NOTHING can be clearer that Israel must now be under a monarchy. If this were not an established fact, we might to all intents' and purposes throw the Bible to the winds. It would be weak and idiotic, childish and absurd, to-pin our faith to the promise of salvation through the blood of our Saviour, if we could not also accept the special promise of, the Almighty, His Holy Covenant to Israel, that their kingdom should continue even` in their exile; reason must show to us how thoroughly . unchristian it would be for us to select through our own whim and fancy what promises of God we should believe in, and what we should refuse. If we reject one; we are bound logically to reject all; if we accept one we must receive all. Hence we maintain that all sincere Christians who can see their salvation through Christ the Lamb, are bound by their fidelity to God to believe that Israel must now be serving' under a monarchy. The Almighty would have broken His oath to Abraham, if this were not so; because He promised Abraham, "Kings shall come out of thee" (Gen. xvii. 6). "A nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and' kings shall come out of thy loins " (Gen. xxxv. 11). By whichwe see that attached to this decree is the promise that he should be "a father of many nations," his wife " a mother of nations" ' (Gen. xvii. 5, 16) ; and as Israel, when in their land in days of old, were never "a nation and a company of nations," it follows that this promise could only be realized to them in its fulness when in their captivity-the time when we are distinctly told that "the shout of a king should be in their midst" (Numbers xxiii. 2r), the veritable time when they had settled in 'the isles, when we are told that "Kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers" (Isa. xlix 23; see verse 1). The position of the monarchy is really established by so many Scriptures that it is needless to upon the point. Thus, " there shall not fail thee a man in thy sight to sit on the throne of Israel" (ist Kings viii. 25). "I will build up thy throne to all generations" (Ps. lxxxix. 4). "I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel FOREVER" (rst Chron. xxii. 10).

THE IDENTITY will be satisfied by the mere mention of the glorious fact, that the great British Empire is under the most powerful and enduring monarchy that has ever been founded in any age of the history of the world,-a monarchy that carries with it true liberty, and that has lifted us up to be the happiest, the wealthiest,, and the most highly privileged of all the peoples of the universe. God be thanked for the British Monarchy!
