JERUSALEM a praise in the earth . . . .

....

"Go through, go through the gates; prepare ye the way of people; cast up, cast up the highway; gather out the stones; lift. up a standard for the people.

"The Lord Hath Proclaimed. Behold, the LORD hath prolaimed unto the end of the world:

Say ye to the DAUGHTER OF ZION:

Behold, thy Salvation cometh.

Behold, his reward is with him, and

His work before him.

And they shall call them the Holy People, the REDEEMED of the LORD, and thou shalt be called Sought Out.

A CITY NOT FORSAKEN.

Longevity Restored.

"But be ye glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create JERUSALEM A REJOICING, AND HER PEOPLE A JOY.

And I WILL REJOICE in Jerusalem, and JOY in my people, And the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

There shall be no more thence an infant of days,

Nor an OLD MAN THAT HATH NOT FILLED HIS DAYS; For the CHILD shall die a hundred years old;

But the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed." Notice: The Patriarchal longevity will return, so that one who dies at the age of one hundred years shall be considered to have died as a child; and such early death will be considered as a result of sin-he will be accursed.

"And they shall build houses and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them
