ISRAEL could not be powerful in the army without being well supported in her navy; because she had to occupy the best part of the time of her exile in an insular position, in the "coasts of the earth" and the "isles of the sea." Therefore, if if strong in the one, she must be strong in the other. Her very training in times of old would fit her for maritime affairs, because the whole Mediterranean coast was occupied by Israel. Judah had no sea coast, except the worthless border of the Dead Sea. Israel knew seamanship, because "Hiram sent in the: navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon" (1 Kings ix. 27). The tribe of Dan were ship-owners, also Zebulon. God speaks; of Israel as those who "go down to the sea in ships, and do business in great waters" (Ps. cvii. 23). We also have clear historical evidence that' Israel did trade with Britain for tin, which could not. have been done without ships, and after their settlement in the isles. Their naval prowess is recorded: in Scripture, " Ye that go down to the sea, and- all that is them; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof (Isa. xlii. 10). " His seed shall be in many. waters, and his kingdom shall be exalted" And when in search of Colonies, God promised to "lead them, even by the springs of water shall He guide them" (Isa: xlix. to). So that we have clear evidence that Israel, wherever they. are, must know the use of ships, aid be powerful by them;; and it is enough for

THE IDENTITY to say that "Britannia rules the waves."
