 BY 
 
 HENRY WENT WORTH MONK, 
 
 OTTAWA, CANADA, JUNE, 1890. 
 
 " The hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried me out in 
 the spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley 
 which was full of bones j and caused me to pass by them round 
 about j and, behold, there were very many in the open valley ; 
 and, lo, they were very dry. And he said unto me. Son of Man, 
 can these bones live ? and I answered, Lord God, thouknowest. 
 Again he said unto me, prophesy upon these bones, and say unto 
 them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of the Lord ; thus saith the 
 Lord God unto these bones : Behold I will cause breath to enter 
 into you, and ye shall live ; .... So I prophesied, as I was 
 commanded ; and as I prophesied, there was a UOiSO, and behold, 
 a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone ; and 
 when I beheld, lo, the sinews and the flesh came up upon them, 
 and the skin covered them above ; but there was no breath in them. 
 Then said he unto me. Prophesy unto the wind, Prophesy, Son 
 of Man, and say to the wind, thus saith the Lord God ; Come 
 from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that 
 they may live. So I prophesied as he commanded me, and the 
 breath came into them, and they lived, and stood up upon their 
 feet, an exceeding great army. Then he said unto we, Son of 
 
M56 
 
 Man, these bones are the whole house of Israel ;" &c. — Ezekiel 
 XXX vii, 1 — 11. 
 
 In the above quotation from the Divinely-inspired prophecies, 
 " the whole house of Israel " is declared to be like a " valley, full 
 of bones," which were " very many," and also " very dry ; " and 
 as it naturally appears quite hopeless that such a " valley full of 
 bones " should become organized, " bone to his bone," so does it 
 also appear about equally hopeless that "the whole house of 
 Israel " should now become organized as " an exceeding great 
 army," and enjoy spiritual " life," instead of being (as at 
 present) spiritually ♦' dead," as so many " dry bones." " The 
 whole house of Israel " (as T have repeatedly proved,) includes all 
 the nations of Christendom, (as well as the Jewish people, who 
 are but the two tribes of Judah and Benjamin) the nations of 
 Christendom being the other " ten tribes of Fsrael ; " but both the 
 Jewish people and the Christian nations, are declared to be now 
 spiritually " dead ; " for thy " both " have now utterly ceased to 
 manifest any spiritual vitality, by " faith in God " our Creator ; 
 as has been abundantly proved by my thirty-seven years work in 
 favour of ** the Kingdom of God " upon earth ; for, if " faith," or 
 spiritual " life," now existed in Christendom, to any perceptible 
 degree, some one (during all these years) would certainly have 
 combined with me, so as to " seek first the Kingdom of God, 
 and his righteousness," as directed by Jesus Christ ; but none 
 have yet combined with me in this great work, simply because 
 none possessed the requisite " faith," or spiritual " life " — all being 
 about as spiritually •' dead " as so many " dry bones," without 
 either organization or vitality. 
 
 The question is : By what means must the much needed 
 organization and spiritual " life" begin to manifest itself now in 
 Christendom 1 The prophet Ezekiel answers this question plainly 
 enough in the following words : "So I prophesied, as I was 
 commanded ; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, 
 a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to his bone," <fec. 
 (Ezekiel xxxvii, 7 — 11) There must evidently be *' a noise," or 
 an agitation of the question, in the press and on the platform, 
 and in whatever other ways men usually agitate any question in 
 which they are generally and thoroughly interested. Such " a 
 noise " would cerUinly soon occasion a corresponding " shaking," 
 and then many absurd ideas and false doctrines would soon yield 
 to the i' shaking," (resulting from the "noise " or agitation,) and 
 
 
r 
 
 1 ^-^'^ ♦^ 
 
 much truth would gladly be accepted in the place of previous 
 absurdity and falsehood ; so that multitudes would immediately 
 organize in favour of the dominion of " mercy and truth .... 
 righteousness and peace" over the whole earth, which is simply 
 " the Kingdom of God," that all Christendom has been so conti- 
 nually praying for during the past eighteen centuries. 
 
 Some people (looking at this matter superficially, or thought- 
 lessly,) may say, What do you want to make " a noise " about 1 or. 
 Why should we do anything which may occasion " a shaking ?' 
 Why not go on precisely as we have gone on hitherto, and let 
 eve^'ything take its course? I answer, because the circumstances 
 of -he whole world have been changed entirely during the past 
 generation, by .means of modern progress, railroads, steamships, 
 and telegraphs, &c., and we are now called \ pon to accommodate 
 ouiTselves to the present circumstances of the world, (and not 
 foolishly to ignore modern progress, and act as though the world 
 was now no further advanced materially than it was a century 
 ago.) In former generations, nations have learned by experience 
 that they must be prepared to defend themselves from each other 
 by force of arms ; for o'^herwise they practically invited aggression, 
 and laid themselves open to spoliation. In these days, however, 
 armaments corresponding to those of our neighbours, are by no 
 means adequate protection from aggression and spoliation ; simply 
 because "all nations" are now practically as close together as the 
 different portions of any one great nation have been hitherto, aad 
 consequently, any serious wai* may now immediately involve the 
 vhole world, so that every nation may become liable to aggression 
 or spoliation by any number of the others at onoe. Thus adequate 
 protection, by any force of arms whatever, becomes quite impossi- 
 ble, unless the principle of a General Government is accepted ; 
 when, of course, the General Government would become responsible 
 for the general security ; each locality, or nation bping responsible 
 only for the maintenance of " law and order " within its own 
 jurisdiction, which is easy enough comparatively ; consequently, 
 national security in future, depends not so much upon national 
 armaments, as upon the acceptance of the principle of a General 
 Government responsible for the maintenance of " law and order" 
 over the whole world. 
 
 To what good purpose is it therefore, that the nations are 
 continually increasing their armaments from year to year 1 For H 
 
 is evident tliat tlie nations eannot possible provide 
 
m 
 
 adequate protection for themselves now by any 
 armaments whatever! However great they may 
 be ! Unless the principle of a General <Jovernment 
 
 is accepted ! When, of course, but little armaments (compa- 
 ratively) would be required ; for the General Government would 
 naturally become strong enough to be responsible for international 
 "law and order.' Why then should'nt the nations at once 
 cease to vie with each other in increising theii respective 
 armaments 1 (which can no longer afford them the requisite 
 protection) and why should'nt the nations also begin now rather 
 to vie with each other in favoring the erection of a Supreme 
 International Tribunal '? which would afford all the requisite 
 security from aggression, or spoliation, with comparatively little, 
 or none, of the enormous expense attending the maintenance of 
 great standing armies. 
 
 There is evidently no good reason whatever, why the nations 
 shouldn't now be induced to act reasonably, prudently, and wisely, 
 in accordance with the present circumstances of the civilized 
 world, rather than that they »hould be allowed to go blindly to 
 destruction by pursuing a course, which (however it might be 
 adapted to the requirements of former generations) is utterly 
 inadequate to the needs of our day. Bat if we would induce the 
 nations to act more wisely in reference to the great need of the 
 present day, (or indeed to alter their present course, in any degree 
 whatever,) wo must certainly contrive somehow to make such 
 "a noise " as will be calculated to attract their attention to the 
 subject, and providentially we have material at hand for making 
 as great "a noise" as will probably be required for this purpose. 
 
 Ecclesiastical Christendom affords abundant material for 
 making all the " noise " that the present occasion may require; 
 for Kcclesiastical Christendom is perhaps the largest and most 
 comprehensive institution that the world has yet known ; but as 
 it has already fulfilled its purpose in the earth, and now exists 
 merely as a " dead " formality, blocking the way of the world's 
 further progress ; (the " noise," which its sudden and immediate 
 removal will naturally occasion, being about the extent of its 
 present value), therefore, let Ecclesiastical Christendom be utilized 
 unsparingly for making " a noise " that it may thus serve to 
 rescue " all nations " from the general anarchy and destruction, 
 which certainly now threatens them, as is so plainly declared in 
 the following words of the Divinely inspired prophecies, " Come 
 
T 
 
 near, y« Datiooa, to hear ; and hearkei), ye people ;..... 
 for the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury 
 upon all their armies ; he hath utterly destroyed thom, lie hath 
 delivered them to the slaughter ; .... for the Lord hath 
 a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom" — 
 (Isaiah xxxiv, I — 6 ) As " Bozrah " was the capital of " Edom," 
 and as " Edom " is elsewhere descrihed as representing " all the 
 nations that are called by my name, saith the Lord that doetli 
 this " — (Amos ix, 12) that is, of course, ail the Christian nations, 
 who are called by the name of Jesus Christ, (who is " the Lord 
 that doeth this ; " — ) The prophesy evidently refers to the nations 
 of Christendom. 
 
 It is modem progress which now certainly exposes " all 
 nations" to destruction, by bringing them all so very close toge- 
 ther, and by placing such very effective weapons of dc&truction in 
 their hands (as are the implements of modern warfare.) While 
 Ecclesiastical Christendom is practically '' blind," as well as deaf 
 and dumb, to all this threatened evil ; making no serious attempt 
 whatever to avert it ; therefore Ecclesiastical Christendom must 
 now " fall," and itself become the ** sacrifice " that will serve to 
 avert the threatened destruction of " all nations ; " this is intima- 
 ted clearly enough in figurative language, when it is declared 
 that, at this time, "all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and 
 the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll ; and all their host 
 shall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from the vine, and as the 
 falling fig from the fig tree " — (Isaiah xxxiv, 4.) Ecclesiastical 
 Christendom must now disappear " as a scroll when it is rolled 
 together ; " and the clergy generally must be compelled by the 
 force of circumstances to advocate " the Kingdom of God " upon 
 earth, or become subject to the poverty and contempt to which their 
 refusal to accommodate themselves to the requirements of the age 
 would now inevitably expose them. 
 
 It is also concerning the great modern " Babylon " of Eccle- 
 siastical Christendom that the following very remarkable prophecy 
 was uttered : •' The Lord of hosts hath sworn by himself, sajing, 
 surely 1 will fill thee with men, as with caterpillars ; and they 
 shall lift up a shout against thee." (Jeremiah li, 14.) And again, 
 when the •* fall " of this great modern " Babylon " is foretold in 
 " The Eevelation," "a voice from heaven " is describe 1 as saying, 
 " Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of horsing, 
 and that ye receive not of her plagues," &c. (Rev. xviii, 1 — 4, 
 
6 
 
 &c.) Why then shouldn't at least " two or three" of the Clergy 
 in Ottawa act now, as " the voice from heaven " requires them 1 
 so as to " come out " of Ecclesiastical Christendom without delay, 
 protesting ngainst the prevailing lukewarmness, indifference and 
 want of faith ; and calling upon their fellows to begin to work 
 •laow in earnest to establish "the Kingdom of God" upon earth, 
 by causing people generally to understand clearly that warfare 
 must now be abolished by means of a Supreme International 
 Tribunal, and that peaceable possession of Palestine must also be 
 immediately obtained, that it may be made a worthy capital for 
 the whole world, as stated in my last little pamphlet,, (" How to 
 do it.") If only " two or three " of the Ottawa Clergy were now 
 to •' come out " in earnest, as required ; their action wouM doubtless 
 be noticed, and commented upon ; and in justifyinf^ themselves, 
 they would probably convince others. Thus the question might 
 soon be brought to the attention of the world generally ; when, 
 of course, the predicted " noise " and " shaking " would naturally 
 follow in succession ; and all those in favour of " the Kingdom of 
 God " upon earth might easily then begin to organize themselves 
 into one vast association, that thus they might act effectively for 
 the continual security and welfare of the whole human family. 
 
 Any of the Clergy who may desire now to introduce " the 
 Kingdom of God " upon earth immediately, need only announce 
 the fact to his congregation ; explaining to them that henceforth 
 he recognizes no ecclesiastical institution whatever ; but intends 
 to devote himself directly to the work of abolishing warfare, (and 
 even the liability to war,) by earnestly advocating the erection of 
 a Supreme International Tribunal, which would leave the nations 
 without excuse, or occasion, for war henceforth. 
 
 That he considers moreover, that all true religion (so far as 
 religion is practical, at least,) consists in an overwhelming regard 
 for the welfare and advancement of the whole human family 
 generally. That the minds, or spirits, of human beings must 
 sooner or later be qualified to act as agents (or angels) of our 
 Creator, or of ffesus Christ ; and that (in order to be qualified for 
 this) it is absolutely essential that we should learn to be in full 
 sympathy with the beneficent purposes of our Creator, and of 
 Jesus Christ, conccrninsf our fellow man. 
 
 That, as to creed or belief, it is very plainly declared that 
 " the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the 
 waters cover the sea ; " and that therefore he hopes that the time 
 
^' 
 
 has arrived at last when positive knowledge must supercede more 
 creed, or belief ; and that henceforth he will endeavour to know^ 
 and understand clearly the eternal truths himself, and then 
 communicate his knowledge according as he acquires it. That 
 positive knowledge possessed by a man, is like the " living water " 
 of truth, that Jesus Christ declares to be as " a well of water 
 springing up unto eternal life ; " for positive knowledge is con- 
 tinually growing ; as modern science, and modern scientists, can 
 both testify. 
 
 That also, as to the funds requisite for the work of establishing 
 " the Kingdom of God " upon earth ! The Prophet Malachi states 
 as distinctly as possible that "all the tithes," or '• the tenth " part 
 of the wealth of the community, (as well as the " offerings ") are 
 to be devoted to this purpose. Malachi iii, 7 — 10. That therefore, 
 he will undertake to keep an exact account of all that he receives 
 as " tithes," and of all that he receives as " offerings ; " and after 
 deducting what he requires as salary, or for personal needs ; and 
 other expenses ; he will hold the balance subject to the order of 
 the General Association, as soon as officials shall be regularly 
 chosen to receive the funds, and to attend to the other business 
 of the Association. 
 
 It will readily be perceived that, when a few of the Clergy 
 once begin to introduce *' the Kingdom of God" upon earth, in 
 some such manner as I have here indicated ; the great majority of 
 the other clergy, who happen to be at all remarkable for ability, 
 comprehension, understanding, or generous large-hearted humanity ; 
 will rapidly follow their example ; (so that none but the compara- 
 tively ignorant, narrow-minded, fanatical, and perverse ; or, in 
 short, the very dn^gs of Ecclesiastical Christendom ; will remain 
 still within the pale of the various Ecclesiastical Sects of 
 Christendom ;) and the result will be one vast organization des- 
 cribed by the prophet Ezekiel as " an exceeding great army," 
 earnestly devoted to the establishment of a Supreme International 
 Tribunal, and the abclition of war, (and of all liability to war ;) 
 at once, and for ever ; that henceforth the Dominion of " mercy 
 
 and truth righteousness and peace" may prevail over the 
 
 whole earth ; that the continual prayer of all Christendom 
 for the past eighteen centuries (" Thy Kingdom Come ") may thus 
 be fully answered at last ; and in accordance also with the in^ 
 spired prediction that "as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as 
 the garden cauiseth the things that are sown ia it to spring forth 
 
 > 
 
80 Hhall tho Lord God cause righteousness and praise to spring 
 forth before all the nations." — Isaiah Ixi, 11 — and thus may be 
 Boeu also the force and meaning of the declaration of Jesus Christ, 
 that ♦' the Kingdom of God is within you," (and not to be looked 
 for as something external of Christendom ; and so wholly beyond 
 our own power of jpalizing, whenever it should suit us to do so) 
 — and thus will be fuliilled also the remarkable prediction in re- 
 ference to this time, " The Lord gave the word ; great was the 
 company of those that published it ;" — Psalm Ixviii, 11-19. — "and 
 the Lord shall utter his voice before his army ; for His camp is 
 very great : for he is strong that executeth his woi-d ; for the day 
 of the Lord is great, and very terrible ; and who can abide it ?" Joel 
 ii, 11 — "For since the beginning of the world, men have not 
 heard, nor perceived by the ear, neither hath the eye seen, O God, 
 beside thee, that he hath prepared for him that waiteth for him 
 — Thou meetest him that rejoiceth and worketh righteousness, 
 
 those tbat remember thee in thy ways in those 
 
 is continuance^ and we shall be saved But now, O 
 
 Lord, thou art our Father ; we are the clay and thou our notter ; 
 
 Behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy poo^-le." — 
 
 Isaiah Ixiv, 4-9.

 Note. — As the Presbyterian Assembly happens to be in Ses- 
 sion in Ottawa now ; and as it includes hundreds of delegates 
 (probably fully equal, if not superior, to the same number of any 
 similar body of men, in intellectual capacity, soundness of judg- 
 ment, and excellence of character) ; why shouldn't a fair propor- 
 tion of them immediately declare themselves in favor of bringing 
 tho subject of this pamphlet to the earnest attention of their re- 
 spective congregations 1 that thus they may do their part towards 
 introducing " the Kingdom of God " upon earth, at once, without 
 needless delay ; for why should the greatest possible blessings be 
 delayed unnecessarily 1 — H. W. M.
