THE ANGLO-SAXON AND THE WORLD'S FUTURE. ''Z'Zl 



turies look down on 3011."' Men of this generation, from 

 the pyramid top of opportunity on which God has set us, 

 ive look doivn on forty centuries ! We stretch our hand 

 into the future with power to mold the destinies of un- 

 born millions. 



" We are living, we are dwelling, 

 Iq a grand and awful time, 

 In an age on ages telling— 

 To be living is sublime! " 



Notwithstanding the great perils which threaten it, I 

 cannot think our civilization will perish ; but I believe 

 it is fully in the hands of the Christians of the United 

 States, during the next ten or fifteen years, to hasten 

 or retard the coming of Christ's kingdom in the world by 

 hundreds, and perhaps thousands, of years. We of this 

 generation and nation occupy the Gibraltar of the ages 

 which commands the world's future.
