Destiny of the British.

Last night at Carterton, Miss Waterston gave a lantern slide lecture on the plan of God commencing with the call of Abraham to be the father of a multitudinous race through whom God would send the Messiah and who would be God’s servants on earth to demonstrate the laws of love as taught by Christ Jesus. The destiny of Ephraim and Manasseh —that they would become a nation and a company of nations—was found fulfilled in the British Commonwealth and the United States of America. . The lecturer stated that the immediate future of the Anglo-Saxon race was a period of cleansing of nation sins, the return of the Messiah, and then a glorious future as the nucleus of the Kingdom of God on earth. Next Thursday a lecture entitled “Proof from the New Testament as to the Whereabouts of lost Israel” will be given.

Acrobats and Independents. “This is the era of political acrobats,” stated Captain Justin Power, Independent candidate for the Masterton seat, when addressing a meeting of electors at Clareville last evening. In support of his observation Captain Power quoted from a published article by Professor Algie, now National Party candidate for Remuera, in which the

professor dilated at length on the important part independents could play in political life, at a time when the party system was in disrepute, and could be the means “whereby- a general clean up can be effected and whereby a transition from a bad to a better state may be brought about,” saying that Britain at war had found parties an obstruction to unity, so party government had been submerged, the professor added. “Is it not strange that before starting to win the peace we should replace that obstruction to unity?”
