SUPPLEMENTARY PAPERS. 37 
Just as its parent predecessor, the first French Revolution, after 
killing off France’s Royal Family invited others to do the same 
while they publicly proclaimed there was no God, declared the Bible 
to be only an invention of the priests, and claimed the whole earth 
as the possession of Communistic man, without any superior over 
him for evermore. But whatever other nations may choose to do, 
the bulk of the British nation, because it believes the Bible to be the 
inspired word of God, and obeys Bible teaching, will never be guilty 
of anything after that Communistic sort, and will never seek to de- 
stroy either its Royal Family or its national weights and measures 
divinely given to the origines of its race as an historic heir-loom in 
the mysterious beginning of time, and in antiquity vastly more re- 
mote as well as sublime than any of the names quoted by Mr. Sandford 
Fleming. 
Hence the British nation will be under no perplexity on this 
abstract subject of time-keeping, though some of its requirements do 
crop up more and more conspicuously as the world grows older, and 
the fulness of the Gentiles begins to come in. For, if the nation 
does really desire to continue to run in the national paths prepared 
for it by God, and as they may be read off now with increasing dis- 
tinctness in the sure word of prophecy, it has only to consider what 
Prime Meridian will best suit its own people, wherever they congre- 
gate in the greatest numbers. And it has something of that kind to 
consider and legislate for at the present moment, as thus: 
On the very same principle that for two centuries past, the British 
have held their Prime Meridian to be that which passes through 
England, London, Greenwich ; so now in this present age, when the 
hundreds of millions of living souls of India have been given us by 
Providence for fellow-subjects, the Prime Meridian of the whole 
nation should, in fairness and justice, be removed from Greenwich, 
not westward, but eastward. And if the question be next raised, 
‘‘how far,” then due regard to numbers, climate and geographical 
aptitudes for British life, manufactures and commerce as over-ruled 
and directed by the only true religion, bring us to the general 
Meridian of Egypt. And in Egypt more particularly and precisely 
to the exact Meridian line of that both ante and anti Egyptian 
Monument alluded to by Isaiah, viz., the great Pyramid. For that 
is the pillar “‘ matzaybah,” announced by the Messianic Prophet as 
destined to come forth in the latter day as a sign and a witness to 
the Lord of Hosts; and it is now found by scientific examination, 
and weights and measures, proof to contain, conformably with the 
Bible, religious and prophetic testimony of its own, from before the 
beginning of any of the nations, to the glorious future of the Anglo- 
Saxon people, American as well as British. But only for just so 
long as they obey God in the national paths and within the national 
bounds which He, with omniscient knowledge of the future through
