No truth of history stands out with greater prominence than this one; so that they who run may read. And if any nation today loses its exalted ideals and becomes a ruin, as have the long list of those that have perished whoae former glory is now marked by desolate ruins, it will not be because it has not been forewarned “line upon line and precept upon precept, here a little and there a little;” but because of its own willful or shortsighted folly in allowing itself to be carried -â€"-« Inn in mom-inn. by the carnal forces that there a little;” but because of its own wmrui or shortsighted folly in allowing itself to be carried away from its moorings, by the carnal forces that destroy men and nations. Now every civilized nation has believed that it was ordained of God, and that its task was God-ap- pointed. And if it had good reason for that convic- tion. it has succeeded so long as it was true to its highest ideals. It will be helpful for us today. on our nation‘s greatest day, which celebrates our birth and inde- pendence, to consider some of the reasons for believ- ing that we are a product of the unfolding of God's plan. and that God has given us a work to do: and we have a right to paraphrase our hymn “America" so that it reads:â€" 43:21 “This people I have formed (or myIclf'. they ln forming our appraisemem w bottom of the ladder and gradually get at least a glimpse of the Guam and destiny that lays before us. l.

No student of history con question {or , _-Aol-_--\O n1 11. Again our country is God's country because in a peculiar sense He not only laid the material foundations of it, but He peopled it in a most pe- culiar way. No student of history can question for a single moment the hand of God in the settlement of this land of ours. For, as truly as Israel went out of the land of Egypt in quest of Caanan, under the guidance of Almighty, so surely did our forefathers come to these shores as impelled and directed by the Spirit of the most High. Not only did they come here in quest of religious liberty where they might worship God according to the dictates of their own conscience, but this nation was founded in a peculiar way with a religious motive. The historian tells us that every enterprise of the Pilgrims began with God. On the very title page of historic Americaniam is indellibly written, “In the beginning, God." When the first colony was organised it was clearly stated that it was for the “glory of God and the advanceâ€" ment of the Christian faith." And in the early days of our republic this religious heritage from the re- ligious seekers that first came to these shores from the old world, was perpetuated in the splendid stock that followed them. The Puritans in New England, \ the Dutch in New York, the Quakers in Pennsyl- Mnia, the Huguenots in the Carolmas, brought with them the faith of the fathers, a faith in the immedi- ate presence of God with each individual; the concepâ€" tion of a God Who dwells in the hearts of men; a God Who dwells in His present Church; A God Who dWells in public affairs; nn over-ruling God Who is shaping and moulding all these to accomplish His will. A g... ' This does not mean repudiation i-i u“ mum-..” in State or Church or in t'reeos; l‘Lll it does mean a repudiation of all pretense of authority in State or Church ancient or modern, when it puts the Voice of an in the place of the voice of (iml. Who spunk: in die hearts of his children. This religiom conception of liberty, as empha- sized by the Puritans, naturally found Ith way into the political life of this young nation. The i’uritan found his ideal of government in the Uld Tcsmmwrt, and he tried to realize it in America. And his ron< ception was this: That every man may go up into Mount Sinai and talk with God. Every man has lears to hear the divine voice, and a heart to feel His presence; and any system of philosophy or religion or politics that opposed this found the Puritan its enemy. He had faith in human "government of the people and by the people and for the people" be: cause he had faith in mzui M the child of God. And every man had the right to go up into the mount and speak with God and bring down to his fellow men the laws of (ind; and this religious type. of God-cen- tered government he tried to make modern in a prac- tical way. And this he planted in America. The end sought was indiyidual liberty through government; 'and the means was the development of each man as a child of (Bod, capable, of self-government and con- trol. We should never forget this exceedingly rich birthright from our forefathers, this heritage of a Christian nation. And let us by all manner of means safe-guard it. lll.

The Immigration peril is as much in the relation 0! the citizen to the immigrant as in the immigrant himA self. A foreigner not yet naturnliud wrote home to his friends “America is I gmt country.
