THY KINGDOM COME. 
 
 It is predicted that "the Kingdom and Dominion, and the greatness 
 of the Kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of 
 the Saints of the Most High." (Daniel vii, 27.) The question is, are 
 there now upon earth any "people of the Saints of the Most High?" If 
 so; why don't they "take the Kingdom?" (as so jjlainly predicted.) 
 Sonjie may be disposed to ask, How could any such people possibly "take 
 the Kingdom?" 
 
 Suppose a few thousands of them should now suddenly declare 
 themselves in favour of " peace on earth, good-will to man, and glory to 
 God," and should appeal to the various constituencies in the British 
 Empire for their confidence and support, that the fittest and most 
 capable among them may be elected members of Parliament in the 
 British House of Commons, and in all the Local Parliaments through- 
 out the Empire that the "Kingdom of God," or the dominion of "mercy 
 
 and truth, righteousness and peace," may henceforth prevail 
 
 throughout the British Empire. 
 
 Such action on the part of thousands of men simultaneously, could 
 scarcely tail to attract the attention of the world to the question most 
 effectually, and occasion much discu.ssion, which might perhaps result in 
 the great majority of the British people (and ultimately "of all nations") 
 becoming convinced that a policy of "mercy and truth . . . righteous- 
 ness and peace " is by far the best policy, and indeed the only policy 
 fully adequate to the requirements of the British empire, and of "all 
 nations" also, in the present advanced period of the world's history. 
 
 Let us then but once contrive to have the great majority of the 
 Members of Parliament, throughout the British Empire, composed of 
 the most conscientious and capable men, who will seek the best welfare 
 of the whole British Empire (and of mankind generally also) as heartily 
 and earnestly as they seek their own personal welfare, or that of their 
 respective families. As soon as this shall actually be the case, of course 
 it will evidently be nothing less than a manifestation of "the Kingdom 
 of God" upon earth. 
 
 Some will doubtless be (lis|){)sed to assert very positively that the 
 time is not yet come, nevertheless, there is no gocjd reason whatever for 
 any such assertion, for the same prophet who tells us so plainly that 
 "the Kingdom and Dominion . . . shall be given to the people of the 
 Saints of the Most Hig*-," tells us plainly also that this shall occur when 
 "many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased" (Daniel 
 xii, 4), that is, of course, during the present generation; for the numerous 
 railroads, steamshi|)s and telegraphs, (Jtc, of the present day testify to 
 the fulfilment of the prophecy that "many shall run to and fro, and 
 knowledge shall be increised" far beyond all former exijerience upon 
 earth, therefore it is now that we may evidently look for the immediate 
 fulfilment al^^o of the i)ro|>hecy that "the Kingdom and Dominion . . . 
 shall be given to the people of the Saints of the Most High!" 
 
 Moreover, "the people of the Saints of the Most High" are no 
 longer justified in delaying U) "take the kingdom;" because the same 
 modern progress (railroads, steamships and tclegrajjhs, tVx.) which makes 
 a universal righteous government over the whole earth ])liysically pos- 
 
 1 
 

 sible in these days, makes universal destruction and desolation by the 
 hand of man, physically possible also; therefore, if "the Kingdom of 
 God" be not now accepted by the most advanced people upon 
 earth, we necessanlly become liable to destruction, desolation and an- 
 archy such as man never yet has witnessed or experienced ; therefore, 
 the most solemn warning is uttered against the nations of Christendom 
 at this time, "Come near, ye nations, to heaj; and hearken, ye people; 
 .... for the indignation of the Lord is upon all nations, and his fury 
 upon all their armies-" he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath de- 
 livered them to the slaughter." (Isaiah xxxiv, 1,2.) The vast prepara- 
 tions for war, the millions of armed men in Europe, the hundred ton 
 guns, and ten thousand ton ships of war, I'^'c, all forewarn us plainly 
 enough of the terrible destruction which may now at any time suddenly 
 come "upon all nations," and "upon all their armies," unless the nations 
 of Christendom promptly repent now, so as to avert the just "indigna- 
 tion of the I,ord" at this time; ■ ; did "the men of Nineveh" thousands 
 of years ago; therefore, let "the people of the Saints of the Most High" 
 at once protest loudly against the mad folly of the nations of Christen- 
 dom in arming themselves so elaborately for iheir mutual slaughter and 
 destruction, when they might easily have the alternative of an Interna- 
 tional Tribunal in which "all nations" may be fairly represented. 
 
 "The people of the Saints of the Most Hgh" (when they have 
 fairly earned the confidence of "all nations, and jjeoples, and tongues") 
 will naturally become the International Tribunal so much needed in these 
 days to decide all international tjuestions with the most perfect justice 
 and equity possible, that henceforth there may be neither occasion nor 
 excuse for an appeal to the sword to deride any ques:ion whatever 
 between nation and nation. 
 
 Sorie may conclude that there are no "jjeople of the Saints of the 
 Most High" now upon earth at all; for, if there were any, they should 
 certainly be protesting earnestly and unceasingly against the mad tolly 
 and wickedness of the great nations of Christendom, in making such 
 terrible preparations for their mutual slaughter and destruf ^ion; while no 
 serious attemjJt is made to avoid all the horrors of warfare henceforth, 
 by the establishment of a (■omi)etent International Tribunal. Never- 
 theless, "the people of the Saints of the Most High" may exist upon the 
 earth in considerable numbers, but they are doubtless now in the 
 "lukewarm" condition in which Jesus (Christ describes them to be, when 
 He comes at last to establish His kingdom upon earth, and calls to His 
 people saying: "I. 'hold, I stand at the door, and knock; if any man 
 hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup 
 with him, and he with me;" intimating, of course, in figurative language, 
 that he will now communicate freely with an\ who will be prepared to 
 receive him, or his instructions and counsel at this time His special 
 "counsel" to his pef)i)le now at this time being that they should be no 
 longer "lukewarm," as at present, but "zealous," that henceiorth they 
 may fairly earn the requisite faith, righteousness, and truth, which he 
 urges them (in figurative language) to thus obtain from hini at this 
 particular time. (Rev. iii, 16, i<S, 20.) .
