I have said these thing about the magni
tude of the continent and given you a few
specimen of some of It wonders to let Ton
know the comprehensiveness of the text when
It says that Christ Is going to have dominion
from sea tones: that ir, from the Atlantic to
the I'aolfle. Reside that, the salvation of
thi continent mean the salvation of Asia,
for we are only thirty-sis mil. (mm Asia
at the northwest. Only Retiring Straff
separate us from Asia, and these will Im
spanned by a groat bridge before another
century close, and prolmhly long liefor
that. The thirty-six miles of "water between
these two continents are not all deep sea,
but have three island and there are also
shoals which will allow pier for bridges, and
for the most of the way the water is only
alxmt twenty fathoms deep.
The Amarico-Asiatic bridge which will
yet span those strait will make America,
Asia, Kuro(ie and Africa one continent.
Ho you see Amri'in evangelized, Asia will lie
evangelized. Kuroie taking Asia from one
side and America taking it from the other
side. Our great-grandchildren will cross
that bridge. America and Asia and
F.urope nil one, what substractinn from

cies in Revelation will be fiillilhsl
"There shall la no more sea." Rut do I
mean literally that this American continent
is going to lie nil gosclize1? I do. Christo
pher Columbus, when he wont ashore from
the Santa Marin, and hi second brother
Alonxo, whi n he went ashore from the I'lnta,
and hi third brother Vincent, when he went
ashore from the Nina, took possession of this
country in th name of the Father and tha
Hon aud the Holy tiluwt.
Satan has no more right to this country
than I have to your Hs-ketlHsik. To hear
liiin talk on the roof of the Temple, where he
(roMd to give Christ the kingdoms of this
world and the glory of them, you might snp
Jsise that Sntan was a grent. capitalist or that
lie was loaded tip with real estate, when the
old miscreant never owned nti acre or an inch
of ground on this planet. For that reason I
protest against something I heard and saw
this summer and other summers in Montana
and Oregon and Wyoming nnd Idaho nnd
Colorado and California. They hnve given
ileviilstlc names to uiauy place's in tho West
and Northwest.

i The pulpit and a Christian printing press hnr

I for the llrst plow. Not by th siwer of cold,
I formnlistic theology, not by ecclesiastical
technicalitii-s. I am ic' of tha'ii and the
world is sick of them. Rut it will lv done by
the warm hearted, sympathetic presentation
of the fact that Christ is ready to pardon all
our sins and heal nil our wounds and save ui
both for thi world and the next, l.-t youl
religion of glaciers crnck off and fall Into tin
Oulf Strenm and get limited. Tak all yoiu
creels of nil detioinlnutioiis and drop out ol
them nil human phraseology and put in only
scriptural phraseology nnd you will sej how
quick the people will jump lifter them.
On the Columbia River a few (lavs ago wt
saw tho salmon jump clear out nf tho water
in different place. I supn-we for the purHs
of getting the Insect. And If when wo want
to tish for men we could only hnva the right
kind of halt they will spring out a! wive th

The Young Men' Christian Associations ol
America will also do part of the work. All
over the continent I saw this summer theit
new buildings rising. In Vaiu-miTer' I
asked: "What are you going to put on that
sightly place!" Tho answer was: "A Youiiu

rinn of a Review The fact of the ras
twelve lenson may bn easily rememltfi-cd, if
they are arranged in the following three
group:
1. Samuel and F.li (Less. 1-1). 2. 8nmue
and caul (Less. IV-7. a. Knnl and David
(I. 0-1'i.) Wo havo then the call of three
person In succession: Samuel, Saul and
David; the death of live noted persons: F.li,
Ooliah, Samuel, Snul and .lohnnthan. Thu
history and biography unite to impress the
lesson, Obey Uod.
Sketch of a Bevlew Hannah, the wife
of a Hebrew of Mount Fphrnlm, asks tha
Lord for a son. The Uird gave her a son in
answer to wnver. She called him Samuel
and gave him to the Ixird in his childhood.
He lived with F.li the priest. The Ixird
called Samuel one night, and told him that
Eli's son were wicked, yet Ell had not cor
rected them. So tho Lord said Ho would
punun r.ll and his son. 1 he sons were slain
in liattle, nnd Ell fell over and died, when
be heard of their death.
Samuel told the nsiple they must o!sy
Ood: but the people asked for a king. So the
Lord had Samuel tell them what a king would
make them do, and gave them Saul for a
king. Samuel then gave up his rule over the
Kiple, nnd made a farewell address. But

anoint David as tho king of Israel. (Snliath,
a great Philistine giant, dared the army of
Israel to send men to tight with him: but
David slew thuiath. Saul's son Jonathan
loved David, but Snul wa jealous of
him and tried to kill Dnvld, yet David nobly
spared Saul when he could have easily killed
him. In a great battle with the Philistine
the army of Israel was defeated. Saul' son
slain, and Saul fell upon hi own sword aud
