SHORT SERmon.
Our Lord says: Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." Is this statement true to experience, ? Is it the meck who inherit the enrth ? It. is claimed by the anomies of Christianity that the statement is not truo and that it is not believ od. Wo think that a very strong caso could be made out to the
effect that it is not believed. As far as we can see, the nations do not believe it.
