AX OPEN LETTER. To tho Eight Hon E, J. Soddon, Premia! of Xew Zealand. SIR, —I have propounded the following questions and answers for the purpose of showing that the Millenium hafi arrived, and 1 respectfully request you te say whether the answers aro right 01 wrong. Q. —What indicates that the Millenium has-arrived? A. —The fact that "Christ’s Ideals/’.th* Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of Man, are finding practical expression on earth. Q. —How is tho Fatherhood of God finding practical expression on earth. A,—The State has become an instrument! in God's hands and is now regulating* and controlling worldly affairs in obedience to Divine guidance, Q. —In what way does tho State receivi I Divine guidance? | A.—God inspires tho rulers of the State. Q. —Who says so? A—The present head of the Government of Xew Zealand. Q. —When did the Premier say this? A. —On the 22nd April, 1303, ho slated in an official letter "that he is a firm believer in following the guidance from above/' * Q, —Are tho political affairs of Xew Zealand subject to Divine guidance at the present timer A.—Yes, and State socialism is the goal whither Divine guidance is ; leading Xew Zealand. Q.—What is State Socialism? A. —State ownership and administration of land, and all other sources .oft wealth. Q. —Why is everything to be vested in the State?

A.—Because God desires the world treated as an estate* or heritage that belonga to the brotherhood of man. Q. —What advantages will bo derived from State ownership of the world’#, properties? A.—Every'man will be able to obtain remunerative employment, therefore want and poverty will disappear, while the conservation of land and other sources of wealth in the hands of the State means an ora of unbounded material prosperity. Q. —But the Churches say that material prosperity causes moral and spiritual decay? A,—-The Churches assume this when endeavouring to account for their own loss of. powei;. and authority. Q. —Why is the “power ; s of the Churches waning? ‘ * A.—Because God is now vesting in the State the power and authority that He formerly bestowed on the Church. Q.—What will become of tho Church? A.—God will direct the. State to found * new Church to bo called the Church of Great Britain. Q,—Will this Church be greater than any the world has yet'seen? A,—God intends* that the Church of Bonn shall become* the ; Church of Great Britain, and, 1 in conjunction with th«t Great British Empire, sway the whols of Christendom during the Milleniaf age.
