IT is the peculiar prerogative of Israel to obtain decisive victories by the use of only a small force. The privileges of Israel were not forfeited by the event of their captivity. Hence one of the seals of God's favour upon them that they hold to this day, is, that "Ye shall chase your enemies, and-they shall fall before you by the sword; and five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight ; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword" (Lev. xxvi. 7, 8). "When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a 'people MORE than thou, be not afraid' of them, for the Lord thy God is with thee" (Deut. xx. 1). "Thou shalt not multiply horses to thyself" (Deut. xvii. 16). We cannot introduce all the Scripture references that could be given, otherwise for every text we have advanced we could produce ten more to substantiate it. Not texts apart from the subject matter, i.e., applying to Gentiles, and to Israel, having no connection with each other, and mixed up together, but we could produce texts applied by Go only to Israel, whose contexts would brilliantly support the propositions laid down.

THE IDENTITY. We area the only nation that can dare to face fearful odds, This seal of Identity with Israel was verified in the Peninsular War, when the Duke of Wellington bravely withstood, by a small . army, nearly the entire forces of the Continent. We withstood the people of China, computed by millions, with only a few boat-loads' of men, and prevailed against them. We hold India, with her teeming millions, under the power of a few white men. We prevailed against Russia at the Crimea with but a very small force. We went into Abyssinia with but a handful of Englishmen, and put their millions to the right about without scarcely striking a blow; and only recently Captain Glover, now Sir John Glover, who played perhaps the most difficult part in the subjugation of the Ashantees, had only ten white men in his company, including himself. Thus again we produce a seal only given to Israel, and which Israel must have with her this very day, proving that we must be Israel. This Identity comes out more beautifully, seeing that we have never had the advantage of meeting the enemy in our own country, but have always performed the most difficult and costly task of transporting our army in ships, suffering the great disadvantage of having oceans intervening between !he battle-field and the resources of the mother country.

Persons have raised an objection to this Identity, by asking how it would stand if applied against united Germany of the present day; but this is no objection at all. God only applied it to our " enemies." The Germans are not our enemies, therefore the objection cannot hold good. If they became so; we have faith to believe that God would be faithful to his promise,' but there are evidences to prove that Germany could not become our enemy. They have other work in store.
