Of What Politics Are You?
By Editor
Before election there were many men proud to say, "I am a Democrat," "I am a Republican," "I am a Prohibitionist," "I am a Socialist." Most of these would gladly say, "I am an American." They would claim it as a proud designation, an honored title. But there is something better, for there is coming a day when the great God will number the people, each one according to his choice. Egypt and Babylon and Philistia and Tyre and Ethiopia and Persia and Greece and Rome and England and America,—all will be remembered. It will be said of each of the citizens of each of the countries, "This one was born there." Yet his land or his city gives him no continuance of life beyond the earthly. But "of Zion it shall be said, This one and that one was born in her; and the Most High Himself will establish her. Jehovah will count, when He writeth up the peoples, This one was born there." See Ps. 87:3-6. Another prophet declares: "And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey Him." Dan. 7:27. The politics of the editor can be well expressed in the language of an old soldier of King Emmanuel: "I am a Fifth Universal Monarchy man." That commonwealth is not made by corrupt men; the Leader in that land remakes both men and land.
