"AWAKE, AWAKE." 
 
 The following letter to the Queen (as 
 the Representative of the whole British 
 Empire), and a few other letters also to 
 two well-known men in Great Britain, 
 indicate plainly enough that we can now 
 have all tne exceedingly great advantages 
 of the kingdom of Qod upon earth imme- 
 diately, or as soon as a few of us shall now 
 begin to work earnestly and intelligently 
 for so extremely desirable a result ; 
 therefore the foremost men of this par- 
 ticular time, are now urgently called 
 upon to " Awake, awake ; put on 
 strength, O Zion ; put on thy beautiful 
 garments, O Jerus^em, the holy city." 
 —Isaiah Hi, 1. 
 
 It may naturally not be evident enough 
 that the foremost men of our time are 
 here specially referred to, under such 
 similitudes as " the holy city " of 
 the future, or "Zion," or "the new 
 Jerusalem " ; but very little famili- 
 arity with the symbolical language of 
 prophecy, should suffice to convince us 
 that " Zion, Jerusalem, and the holy 
 city" are merely figurative expressions, 
 all having pt ecisely the same meaning, 
 namely, tlie whole assembly of those who 
 will be in full sympathy with thu mani- 
 fest will of our Creator, and consequently 
 well qualified to become the willing sub- 
 jects of "the kingdom of God" at this par- 
 ticular time ; (or at any other time also, 
 whether previous or subseouent to our 
 own days). The "beautiful garments" 
 now to be " put on ;" are of course the 
 garments of righteousness ; and the 
 " strength " which must nowf also be 
 "put on" will be the natuial rtsult of 
 the very extraordin.ry enlightenment, 
 and the very perfect union , which must 
 now prevail among all the foremost men 
 of our time. 
 
 By simply reading, without unreason- 
 able prejudice, and with due attention 
 and consideration, the five following 
 short letters ; those now living upon 
 earth, who are destined to be hereafter 
 identified with "t he ho ly city" of the 
 future, '^Mk Zion «V<M,' or " the new 
 Jerusalem," may now easily "awake," 
 so as to perceive clearly enough how 
 they may now "put on strength;" as 
 well as the "beautiful garments" of 
 righteousness ; and thus prospering ex- 
 ceedingly, mav most efl!ectually secure 
 the best possiole welfare of the whole 
 human family, both now, and hereafter 
 also.

 To Her Majeaty the Queen of Great 
 Britain, Ireland, dtc. 
 
 Should the Queen kindly contrive to 
 read with due attention the enclosed very 
 short printed reply to the 9uke of 
 Argyll 8 last letter to myself, on an ex- 
 tremely important subject, my view will 
 probably bo regarded by the Queen, as 
 at least quite as correct as that of the 
 Duke of Argjrll, and unquestionably 
 much more satisfactory and hopeful . 
 
 A copy of my last letter to the Rt. Hon. 
 W. E. Gladstone, anil a letter to my old 
 friend Holman Hunt, thf. well-known 
 artist, are also enclosed ; the latter show- 
 ing how comparatively poor men may 
 l)egin to accomplish the grand work now 
 HO imperatively required of the ablest 
 and Ijest men of our day ; while the for- 
 mer points out clearly enough, how very 
 much better it must certainly be for the 
 highest authorities upon earth to imme- 
 diately take a leadiny part in so grand 
 and world-wide a movement ; that con- 
 sequently, it may fairly be presumed 
 that neither the British Sovereign nor 
 the leaders of the British Government, 
 would unwisely incur the tremendous 
 responsibility of with-holding their 
 timely patronage and support from so 
 beneiicent a project, whicn is so well- 
 calculated to msure the permanent peace 
 of the whole world for many genera- 
 tions. 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk. 
 
 P.S.— I enclose also a copy of my last 
 letter to the Duke of Argyll, in manu- 
 script ', m case the Queen may possibly 
 be interested enough in the subject to 
 read that also. Should the Queen care 
 to see this extremely important matter 
 more fully explained, several printed 
 papers could easily be sent her by my 
 old friend, Holman Hunt, Draycott 
 Lodge, Fulham, London, S.W., England, 
 or by myself, Henry Wentworth Monk, 
 Ottawa, Canada. 
 
 P.S. —The Queen knows well that the 
 European nations dare not reduce their 
 enormous armaments materially yet ; as 
 they are fullv consciou:^ that they are at 
 pretent without any other adequate 
 security or protection from aggression 
 on the part of their powerful neighbours; 
 but should a Supreme Authoiity once 
 become firmly established, being com- 
 posed of unquestionably the ablest and 
 oest men that can be found among all 
 the nations and kindreds upon earth, 
 and consequently, strong enough to 
 furnish the much needed security and 
 protection to every nation thoughout the 
 whole world ; then, doubtless, the Euro- 
 pean nations would gladly begin to re- 
 duce their armaments simultaneouslv, 
 as won, and as rapdly, as they could 
 conveniently. Meanwhile, if the British 
 
Govermment, and the British Sorereign, 
 together with the ablest and the tost 
 men in the British Empire, should now 
 oombine in the earnest effort to 
 begin to establish the requisite Supreme 
 Authority, immediate and unparalelled 
 success must certainly attend any such 
 thoroughly earnest and combined effort. 
 If the Queen should still have any doubt 
 about this, it is easy for her to consult 
 the ablest and best men of her acqiuiint- 
 anoe, and see if they are not unanimous 
 in the conviction that such a combina- 
 tion, BO evidently in earnest, in such a 
 grand humanitarian effort, would be 
 absolutely irresistable, not only through- 
 out the British Empire, but in every 
 other nation in Europe, and throughout 
 all Christendom ana the whole world: 
 the result benii^ practically a universal 
 righteous government, or the long-pre- 
 dicted '* kmgdom of God" upon earth, 
 which all Christendom is supposed m 
 have been praying for during the past 
 eighteen centuries. 
 
 when such an earnest effort would 
 most certainly result so exceedingly 
 beneficially for us till ; How great must 
 be the responEibility of those now in au- 
 thority and power, should they refuse, or 
 neglect, to wisely take advantage of 
 their present unprecodented opportunity ? 
 Therefore, let not the Queen, nor the 
 Premier, nor the Duke of Argyll, noi- 
 any of the ablest and best at present in 
 authority, incur any such very serious 
 responsibility. Faithfully yours, 
 
 Hbnry Wentworth Monk. 
 Ottawa, Canada, 28th Sept., 1898. 
 
 Perhaps the Queen would kindly let 
 me know when she receives this; as I 
 ^aturally consider it to be an extremely 
 important communication,— H.W. M. 
 
 Ottawa, Canada, 11th Sept., 1898. 
 My Dear Hunt,— Yours of the 36th 
 ult. duly received last Thursday, 7th 
 inst., but no response as yet from any of 
 the others to whom I wrote during the 
 last month or two. You speak of your 
 friend and his wife as being inclined to 
 favor our graifd project ; though they 
 feel poor at present, as their income is 
 now much reduced, in consequence of 
 their property being in Ireland. You see 
 however, that the rich toori't begin to 
 help us under present eircumatancea; con- 
 sequently, the comparatively poor must 
 doso, if any human beings at all are to 
 help effectually in the grand work. ' The 
 following plan explains clesrly enough 
 how the comparanvely poor may now 
 begin to intnxluce the principle so ab- 
 solutely essential to our success; (not 
 only without any real permanent 
 loss to themselves, but with a great 
 permanent gain, so as actually to 
 become wealthy with astonishing 
 
 V 
 
rapid^tv.) Suppose you suggest to 
 your friend that, if he devotes the 
 " tenth" part of his income to the 'j&c- 
 vioe of Ood for the benefit of man ; (as I 
 have so frequently stated in my printed 
 papers); he would thus manifest the re- 
 quisite " faith, hope and charity", (the 
 '^ three Christian graces"); without the 
 exercise of which, our spiritual growth 
 and development appear to be quite im- 
 possible. In acting thus worthily him- 
 self, your friend would naturally qualify 
 himself to suggest efTeotually a similar 
 course to others, who may he perhaps 
 about as favorably disposed as himself, 
 and about as wealthy also; and accord- 
 ing as he succeeds in persuading any 
 others to devote the '• tenth" of their in- 
 come also, he would thus himself be- 
 come entitled to one half the amount 
 actually devoted by them, the other half 
 to be transmitted to myself as securely as 
 possible. Thus he would add to his own 
 wealth precisely the same amount that 
 he added to mine. Those also who 
 should thus be induced by him to devote 
 their "tenth," wovJd likewise qualify 
 themselves to induce others to do the 
 same, with a like advantage to them- 
 selves, and to myself also. 
 
 By this extremely simple means, we 
 should very soon effect a very influential 
 and powerful combination of all those 
 who really possessed the requisite " faith, 
 hope and cliarit^"; and such an associa- 
 tioa would manifestly be by far the most 
 trust, worthy upon earth; and would na- 
 turally soon commend itself to the world, 
 as \ h^ best possible nucleus of the Su- 
 preme International Tribunal, so much 
 needed now to afford the requisite securi- 
 ty and protection to every nation jpon 
 earth, that warfare may be abolished at 
 once, and for ever. Faithfully yours,

 Ottawa, Canada, 12th October, 1893. 
 
 My Dear Hunt, — I enclose a copy of 
 my last letter to the Duke of Argyll, and 
 copies also of my letters to several of 
 my relatives; that you may perceive 
 that we are now rapidly approaching 
 the grand crisis. It remains to be seen 
 whether it is you, who will now take 
 the first effective move in precipitating 
 this crisis ; or whether some of the high- 
 «8t authorities in the world, (such as the 
 British Sovereign, or the British Pre- 
 mier, or a fair Representative of the 
 British House of Lords, as is the Duke 
 of Argyll), will begin to take the re- 
 quisite action in this matter ; or whether 
 it will be left for some of my relatives 
 to first begin to act, in thorough earnest, 
 in accordance with my suggestion. 
 
 \ 
 
 \. 
 
The situation at present cannot pos- 
 sibly be simpler ; for the whole world is 
 now evidently waiting for those who 
 are at all disposed to manifest the re- 
 quisite " faith, hope and chprity ; " to do 
 so at once, in the most unmistakeable 
 manner, by immediately complying with 
 the very clear and explicit directions 
 given us bv the ver^ last of the ancient 
 prophets, Malachi lii, 7—10, Iti- -conse- 
 quently, if you can induce any of the 
 ablest and best among j^our friends and 
 acquaintances to do this immediately, a 
 very satisfactory beginning will thus be 
 made at once ; the result of which will 
 certainly very soon be as effective and 
 as great, as would naturally be that of 
 the application of a lighted match to an 
 enormous mass of exceedingly com- 
 bustible material — the result would 
 doubtless of course be equally great, and 
 effective also ; were either any of my 
 relatives, or any of the highest authori- 
 ties in the world, to now make the re- 
 quisite beginning. 
 
 Lest any should be disposed to imagine 
 that I seem to require too large a share 
 for myself ; let 8iich realize for a mo- 
 ment, that* I do nut represent myself 
 personally in this matter ; but rather 
 the beneficent purpose of Our Creator 
 and Jesus Christ ; and so of course the 
 best welfare of the whole human family 
 also; and that consequently, whatever 
 wealth comes to me, comes for the ex- 
 press purpose of being applied, in the 
 most effective manner possible, for the 
 immediate abolition of warfare ; and for 
 the most rapid possible reduction of 
 ignorance, poverty, vice and misery, to 
 a minimum, over the whole world ; and 
 that therefore, too much cannot now 
 possibly fall either to my share, or to the 
 share of those who shall now earnestly 
 and faithfully second my already verv 
 long-continud efforts, in favor of this 
 exceedingly important and beneficent 
 project. I'aithfuUy yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk, 
 To W. Holman Hunt, Esq., 
 London, England. 
 
 Ottawa, Canada, 9th October, 1893. 
 To the Duke of Argyll, 
 
 A copy of my recent letter to the 
 Queen is enclosed ; that the Duke of 
 Argyll may perceive clearly enough that 
 the British Sovereign, and the ablest and 
 best among the British people have every 
 possible inducement to now act, as the 
 present circumstances of the world im- 
 peratively require the foremost Sovereign 
 and the foremost people among "all 
 nations," to now act, so as to prove them- 
 selves to be evidently influenced by some 
 reasonable and moderate decree of that 
 "faith, hope and charity,' which is 
 well-known to be characteristic of all 
 true Christianity. 
 
As the Sovereign is an extremely ini' 
 portant element in the British Constitu- 
 Ifcion, the Duke of Argyll will doubtless 
 readily admit that the Queen should be 
 well advised of whatever may be abso- 
 lutely essential to the best welfare of the 
 British people; therefore I hope the Duke 
 of Argyll will conscientiously do what 
 he can, to have the substance of the en- 
 closed letter made known to the Queen; 
 should my letter not have been received 
 by the Queen, or should it not yet have 
 occupied her attention . 
 
 If the Duke of Argyll would also 
 kindly contrive to bring the subject 
 effectually to the attention of the British 
 Premier, he would thus illustrate the 
 usefulness of the Lords, in addition to 
 the Commons, and the Sovereign, in the 
 British Constitution; for busy and over- 
 worked ao the British Premier must be, 
 it is extremely doubtful whether such a 
 subject as that contained in the enclosed 
 letter, would be at all likely to engage 
 his serious attention, at this early stage; 
 unless you, or someone else, whom lie 
 may regard as entitled to some respect 
 and consideration, should kindly bring it 
 to his notice. 
 
 You will probably see that I have done 
 my utmost to give the British Sovereign, 
 Lords, and Commons, every opportunity 
 to be among the foremost leaders, in in- 
 troducing " the kingdom of Ood " upon 
 earth immediately ; as well as suddenly, 
 unexpectedly and irresistably; in accord- 
 ance with the well-known divinely-in- 
 spired predictions to that effect. 
 
 Faithfully yours, 
 
 Henry Wentworth Monk. 
 
 P.S.— My letter waa posted on the 2Hth 
 S^tember, 1898, and addressed to " Her 
 Majesty the Queen of Great Britain and 
 IrelauJ, &<'., Balmoral, Scotland."— 
 H. W. M. 
 
 Ottawa, Canada, 2l8t Sept. 1893. 
 
 The Duke of Argyll, (by reading the 
 enclosed copy of letter to my old friend 
 Holman Hunt), may perceive clearly 
 enough how the comparatively poor may 
 now begin to introduce " the Kingdom 
 of Qod'upon earth. Suppose my old 
 friend Holman Hunt, (having already 
 himself, ten years ago, devoted more 
 than a " tenth" part of his present in- 
 come, as required), should now induce 
 his friend to do likewise; and that his 
 friend should then induce several others 
 to devote their " tenth" also. Suppose 
 also that the most advanced among the 
 clergy, as well as many others, should 
 now begin to perceive that it would be 
 much more prontable, as well as honor- 
 able for them, to thus advocate effective- 
 ly the immediate introduction of " the 
 Kingdom of Gk>d " upon earth, rather 
 than that they should still persistently 
 
endeavour to perpetuate the abaurd sec- 
 Carianiam of the proaent day. 
 
 The fact that a few olergj, and others, 
 ahottld he enabled to increase their 
 wealth very considerably, (and not roally 
 impoverish themselves at all), in work- 
 ing earnestly and intelligently for the tm- 
 mediate introduction of " the Kingdom 
 of God " upon earth ; would doubtless 
 be a very effectual encouragement to all 
 the ablest and beet amons men, who 
 might otherwise be inclined to fear, not 
 on^ extreme poverty for themselves, 
 but also total failure to accomplish the 
 much to be desired purpose of their 
 most beneficent and praiseworthy efforts. 
 But thus encouraged, a beginning might 
 now easily be made, which would doubt- 
 less soon spread, and prevail very rapid- 
 ly indeed; even as a fire spreads, and 
 rapidly prevails when once fairly started 
 in any very combustible material. How- 
 ever, great and rapid as our success 
 might certainly be, when afforded such 
 due encouragement; nevertheless it 
 would be very much more satisfactory, 
 and much more immediately impressive 
 and effective, if the highest authorities 
 upon earth should be induced to favor 
 the grand movement at its very beginn- 
 ing, much as Pharoah patronized the 
 Patriarch Joseph, (when African civiliza- 
 zation in Egypt was so greatly in advance 
 of either huropean or Asiatic civiliza- 
 tion, in that earlv period of the world's 
 history); or as Nebuchadnezzar patroniz- 
 ed the prophet Daniel, when Asiatic 
 civilization subsequently prevailed over 
 that of Egypt. So, now also, when 
 Europe has at last attained its highest 
 degree of civilization under existing in- 
 stitutions; it is but fitting that the very 
 l^hest authorities in Europe should 
 e£rectually favor and patronize those re- 
 presenting the grand movement, which 
 must now introduce the very great and 
 inculcalable advantages of *' the King- 
 dom of God" upon earth; as certainly 
 as the rule of the patriarch Joseph was 
 of incalculable benefit to ancient Egypt, 
 is as that of the prophet Daniel was of 
 incalculable benefit to ancient Babylon, 
 (Babylon fell, in one night, when Daniel 
 was persistently ignored by Belshashar, 
 the successor of Nebuchaanezzar, and 
 the Egyptians, and Israelite also, would 
 have starved but for the timely patron- 
 age of Joseph by Pharoah.) 
 
 I write this once more to you, in case 
 it should be possible to induce you 
 to bring this subject effectually to 
 the attention of the British Sovere- 
 ign, and the British Government 
 also. Why shouldn't you contrive 
 to find a favorable opportunity to 
 speak with the Premier or with any 
 of his Cabinet Ministers, or other pro- 
 minent and able men in England, in ad- 
 vocacy of this? Should but two or 
 
 l\ 
 
three of jou be dbpoeed to faror the 
 srand beneficent project, it should not 
 be difficult for you then to induce the 
 Qneen to act worthily, as the occasion 
 reouires ; for the Queen appears to hare 
 habitually acted worthily nitherto, and 
 to be much worthier also of whatever 
 great honor may now come upon her, 
 than were anv of our former British 
 Sovereigns. Why tlien should not our 
 present British Sovereign, as well aa all 
 the members of* our present British 
 Government, be induced to set a worthy 
 example to the whole of the British Em- 
 pire, and to every other nation upon 
 «)arth also; by declaring themselves 
 fully prepared, and determined also, to 
 act now precisely as the prophet Ma- 
 lachi Bu emphatically calls upon them to 
 act at this particular time ; that such 
 prompt decision on their put, upon this 
 occasion, may have the immediate efFeot 
 of enabling us to " discern between the 
 righteous and the wicked ; between him 
 that serveth Ood, and him that cterveth 
 him not , " and that the Almighty may 
 now also " open the windows of heaven, 
 (flgurativelv speaking), and pour us out 
 a blessing tliat there shall not be room 
 enough to receive it," or in other words, 
 give UH all the exceedingly great ad- 
 vantages of " the Kingdom uf Qo^ " 
 upon earth ; for these Inca oulable ad- 
 vantages would certainlv follow imme- 
 diately, should the British Sovereign 
 and the members « f the British Qovern- 
 ment, agree to devote the *' tenth ''of 
 their yearly income to the service of 
 God for the benefit of man, as is so em- 
 
 1)hatically declared by the prophet Ma- 
 achi, ui, 7—10, 18— 
 
 Now that Jbhe long predicted "King- 
 dom of Ood" may actuallv come upon 
 earth immediately as well as suddenly 
 and unexpectedly, as is so clearly fore- 
 told ; it is surely much better that the 
 I3ritish S 'vereign, and the members of 
 the British Government, should be found 
 among the most worthy leaders in that 
 universal righteous Ginv'Srnment, than 
 that any of them should cccupy inferior 
 positions, ur possibly be found among 
 the opposition ; therefoi'e it is surely 
 well for us to do our utmost to induce 
 them to take a leading i>art at once, in 
 the effective introduction of "the King- 
 dompf God" upon earth. 
 
 Kindly write soon and let me know 
 what difficulty yet remains (if any) 
 about your giving the ablest and best 
 men in the whole world, the opportunity 
 to now act worthily and wisely, as here 
 suggested. — Faithfully yours,
