literal Christian nation.
Now, although we have this ad
vantage, which no one can take
from us, and conceded, too, by all
the literary and Christian author
ities in Christendom, we will not
build on it alone, nor at all. We
will not have it said that we car
X y our definition by a grammatic
a f or rhetorical decision of the
great question. We appeal to all
our public documents, without re
gard to party. We appeal to all
our elementary and most profound
writers on the subject of national
ity. Nay, we appeal to the common
views of this whole community.
Have we not a church and a state
in every State in the Union and
in every European nation? Do not
all belong to the state or nation,
and a part only, and that often a
small part, to the church? Is not
the bond of union in the Christ
ian kingdom faith, or the new
birth? What nation is there whose
citizens or a majority of them, are
Christians. Not one, even in pro
fession..
But there is a reflex light of
Christianity, a moralizing and a
civilizing influence as well as a
direct and soul-redeeming radi
ance, which imparts to those na
tions that have the oracles of God
a higher standard of moral excel
lence, a more discriminating con
scientiousness. and a more ele
vated national character, which,
in contrast with pagan nations,
obtains for them the honorary dis
tinction of Christian nation. Still,

“THREADS OF A NATION”
FOLLOWS COTTON FROM
FIELDS TO FASHIONS
r HE miracle of cotton from the
fleecy white bolls on the South
ern plantation to milady’s latest
fashions, has just been filmed in
natural color and is being released
to motion picture theatres through
out th>e country. It is called “The
Threads of a Nation.”
The ten minute reel depicts not
only the magic transformation of
cotton from raw material to queen
ly raiment, but also shows the his
torical growth of the immense cot
ton empire of the South upon which
millions of persons depend for
livelihood.
Featured are the intricate ma
chines—ginning, weaving, dyeing
and printing—whose almost human
Ingenuity and artist’s genius clothe
the nation. The picture is the life
story of personal garments and use
ful fabrics, first blooming in color
ful fields, then spun into endless
threads, woven Into fetching pat
terns, dyed with beautiful colors
and printed in gay designs. So far
flung are the processes of cotton
manufacture that it took nearly six
as nations, or states, the spirit and
character of the nation are anti
Christian. A community of Jews is
New York or New Orleans, even
were they naturalized citizens of
the United States, would not im
part to those cities an American
or Gentile spirit, nor would they
impart to our Nation a Jewish
spirit or character. They would
still be Jews and we Americans.
The American Nation as a na
tion is no more in spirit Christian
than were Greece and Rome when

months to make this ten minute
“short.”
Popular In treatment throughout,
“The Threads of a Nation” is the
first of a series of screen enter
tainments recording the cultural
and economic attainments of the
cotton textile industry during the
past few decades. The film gives a
background for a clear understand
ing of cotton’s essential usefulness
to the consumer and the economic
significance of one of America's
basic commodities.
the apostle planted churches in
Corinth, Athens, or in the metrop
olis of the empire, with Caesar's
household in it. Roman policy,
valor, bravery, gallantry, chivalry
are of as much praise, admiration,
and glory in Washington and Lon
don as they were in the very cen
ter of the pagan world in the days
of Julius or Augustus Caesar. We
worship our heroes because of
their martial and Roman virtue,
Virtue in the Roman language was
only a name for bravery or cour
age. Such was its literal meaning.
With a Roman it was queen of all
the giaces and of all mota! ex ~
cellencies. It raised from
to patrician rank and created mil
itary tribunes, decemvirs, trium
virs, dictators, consuls, king,
perors. With us it cannot make
king, but may, perhaps, a third
.
time make for us a President. If
indeed, it does not yet make ■
us a king we shall blame the soil
not the culture. Kings
grow in America. But under our
free and liberal institutions
can impart more than kingly pow
er under a less offensive name.
But a Christian community is,
by the highest authority, called a
kingdom. He, however, who gave
it this name said to Caesar’s rep
resentative, “My kingdom is
of this world. Had My kingdom
been of this world. My servants
would have fought, and I should
not have been delivered to the
Jews. But now is My kingdom not
from hence.” It is, then, decided,
first, that we have qo Christian
nation or kingdom in the world,
but that Christ has one grand
kingdom, composed of all the
Christian communities in the
world, of which He is Himself the
proper sovereign, lawgiver, and
iring.
Having, then, no Christian na
tion to wage war against
Christian nation, the question is
reduced to a more rational and
simple form, and I trust it will be
still more intelligible and accept
able in this form, viz: Can Christ’s
kingdom or church in one nation
wage war against His kingdom or
church in another nation? With
this simple view of the subject,
where is the man so ignorant of
the letter and spirit of Christian
ity as to answer this question in
I the affirmative? Is there a man of
ordinary Bible education in
| city or commonwealth who
affirm that Christ’s church in
Engiand may of right wage
against Christ's church in Amer
ica?
