"Jesus Christ And The Nation" Was | The Subject. He Dealt With--Re-| Ngion Has to do With a Nation's 'Making. The Thursday night meeting, in gon- nection with the special week of'pray- er, was held in" th First Baptist church. The pastor, Rev. D. Laing, presided, and Rev. 8, Sellery, was the! gpenker. His subject was "Jesus (Christ and the Nation." Rev. Mr. ellurylopake in part : What | has Christiadity to do with the state, | with its well being, ite ity, its stability, and what hus Christianity to do with trade, with.commerce, with education, with the strength and in- fluence of a nation. Christianity, you say, hag to do with our salvation, with our getting what has it to ith finances. Where is the balance of trade? Is not that the question ? For what interest can the nation borrow ? Ts not that the test 7? Why should righteousness exalt a nation. Why should wright eousuess unmake a nation? Why does versities, liberate slaves, create noble civilizations % That it does not belongs to the eternal fitness of things, "Rome shall perish' sang the poet, but why, and the answer i8, heeause of the blood that she has spilt. The viola. tion-of the eternal laws of rightequs- ness is the undermining of national strength. "What makes nations great and keeps them wo." The answe: - is righteousness. "What ruins kingdoms and lays cities flat." The answer is sin, moral corruption. An unrighteous people can transforma into a desert a land once flowing with milk and honey. This is what has happened in Palestine under the reign the Turk. A righteous people can tigke a com- paratively bleak and barren country and make it a glory and power in the world. This is what the Pilgrims and Pyritans did in New England. Tt is no mecident of geography that Christ. isn nations rule the wobld. If a Christain people had occupied China during these long ages' that marvel lously .r'eh region would long before now have heen the focus of the world, Thecshief element in national pros perity is national character and the chief element in national character is religion, t iw certain that weligiod cannot change the climate of a country. HI cannot make 'fertile soll out of rocks and boulders. It cannot make lakes and rivers, forests and mines. These things have to do with a nation's prosperity and influence. Tt follows that all nations cannot be equally prosperous and powerful. .

But from whom are we to get laws enaet- ed and enforced that will most effec tually 'protect these great interests. hood, the highest{ type of character, and what religion will do this ? The answer is Christianity, and the answer is: Christianity, because it is a super- natural . religion; the only veligion that can regenerate the human hears. "This is the distinguishing difierence be- tween Christianity and every oth er religion. It will be found "that a nation's lapws reflect or embody its religion. Mohammedanism is the ex- planation of the political 'condition rkey. Buddhism and Brabmidism explain the condition of India. Con: fucianism the . condition of China. Christianity the condition of Great Britain, United States and Ger- mony. Every nation that has gome to ruin has dome sO through 'a false system of religion. The cause of na- tional decline is in nearly ali cases moral. The only way to make Tur- key as prosperous as England is to put an end to Mohammedanism and put Christianity in its stead. = The only way to make great mations out of India nnd Chipa 1 to Christianize them. Just as this dominion becomes more and more Christian, will its civ: il policy become more and more as similated to the spirit and teachipg of Christ, As a nation we complain of politi- eal corruption. The only remedy for political. corruption is more Chais- tianity, . mors Christianity in ou politics and 'that means more Chris vanity in our pohucians and wna means more Christianity in those who make them politiciaus. Our laws reflect our Jlaw-makers, and these reflect the 'character of those make them law-makers, so that in the last analysis the remedy is in the hands of the individual voter. : We complain of the evils of the drink traffic. The remedy is in the hands o the people. When we get Christianity enough to put principle before party then we will settle this question: But while grit votes for the grit and the tory for the tory, no matter whethe: he is a temperance man or a man soak ed with whiskey, \The liguor interest will win the day.
