ecrated men, to hurl them against the organized powers, and
inbreaking hordes, that are desecrating the Sabbath, corrupting the
Church, maiming the truth, debauching morality, bribing conscience,
licensing drunkenness, desolating the home, adulterating religion,
worshiping wealth, crushing the poor, chaining manhood to secrecy,
denying God in government, and the Lord Jesus Christ on His throne. Men
are needed, men of the martyr type, men who count not heads, but
principles. Men are in demand, men who find victory in defeat, men who
see the mountains filled with horses and chariots, the mighty host of
God.

THE GREAT INHERITANCE.

The Church of the Covenanters has a precious inheritance. The
achievements of the past, the privileges of the present, and the
victories of the future--all, all are hers, if she be faithful. The Old
Blue Banner leads to the world-wide triumph of the principles it
represents. This is no presumption; it is a foregone conclusion, the
very language of logic. The certainty is based on God's revealed
purpose, and glows in the richest hues of prophecy. Humility forbids
boasting; we have not said that the Covenanted Church shall have this
honor. But the Banner of the Covenant, by whomsoever borne, will surely
be glorified with victory, as Jesus Christ, the great Captain, leads His
conquerors to universal conquest.

The Covenant contains all Bible principles that apply to Church and
State; it is neither sectarian nor sectional. The Covenant abhors
sectarianism. It contains the universal principles which must become
universal in practice ere the world bask in Millennial glory. The true
Covenanter is no sectarian. He occupies the center of a circle that
contains all revealed truth, and he is pledged to all known duty.

The martyrs died in the assurance of the triumph of the cause for which
they suffered. "Do not weary to maintain the present testimony," said
dying Renwick. "When Christ goeth forth to defeat anti-Christ, with that
name written on His vesture and on His thigh, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF
LORDS, He will make it glorious in the earth."

Marriage with the Son of God awaits the Church. Covenanting with the
King of glory awaits the nations.

"And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice
of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying,
Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth.

"Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to Him: for the marr
