If von knew 01 a Bible truth that, preached in our pulpits, would fill our churches, would you not he glad to proclaim it. If von knew how to convince people that the English Church is the one true Church (not merely a branch oi it, but the Church ot .ill and God hover had hut one), would you not like to do so? If you could convince the sceptic, like Bradiaugh that God hud lcent liis promises or the critic, like Dr. Driver, that God had not bctn compelled by circumstances to change His plans (which is impossible), would you riot be glad to do so?

A national Church with a Hebrew liturgy; then that nation must be Israel, for thoso are the marks of Israel of tho latter days. If this nation be not Israel, where is she? If tiiis nation be not Israel, what place is there lor this great worldwide Christian empire in the Bible? . If this nation be not Israel, why do we call ourselves in our Liiurgj "Thy people," "Thy chosen," "Thine Inheritance," and talk of Abraham as "our forefather"? , ... , ... If this nation bo Israel, ought we not to rejon-o iri such a privilege and sav "Blessed is that nation that is in such a case; yea, happy is I hat people that have the Lord for their God"? , ~ „ if all this he true, must it not concern the shepherds ol (,od s people to know it and teach it?
