Chrdstendcm's Cabinet Minis- 
 try. 
 
 Editor Free Press. —The following 
 short letters (addressed to two prominent 
 men, who are perhaps among the best re- 
 presentative men in Great Britain and the 
 United States of America) show clearly 
 enough how one or two such men may 
 now easily take the lead in forming a 
 cabinet ministry which would certainly 
 soon gain the confidence and sup- 
 port "of the great majority among 
 the various populations of all 
 Christendom; insomuch that Europe, 
 Christendom, and the whole world, would 
 immediately be found to be provided with 
 a supreme central authority, of such uni- 
 versal and overwhelming influence and 
 strength as to easily control the most 
 powerful governments upon earth, and 
 thus become responsible for the general 
 peace and security, and the maintenance 
 of international law and order (without 
 interfering at all with local governments 
 in local matters) insomuch that 
 warfare would thus naturally 
 cease at once and for ever; 
 as war between nation and nation, would 
 henceforth be no more contemplated than 
 war is at present contemplated between 
 London and Liverpool or New York and 
 Pennsylvenia.

 Copy of letter to the Duke of Argyll, 
 30th March, 1893 : 
 
 The Duke of Argyll knows well that 
 experience abundantly proves how very 
 few exist in any country competent to 
 form a cabinet ministry or 
 government, capable of gaining the 
 confidence and support of the people 
 generally ; consequently, now that all 
 Europe so greatly needs some such Cen- 
 tral Authority or Cabinet Ministry, or 
 Xjrovernmant, to be responsible for the 
 permanent maintenance of law and order 
 throughout the whole of Europe ; there 
 are but few indeed who could possibly 
 contrive to form such a Cabinet Ministry 
 or Government, nevertheless I am con- 
 fident that the Duke qf Argyll could .do 
 this easily enough ; were he only tho- 
 roughly in earnest, and willing also to 
 devote the tenth part of his wealth (or 
 income) towards effecting the establish- 
 ment of some such Central Authority, as 
 ■should secure the peace and welfare of 
 Europe generally. If the Duke of Argj'U 
 can find any man better qualified and 
 more willing than himself, let him sug- 
 gest to such an one to take the lead in so 
 extremely important a matter, but if he 
 can find no other man, why shouldn't the 
 Duke of Argyll take the initiative him- 
 self and appeal to the ablest and best men 
 he can find in all Christendom to help him 
 to form and firmly establish such a 
 cabinet ministry and central authority for 
 all Europe generally; for the mcalculable 
 ij^nftfif .>f »>,s whiile human faniiiv hp.nce* 
 iorth, so long as the world shall endure. 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk. 
 
 Ottawa, Can., March 30, 1893, 
 
 Copy of letter to the Hon. Robt. R. 
 Hitt, House of Representatives. 
 
 Washington, D. C, U. S. 
 
 Dear Sir — I onclosecopy ot my letter to 
 the Duke of Argyll today as it should in- 
 terest you perhaps about as much as the 
 duke, for you surely can see clearly 
 ■enough that the one overwhelmingly great 
 requirement of the present day, is a Central 
 Authority for Europe generally, much as 
 the Government at Washington is a Cen- 
 tral Authority for the L^nited States of 
 America ; that Europe may thus be 
 enabled to dispense with its enormous 
 force of twenty millions of armed men ; 
 as Europe would then noed a military 
 force of only about one million at most ; 
 or about as many in proportion to 
 population at that which might be re- 
 quired by the United States of America. 
 
 You will doubtless see clearly enough 
 also, that in order to gain the confidence 
 of the hundreds of millij)ns composing the 
 populations of Europe, it is absolutely 
 essential that those who would qualify 
 themselves as worthy leaders (for so vast 
 a multitude, actually representins; at pre- 
 sent the great preponderating force of the 
 whole world) should be prepared to make 
 whatever saciBce the occasion may re- 
 quire; that consequently, "the tenth" of 
 the wealth (or mcome) of such worthy 
 leaders, is but a very reasonable and 
 moderate proportion to devote to so ex- 
 tremely grand and beneficial a purpose as 
 that indicated in the enclosed letter to the 
 Duke of Argyll. 
 
 Kindly let me know if you yourself are 
 favorably disposed to any such project, 
 and if you consider that you yourself (or 
 any other prominent or able man you 
 may happen to know m the United States) 
 would be at all likely to join the Duke of 
 Argyll in any such project, should the 
 Duke be induced to interest himself in 
 earnest in this matter; for the American 
 people, as well as every European nation, 
 should be well represented in any such 
 Council or Leadership, or general govern- 
 ment that may now be established for the 
 perpetnal peace and security of Europe 
 and the whole world. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk^ 
 
 Ottawa, Can., 30th March, 1893. 
 
 Europe as a Constituency. 
 
 Editor Free Press, — Modern progress 
 has already reduced all Europe practically 
 to the dimensions of an ordinary county 
 or constituency; consequently any suf- 
 ficiently prominent candidates may 
 now appeal to the various European 
 populations for tiieir confidence and 
 support, about as easily as ord- 
 inary members of parliament ap 
 pealed to their respective counties, or 
 constituencies, in former generations ; 
 therefore, (now that some central author- 
 ity for Europe has at last become abso- 
 lutely essential to relieve its overburdened 
 populations from the intolerable incubus 
 of twenty millions of armed men), the 
 present emergency requires only that a 
 few sufficiently prcminent and worthy 
 candidates should at once be induced tu 
 
la 
 
 3 
 
 appeal in earnest to the various European 
 populati'i.s for their confidence and sup- 
 port, precisely as they might appeal 
 with thorough earnestness to any other 
 comparatively insignificant constituency, 
 and as soon as this general confidence and 
 support is thus obtained, of course a cen- 
 tral authority for Europe is thus im- 
 mediately established, strong enough to 
 afford the requisite protection to every 
 European nation, insomuch that thence- 
 forth no nation will be required to maiii- 
 tain an enormous army to protect itself 
 from every other nati<in, but will need 
 only the comparatively very moderate 
 army that may be recjuisite to guarantee 
 duo respect for law and order within tha 
 limits of each nation ; (much as it is at 
 present among the various States com- 
 i)osing the United States of America). 
 
 In order to introduce this much to be 
 desired millennium of peace upon earth, of 
 course it is essential that a few of the most 
 advanced minds among men should see 
 clearly enough that the requisite central 
 authority for Europe has now ceitainly 
 become quite as practicable in those days, 
 as were the railroads, steamships 
 and telegraphs, etc., in the past 
 generation ; and becoming fully as- 
 sured of this, such advanced minds have 
 but to "lift up their heads," or organize 
 themselves, by recognizing the ablest and 
 best among them as their leaders, or 
 "heads;" and by agreeing, at the same 
 time, to make every reasonable sacrifice 
 that may be required of them, to advocate 
 effectively the central authority for 
 Europe and Christendom, now so abso- 
 lutely essential to relieve each nation from 
 the necessity of being prepared to defend 
 itself from possible aggression on the part 
 of all other nations. 
 
 Should the most advanced minds among 
 men thus begin to "lift up their heads," 
 or to organize themselves anywhere in 
 Great Britain or America, with the earnest 
 purpose of convincing mankind generally 
 that such a movement needs only to meet 
 with the popular sympathy and support, 
 and the result must certainly be an im- 
 mediate end to all the frightful horrors 
 and incalculable expenditure of warfare. 
 The news of any such earnest movement 
 would of course very soon spread abroad 
 over every nation in Europe, and those 
 most in favor of it would doubtless soon 
 .manifest themselves. Thus numerous 
 organizations with the worthiest leaders 
 at their head, would rapidly 
 appear in every European nation, and 
 whether governments opposed or favored 
 such organizations, no power on earth 
 could now possibly hinder their rapid 
 growth in numbers and influence, until 
 their combined strength would far ex- 
 ceed that of any other government upon 
 earth. 
 
 The introduction and establishment of 
 any sucli general government (securing 
 "peace on earth" as well as manifesting 
 "good will to iiiau«ud giory to God") 
 would of course be nothing less than 
 the actual fulfilnunt of the prediction 
 of the prophet Daniel, that at this par- 
 ticular time, "the kingdom and domin- 
 
 ion, and the greatness of the kingdom 
 under the whole heaven shall be given to 
 the people of the saints of the Most High," 
 and "the saints of the Most ELigh shall 
 take the kingdom, and possess the king- 
 dom for ever, even for ever and ever " — 
 Daniel vii, 18, 27— xii, ■!. Therefore 
 tliose who would now work ii earnest to 
 establish " the kingdom of God" upon 
 earth, mast now also prove their worthi- 
 ness to be recognized as "the people of 
 the saints of the Most High," by com- 
 plying at once with the directions so 
 plainly given us by the prophet Malachi, 
 " Return unto me, and I will return unto 
 you, saith the Lord of Hosts." But ye 
 say, wherein shall we return !■ (Will a • 
 man rol) God ? Yet ye have robbed me — 
 but yasay, wherein have we robbed thee ?) 
 in tithes and offerings !** Bring ye all the 
 tithes into the storehouse, and prove me 
 now herewith, saith the Lord of Hosts, if 
 I will not open you the windows of 
 heaven and pour you out a blessing, that 
 there shall r- i be room enougli to receive 
 it.**Then sina ye return, and discern be- 
 tween the righteous and the wicked, be- 
 tween him that serveth God, and him that 
 serveth him not. '—Malachi in, 7-10, 18. 
 Suppose many thousands of the ablest 
 and best men that can be found in all 
 Christendom, were to begin now to " lift 
 -up their heads," so as to recognize certain 
 chosen men as their " heads," or leaders ; 
 that they may thus form themselves into 
 thoroughly organized associations, in every 
 city and country throughout the civilized 
 world. Every member of such organized 
 association, conscientiously devoting the 
 tenth part of his wealth, or income, 
 to the one grand work of 
 introducing and firmly establishing "the 
 Kingdom of God" upon earth; simply by 
 using their utmost efforts, assisted by 
 their combined wealth, to induce the var- 
 ious populations of Europe and Christen- 
 dom generally, to accept such worthy 
 "heads" as their leaders; that, by meansof 
 this one grand combination of all the vari- 
 ous populations of Christendom generally 
 under one leadership, a perfectly legiti- 
 mate and most effectual chedc 
 upon every government upon earth may 
 henceforth exist, and be amply strong 
 enough to hinder any nation from ventur- 
 ing to make war upon another nation; 
 (without interfering at all with the various 
 sovereignties, or governments, in local 
 jnatters)— Such a grand organization could 
 certainly insure the peace of the world for 
 " many generations," and doubtless for 
 the whole period of the predicted millen- 
 nium; thus freeing Europe at once from 
 the necessity of maintaining abont twenty 
 millions of armed men, with the over- 
 wlielmingly burdensome taxation which 
 such enormoifa armies necessitate. 
 
 As it is thus so unquestionably evident 
 that wt! can now certainly introduce and 
 establish the Kingdom of God upon earth, 
 sii iply by organizing ourselves in con- 
 %xixxcxxt associations in ^V6ry Ct-y wpi-- 
 country, and devoting at least the tenth 
 of our wealth or income for that purpose; 
 it is also, of course, about equally evident 
 that a most culpable lukewarmuess and 
 
indifference to thn service of God.or t.. the 
 welfare of our fellow man, must cerlamly 
 be manifested by those who shall still re- 
 fuse or neglect to do as the present cir- 
 cumstarces of the world, as well us the 
 express commands of our Creator, 
 now so urgently require of us — The con- 
 demnation of the present generation in 
 Christendom is: "Thisueople honoreth me 
 with their lips, but their heart is far from 
 me." If the service of Mammon did not 
 at present so utterly exclude the service of 
 God, many thousands would certainly be 
 eager now to organize themselves at once, 
 and gladly devote the tenth of their 
 wealth, and much more also, to the ser- 
 vice of God, for the best welfare of man. 
 
 "Behold the Lord God will come with 
 «trong hand, and his arm shall rule for 
 him : behold, his reward is with him, and 
 hiswork before him."— Isaiah xl, 10. These 
 divinely inspired words evidently apply to 
 this particular time; for the "worlc before 
 the Lord God," and before all those also 
 who will now act wisely in his service, is 
 certainly that grand work of introducing 
 And establishing "the Kingdom of God" 
 upon earth; as already described; and 
 "his reward that is with him," is declared 
 to be to "give to every man according as 
 liis work shall be," consequently now is 
 the most favorable time possible for ob- 
 taining the highest rewards in this life, 
 as well as for eternity also; therefore, as 
 tomorrow happens to be Whit Sunday, or 
 the anniversary of the famous "day 
 of Penticost" when " the spirits of 
 just men made perfect," (being then 
 but newly resurrected by Jesus Christ, the 
 languages they had spoken upon earth 
 being then also fresh in their memories), 
 came in force, and influenced the apostles, 
 causing them to "declare the wonderful 
 works of God" in those various languages, 
 as described in the second chapter of ' ' the 
 Acts of the Apostles." Should a few 
 among the most earnest and intelligent 
 men of our own days now contrive ta 
 "lift up their heads," and thus form 
 themselves in'o an organized asso- 
 ciation, devoting at least the 
 tenth of their wealth, or income, for 
 the purpose of establishing "the 
 kingdom of God" upon earth, as already 
 described; there appears to be no good 
 reason whatever why "the kingdom of 
 God" should not begin to manifest 
 itself upon earth tomorrow, or some- 
 time during this month, or- this yoar; for 
 "Behold, the kingdom of God is within 
 you," are the words of Jesus Christ, 
 indicating plainly enough that " the king- 
 dom of God" is not something outside of 
 ourselves but "within" us; consequently, 
 it is we ourselves who must 
 introduce and establish it. The 
 present time is also evidently 
 about as favorable a time and opportunity 
 for this purpose as can possibly be imag- 
 ined; as is proved conclusively in the 
 foregoing communication; therefore there 
 is now no longer any excuse whatever lOr 
 reasonable and intelligent men hesitating, 
 or delaying, any more about doing that 
 which is now required of them; especially 
 as the coming of Jesus Christ at this time 
 
 appears to be awaiting only the formation 
 of the organized associations implied by 
 the lifting up of the heads of the people, 
 who should be as the " gates" or "doom" 
 of "the kingdom of God;" as is evident 
 enough from thu following quotation, "Lift 
 up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye 
 lifted up, ye everlastmg doors, and the 
 king of glory shall come in" — Paslm xxiv, 
 7 etc., Jrius Christ is of course altogether 
 beyond the comprehension of the human 
 beings of our day, and so also are all "the 
 spirits of just men made perfect," who in- 
 fluenced the minds of the apostles, and 
 others, eighteen cent/Uries ago, whose 
 understanding and comprehension have 
 doubtless developed rapidly and enorm- 
 ously during this long period of time ; — All 
 these "spirits of just men made perfect" 
 were however, but "the tirst-fruits unto 
 God and to Christ ; " wliereas now we have 
 good reason to expect the immediate 
 resurrection of all "the elect" who 
 have lived upon the earth during 
 the [Mst eighteen centuries, and who are 
 described as "a great multitude which no 
 man could number, of all nations, and 
 kindreds, and people, and ^-ongues " 
 When this " great multitude " of "spirits 
 of just men made perfect" are now resur- 
 rected, they will doubtless be as com- 
 panionable to the most ndvanced men of 
 our day as " the Holy Spirit " was to the 
 Apostles and early Christians more than 
 eighteen centuries ago ; therefore should 
 the foremost men of our day act wisely, 
 as is required of them ; they may very 
 reasonably expect to soon enjoy " the 
 favor of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love 
 of God, and the fellowship (or companion- 
 ship) of the Holy Spirit," as did the 
 Apostles and others among the early 
 Christians, more than eighteen centuries, 
 ago. Henry Wentworth Monk.

 Editor Free Press : — Should the Earl 
 of Derby, Governor General of Canada, 
 kindly contrive to read attentively the 
 enclosed article, headed, "Europe as a 
 ■Constituency ; " (published in to-day's 
 "Free Press ; ") he will probably per- 
 ceive that the time has now certainly 
 ccme at last for the ablest and best among 
 men to combine, and prove themselves 
 worthy of the confidence and support of 
 the various populations of Christendom, 
 and of the whole world ; that thus a gen- 
 eral government may be provided, strong 
 enough to atford the requisite protection 
 to all the various nations, insomuch that 
 the intolerable burden of maintaining the 
 present enormous armaments of Europe 
 may thus be avoided at once, and for 
 ever ; for the greatly to be desired era of 
 peace, so long ago, and so frequently 
 foretold in the Divinely inspired writings, 
 may thus actually begin to 
 prevail upon earth. 
 
 enclosed, headed, " The Control of 
 of Europe," quote two letters of 
 the Duke of Argyll, which state 
 very clearly and concisely some of 
 
8 
 
 the 
 
 i,he seemingly inRurmountable difficulties, 
 which are quite as clearly proved to be 
 very easily overcome indeed, should the re- 
 quisite earnestneas be now manifested by 
 the ablest and best among men. 
 
 The Earl of Derby should surely per- 
 ceive that he cannot now possibly close his 
 career in Canada more creditably and 
 honorably for himself, as well ks more 
 beneficially for the liuman family gener- 
 ally, than by taking a leading part in so 
 supremely important and beneficent a 
 movement, which niiy now easily begin 
 in Canada and spread almost instan- 
 taneously over the whole civilized world; 
 therefore the Earl of Derby is now re- 
 ■<iuested to kindly state to what extent he 
 is favorable to the proposed movement.so 
 exidently designed to secure permanent 
 ■"peace on earth'' as well as to manifest 
 "good will to man, and glory to God," 
 Faithfully yours,

 Postscript. — Happening to meet the Hon. 
 Mackenzie Bowell, acting prime minister 
 •of Canada, last Thursday week (Ascension 
 day), he quite agreed with mo in consider- 
 ing you by far the best qualified to take a 
 leading part in this mcivement in Canada, 
 and promised me that he himself would 
 certainly be favorable also; consequently, 
 should you kindly consult with him, you 
 need have no difficulty in discovering 
 some of the fittest men in Canada at 
 present to co-operate with you — Sir John 
 Thompson and the Hon.C.H.Tupper wrote 
 •to me from Paris, as did Sir Charles Tup- 
 per also from London, in reply to my 
 recent letters; and I think all three of 
 them would gladly second you, should you 
 now manifest any earnest disposition in 
 lavor of the project proposed, and kindly 
 communicate with them upon the subject. 
 Another article headed "Christendom-'ii 
 </abinet Ministry," is also enclosed, in 
 ■case it may perhaps interest you.

 it might perhaps be quite sufficient for the-

 Earl Derby's Oppoptunity. 
 
 II. 
 
 Editor Free Press — The following 
 lerter was posted to the Earl of Derby 
 just a week ago, 
 
 The proof sheet of open letter 
 in today's Free Press is en- 
 closed to the Earl of Derby. Happening 
 to meet the Hon. Mackenzie Bowell again 
 this morning, I told him that you could 
 scarcely be expected to takeanyparbinthe 
 proposed movement unless you were tol- 
 erably well supported. He advised me to 
 send you copies of some of my printed papers 
 and request you to make an appoiutiment 
 with me. Should you be disposed to ac- 
 quiesce, and kindly let me know when 
 and where I might have the opportunity 
 to expkin the matter to you in few words. 
 In five or ten minutes you might see 
 whether it is possible for you to favor the 
 nro'josed movement effectually before 
 leaving Canada. If you consent to do as 
 much in proportion for this project, as 
 you and Lady Derby have already done in 
 favor of " The Lady Stanley Institute," 
 
 AS APPEAL TO THE GOVERNOR OENERAl, 
 
 OK CANADA AND TO THE BRITISH 
 
 CROWN AND PEOPLE. 
 
 Our Governor General is evidently » 
 remarkably blameless and irreproachable 
 man, who doubtless heartily endeavors »o 
 perform the duties of his office honoraUy 
 and creditably; therefore when anyone is 
 advised by the acting premier of Qanada 
 to refer an extremely important matter to 
 him, as the worthy representative of the 
 British Crown and ptople; it may reason- 
 ably be expected that the matter will re- 
 ceive due attention, when brought before 
 him ; and should it be decided that nothing 
 -satisfactory can ')e done about it at pre- 
 sent in Canada, the Governor General 
 miijht then easily contrive to have the 
 8u'»ject brought to the attention 
 of the representatives of the Brit^ 
 isli crown and people in England — 
 It so happens that a native of Canada 
 has formulated a very simple and easily 
 understood plan ; by the adoption of 
 which, a Central Authority may now be 
 firmly and permanently established, so as 
 to be strong enough to afford the requisite 
 •security and protection to every nation 
 upon earth, from generation to genera- 
 tion; insomuch that the great bulk of the 
 enormous armies of Europe may then be 
 very safely and rapidly disbanded. 
 "Should this be actually practicable in our 
 days, it is certainly of the utmost im- 
 portance that it should be generally 
 known, and acted upon, with the least 
 possible delay ; therefore, if neither the 
 ■Governor General, nor his cabinet min- 
 isters, nor anv others in Canada, can 
 prove to the contrary, the matter ought 
 immediately to be brought to the atten- 
 tion of the British Government and 
 people; and as the Earl of Derby happens 
 to be our Governor General at present, 
 he is doubtless just now by far the best 
 qualified to do this effectually. 
 
 About six monthsjago I gave more than a 
 dozenlcolumns in manuscript to our Premier 
 Sir John Thompson and the Hon. Mac- 
 kenzie Bowell, and they both told me 
 afterwards that they had read the whole 
 of it and had found it interesting, and 
 could say nothing to the contrary, which 
 is doubtless in substance what they would 
 now say also in reference to the before- 
 mentioned plan; as would probably most 
 other men of ability likewise, under simi- 
 lar circumstances; for, having been well 
 known for some years now to several of 
 the foremost members of both houses of 
 parliament. I have reason to think that 
 my t-tatements upon such subjects are 
 generally regarded by them a» quite in- 
 disputable.
