When Our Country Honored God.

 
THE wonderful place the Most High has held in the Britain of earlier years, an address of the Speaker of the House of Commons to Queen Elizabeth in the sixteenth century beautifully reveals. The Speaker said: “We now assembled, as diligent in our calling, have thought good to move your Majesty, to build a fort to the surety of the realm, to the repulsing of your enemies abroad: which must be set upon firm ground and steadfast, having two gates, with two watchmen at either of them. The same to be named the Fear of God: the governor thereof to be God, Your Majesty the lieutenant; the stones, the hearts of your faithful people; the two watchmen at the open gate to be called Knowledge and Virtue, the two at the postern gate to be called Mercy and Truth.”
