Uion an-ival thev were found to be an intellirent. coHiyaied lot of men and women, representative people from all over the United States, l'licv reported a universal jrood treatment across the continent, grand scenery along the way tilling the time with sight seeing. The fol lowing resolutions are a good expression of the treatment received at the hands of the railroads: We 'he ministers tad elders of the. United Presbyterian ehurvh tleleg.ites in the general assembly with our irea and mends, numbering 130 persons, lieing most sincerely uuDreciative of the kiniln..ss and courtesy shown to us by the Wisconsin Central R K Co and its general passenirer agent, .lamps C I'ond, and by the Northern r.u-iru- K K Co and 15 N Austin, it.- assist ant general passenger agent, both of which omceM aieonipanieil tig on their respective line, and being desirous to give expression io aui-n rreung oi npprtviaiion. iiereov in company assembled, adopt by united voice the following resolution : 1 Kesolved, That we tender our grrteful acknowledgements to the aforesaid railroad companies and to the said officers for their kind and considerate treatment extended to us through our entire journey. That while we were delayed on the former road by the washout at Hudson. Wi-. which was an accident wholly without human responsibility and extending to the X W St Paul road also, yet the manner in which the general passenger agent provided for our transportation to .St Panl in the face of so many difficulties very justly en titles him and the road over" which he presides to our gratitude and kind remem berance. But as the irreater part of our journey was over the Northern Pacific rail road, and havintr tv the most favor.il. le conditions invn permitted to enjoy the advantages extended by the said road, we hereby express our UsA unnn?- ciMiuinor me very tnorous;!i enuupment and .ii.iiiovuit-iii oi sain roau. wnicn nas con tributed so carefully to our eniovmont and comfort as to make" a substitiUe for home oouiiorts and txinveniences and frreatlv re duce the weariness and privations inci dent to such an extended journey. Kesolved. Further that the dinine and sleeping car service has been so discret managed that they have compassed these wants of our party bv Movidint- so coni- ously and hospitably " therefor that we take a rv-ai pieaure in nereuy reconling our gratitude to F J TurUcot-snpexintendent of u.u.ug is-:r ice. .a t . . m r -. inning car condector. and V J Richet.

Up through the beautiful Willamette Valley, green with the coming harvest, thev finally reached the asemblv city for an eight days residence. At 8 o'dock" the L f church was blled with delegates, visi tors and citizens interested in welcoming to our midst a national assetclilv of ens- crattd ministers and elders. Or Bruce the retiring moderator, was in the chair An anthem by a choir, a double 'luartet opened the assembly, followed by a fervant prayer, a sonir by the oonerecation anil a su-intnre reading, by Rev M G Kyle.of Philadelphia.

FuTTof praise for tiod and thankfulness for the flowers and beauty rrounding us. our constant favors, asking God's blessing on the meetings of the assembly, an elabo rate petition. Another song by the con gregation was followed lv the annual ser mon of the moderator. Dr Bruce saw. n.- his text: "Awake, awake, put on thy strength, oh. Zion." Isaiah 2:1. Not wealth nor culture, nor any of the thinm of the world are her strength, but prayer. The relation of prater to the supply of our .leetis. is a rational one. Close to l .ruar 1 faith, in which there i no .. r J. I . . ... ... i i.r,. 7; 1 ...... i-r-T- .. -. divine personality. The essence of spiritual strength resides in the will. Righteous ness is the most potent strength in the world. Thj truth shuns no antagir.i'm. The world must push forward for truth like the steamer plowing through the mighty Prcific. then will the world lie evangelized. Unity mnst have an indwell ing of the spirit. Nearly half of the world has not beard of C hnst. w hich tells of the battles to be fought. He called tle atten tion of the world to tiie necessity of Cnit- ed opposition to the Catholic organization; me need ot a greater fight for Sabbath ob servation, referred to the crime prevalent, and to the illiteracy cf the day . Christian -it? owes its superiority as a syntein o' re ligion to its rigin. The church is being attacked by higher '.riticism. in opposition to the surety of the inspiration of the scriptures. The United Presbyterian church will be found in the front ranks in the tight for maintaining the integrity of the scriptures. Dr Bruce then formally constituted tbe 3Cth genera! pssembly of the United Pres byterian church. Mayor Flinn was presented to the as sembly and extended to the members of the assembly n hearty welcome, express ing words oi appreciation for their presence in Vibany, hoping bv it for each and all o? u to become better citi zens,and tbe leading of belter, and purer lives. He welcomed them to this valley ore blessed in resources and beauty than the land of the jews, closing with a wel come to our home and hearts- Rev Rilev Little, on behalf of tbe church. welcomed the assembly to the church, referrine in affecting words to the connection of Dr Irvine with the church, now unable to be present. He referred to the organiza tion o: the Albany church in Octolier, 1853 as a United Presbyterian chnrrh, five years before the formal union of ihe churches, the firBt United Preahvteri .n church in the denomination.

Dr Bruce, the retiring moderator, then welcomed to the chair, in a few kind words of encouragement, Dr Wilson as ins successor, in wiison in ins in augural address set before the delegates the importance of this Assembly, which has before it questions which are to de termine the welfare of our church . The first act of business was the ap pointment of a committee of three to visit Dr Irvine who is unable, at this time, to leave his home, and extend to him the sympathy of the members of the assembly and assure him of their prayers throughout the whole ot their n'ay Fraternal greetings were received bv telegraph from the Presbyterian General Assembly, which is in session at this time in Saratoga, New York. Reports of 'he several committees were read and referred to their respective committees.

Committee on ways and meausi report ed a large increase in the liberali'y of the church, yet the increase was spent largely in the erection of church build ings; many congregations contributing less than onk oknt per member towards the direct work of the church and heart ily urged upon the asaerably the adoption of the envelope system, or some regular s v. -teui for raising the church's funds. At this stage of the days procedure matters were staid on account of the appearance of Dr Irvine ths aged pasuir ot thia church, who was brought into the assembly in his chair. As a token of rerpect to the Dr the whole assem blage arose as his chair was wheeled tin the aisle. The lr was then introduced by the moderator to the assembly, and in a brief, but very impressive speech addressed ihe assembly and presented to the moderator and assembly a gavel wade from two pieces of wood -one '"en frorj an apple tree plant! by RevTS Kendall of the Associate church, the other from a tree planted bv Rev W ilson Blain of tiie Associate Reformed church. Ttiis gavel was placed in the hands of the moderator bt the eldest eon of Rev Wiison Blain.

Kriihv Mokmnh May 25th. Assembly was called to order at !i o'clock bv the moderator, Dr J A Wil son of Allegheny, Pa. Minutes of the previous .lav were read and adopted. The printed reports of the several Boards of the church were distributed among the delegates. The first address of the dav was given by Dr W S Owens ; (ienral See of the Home Mission Botrd. The Dr presented in his nstial earnest manner the importance anil extent ol the work of Home Missions. It received its authority from our Saviors parting command Bto ins Disciples "Uo ami evangelize all nations " The work of Mus Board is not local or confined few Presbyterians or CongreTrR'tons the work passed upon at the last meet ing of the committee of Home Missions aided Coigregations in all the Synods and w i'h an ama.inj t-q-.ialik. The Dr gave a brief statement of the work of the : .i- year and showed how very en couraging the work was. Especially in '.his great North West w here tbe Assem bly is sitting, the work has been very encouraging. Eight years ago, Spokane, Seattle, Tacoma and O vinpia were noth ing to the U P church and even Port- lArxi was out a .iltle band I tie lr was persuaded that the visit of the Assem bly to tins lar orth w est is going to s'.rengtoen tne Home Mission woik in the U P church and yet after the long journey made by the Assembly tbe del egates have seen but a little coruer. This North West the Dr declared was to be the Sou'.laad and Ireland of North America. Tbe climate is similar and the people will in time be similar. To this part of America immigrants from Scotland and Ireland continue to now. Notwithstanding the stringency of the t.mes about 1 more were raised by the church tor this Board. Notw iihs'anding the great liherali'v of the church to this Board, it was shown that still greater liberality nas needed to meet the work for the next year. lr Witherspoon. secretary of the Board of Freedtuans Mission was next beard in L-lialf of the colored people ot the south The several missions iu thi part of the church work were reported U in a flourish ing condition. It wa with regret that the Board ' were compelled to report the great l.sts bv tire of tbe KnoxvilleColleire and tbe adjoining building.used as Boys D-rniitory The buildings, howtwer, were well covered with insurance in the Arrott Ins Co. of Pittsburg and the BMMMMl has already been begun to replace tne loss by new build ings better suite! for the "c.rk. The lr made a strongappe.il for the moral unlift ing of the colored race in the south. For tho interest of those interested in this wirk we we give a brief summary of tbe (Victors speech: ;The safety of the church Jenian Is edu cation and uplifting of tbe colored people. The cc-icreJ population at the i.r-eiat rat. of increase doubles every 20 years The white population in the soutii. includini; increase by immigration, doubles in oo years.

President laxtifld in his inaugural address said : "To tba south thu question is of supreme im portance; but the responsibility for the ex tstanre of slavery did not red upon the south alone. Tbe nation itself is responsi ble f.r the -1 ;:.-. of the suffrage and is under special obligation, to aid in remov ing the illiteracy it has added to the voting population' fueaVxc i only one phase of tlss great question.

Wien we look luck on th work of tip first missionaries t this Northwest: we iei it is a great deal easier to plant a rhurcii at the present time. Th Dr made a bat at those who eomp'ajn of extravagant f tbe Hoard of Church Kxt-ni-n in laiild ing has i hurdies and parsvinages by saying that uiauy c mirregation- were wot shiping in pooawr churrlie than they ought to wor ship in. ami only because they would not build a l-ntxer.

A paper presented by lr VV T Meloy of Chicago asking that this issembly pass a resolution expressing ine'r ympathy with the large numoer or un "iiinloved in our country nnl with tbe large number of employers who can find no market for their industries and that we resolve, ( 1 ) That as a church we give more tody to tbe subject of Political Economy. (2l That we labor to place the reins of the o-overnment in tne nanus oi men wno-e principles stand for the rights of American citizens and protection of American Indus tries, created no little discussion by some of the iistiiiib ll n of the assembly. Efforts were made to rule it out as having a political Haor but it was ably defended by the Dr who presented it.

Am tbe oars in t put . i- ban strength the Drone boe I an-1 man, must co-opcrati t- guide the Imat to the desired point ; so prayer and human action must go hand in hand for the attainment of desirable n-eults. This is a principle of tin- Divine administration, fully illustrating the ccriptun-s, and oiie which accords with all human experiextce. To pray without working, i-i.ite kerv ; to work without praying, is contempt. In the -ilst chare ti-r of this prophecy, we have, the wild piercing cry of Zion, to her Divine King. Awake, awake, put on strength, 0 arm of the Ird ; awake, as in the ancient days, in tbe mmsMsMM of old. Art thou not it that have cut Rabab, and wounded the dragon." The answer to that cry, we have in the t.-xt. It is not the anii of th- I-rd that is asleep, it is Zion tba! sluiiiberr and needs to lie aroused. Hence the royal .-amnions, "Put on thy strength, O Zion." Then Zion has strength subjective strength. The world may not cone.sle it, but the fact is iinqtii-rjtionabh-. L What are tiie jirim iple elements of Zion's wtrengtb? Not wealth, numbers or rank; not culture, inttdlcct or elo quence, although th- may lap greatlv ileirab!e. as the media through which her power may nio-rale, when she exerts her strength. hat then are the -l-naents -f her etr. ngth? E. Prayer. It iw bv this that ehe brings the H-sources f the- intinite to her aid. There is no true Christian, but what will admit the isoU-ncv of prayer. The- e. ieiiti-l dc-nie-s it. He contends that the laws of nature are tixed. that the S-rititnri-- rcorewnt all things as coming to pass a.vonling to certain hxeil plan, an-1 that this excludes tbe MM of j prayer altogether from the Divine I ecoiiomv of the MEfU.

Startling state- iin ni, u may ix-, nut true to the letter. It is not made in referent to faith as a mere indwelling grace, but to faith in action, or th- ptMMf of faith. It can never ops-rate in the least, without a command promise on which to proceed, and so it never acts except in harmonv with the divine will. This insures suc: cesej in spiritual work. Presumption may fail, faith erannot. Tliat which ia not pMtsMB to him tliat believe-th, is not fs-rssible to God himself. Faith is an i l-ment of Zion's strength also, b;aue it brings her into union with the Divine personality of her exalted King. The effects of this unity are wonderful. He IB to the- chnrch, what the head is to the body. He is tiie author of her life, tiie source of her authority, the main-spring of her motion, the center rf her unity, and the crown of her glory. His energy dwells in her, his beauty is revealed through her. They liave one righteous ness, one life, one aim and purpose, one throne, one joy. They co-operate in the same work, ami in the exertion of the same strength. III. Spirituality. This element of strength, is both conservative and aggre sive in its influence. It lias a repelling i-.-.i- r, which keeps theunworthy from nti-ring the fellowship of the church. It has an awe-inspiring effect on the world. After the wonderful work ed" grace- at Pentecost, and the elimination of tbe unspiritual from the church, lev the death of Annanias and Sapphire, we are told of wliat we might term the re flex influences of the Spirit, as thev operated on the minds of men, through the spiritual life of tire church. The statement ia ma-le, "tliat fear came up en every MwaL'' and that of the rest durst no man join himself to them." When tbe church puts on the strength of her spirituality, she presents Christ ianity to the world, in a character which is very difficult to imitate. The world may enter her pale try simulating her lormaiism. but to counterfeit the spirit ual ieaturt-e of her religion, is an en tirely different thing. But this feature of Zion's strength, is aggreswve, as well as conservative. It inflames her with 1-rVt- to Gott, and a pe rishing world, and an earnest dt-sire DO extend tliat king dom, which is "righteousness, and tarace an.l joy in the Holv Ghost." It free from the fear of man. and fills her with ine spirit ot -wer, ot love, and ol a sound mind, ennobling her with a grandeur and o -tirage which disdain ana gomsm. and calls forth the admiration even of her ene-mi-s. When it atejunds. she- has the humility and meekness. w tucb like- the governor on the engine, controls her power and prevents all spasmodic, erratic action. Her willing nesas. too, comes from her spirituality. an-1 the very essence of spiritual strength re-sides in the will. There is no -tower tliat fits lot Christ's service, like the moral power ot a holy ule. we may devise means, enlist intellect, combine force, and arouse an enthusiasm, which proruisfS great results: but the fact re mains that the racist potent factor in all human effort, is righteousness, and that ttie-n- is no substitute tor a life character ired bv walking in the Spirit. Nothing else will sucex-ssiullv met-t the errors of uie wono. in ine lorm m wtucti tr.ev nfHintiia ia o - .it lite. H i.leT were mere a tract theories, we could meet them with the cold svilesrisius of . or with eleaiuent speech. But thev are woven into tiie very lite ot the man : an incaniati.-n. if yoa please, which must Is? confronted. atagnia-d. and Miliii ijiss y an emi:.iid Chriatianity. The spirituality of the church is not w hat it ought to be. not what it might be, and net w hat it will be, when the limes ed refreshing shall come from the precnce ol lb Lord. There is much inrmality in Zion: many who stand oM before the wejeid as inte-rrewration p-ints. having a vert small lease, almost over shadowed by a massive superincumbent -: r;. :-..r.- : . r K.-lness. Thev mav have a small measure oi Uie Spirit, bat they certainly have a large measure of the rU-sh. Tiieir presene-e in tbe chnrch. an-1 in the community, has not relieved us from the necessity of discustne the evi-U-nies ed" Christianity. And vet. there is much spirituality in the church, and much latent power, tliat it is not as yet brought to the front, bat has its in fluence in our Christian homes, lt may not tap found always in the mansions i-i tbe rich, in institutions f learning, or in tficial place- and power. But beneath the greasy gannents ot Use ir.actumst. tne smutiv g-arb ot tl:e miner, the home spun oi the soielier, mav be BBBtsd hearts which lnat true to Otat and n-spicsive to the crii-s of humanity. 1 i kitchens. cellars and dug-outs : in gar.ets and in attics, singing the song ot the shirt: in sickness, in weakness, in javvertv and in want : surrounde-i dm moral hltti and breathing a pet-tilcntial atmosihere. are th.-ss' who are the living epistles of Christ. They may not be Iveard like the noisy paddling K-neath the side-water stcaiucr. but like the silent screw ot the ptOXStUot U-iieatli tiie water, their in- nrteoce mav be n less uosaetlnL IV. The truth. The truth is a sacred lbmiil committed to the church, which she is to keep in its purity, and publish to all nations tor the oN-diance ot laitli. She is the candle-stick, w hence- its light must shine to enlighten and gladden tbe world. The truth as it is in Jesus, is upreme i-.i moral, spiritual power, lt is the- octree Of tiod and the wisdom ed God. lt enlightens the unde-rstaneling. niickens the cotsBCMBce, convuscea the luilgnient, converts the he-art. ixntre-ls the wnl, and constrains the- MB. lt seizes on the grv-at motive rvwers ot life, the thoughts desires and preijK-ses of men. ove rthrow ing reasonings, and evorv high thing lifting itself up against the knowledge of God. and leads captive every thought into the obedience of the t hnst. And thus, it casts the lite, as it were, into a new mould : makes dutv a delight, the service of God a pleasure sell-denial a privilege, and does what no system ot l-liilosophv or religion ever at tempted, enlists the affections 0 lithe side of the- conscience. It exercises lbs i-ewer bv -.iniple inan;- flsjtntilei. shining by its own light, with a radiance and beauty which no doubt has ever dimmed, and no controversy has ever soiled, lt shuns no antagonism, and fears no be but concealment. It needs no apology, an-1 calls for no adornment but its own naked simpluitv. I here is no surer way to defeat the end of the gospel. than to become an apologist for its truth cr -are it down to make it more acceptable to men. Says its Divine Author, "tut' words that I speak unto you. they are spirit and th?y are life." The xower of the ttuth is inherent. And so. no natural weakness in the in-rsoniUitv cf him who loves the truth, aud who works with it ami for it, can iasure his defeat The world's greatest Apostle was si-tiered at became of his weak bodily presence, and contemptible speech -, yet wherever he set up the standard of truth, wbetbet in idolatrous Athens or licentious Corinth; under the shadow of the temple of Diana at Kphesus or the pa lace of the Caesars at Rome; he came off victorious. Certainly Zion has an element of strength in the truth, wbicb when exerted, or put on. gives her im me'snreable power, ion huge l acme steamer, majestically ntOBtajM hr way like a thing of life, through cui'nding waves, and against adverse winds, trembling in every tihre of her structure, because of the pulse beatl ot the mighty engine hidden iu her bosom And when tbe church goes forth in the great work .of the wor.d's evangelization, pushing onward with the power ot the truth thrilling every fibre of her being, she will accomplish great thiugs for the kingdom of God on earth. "Glorious things are spoken of thee, 0 city of God. " 5!V. I'nity. The'church is one body in Cnrist. "By one Spirit are we all baptized Into one body." One in faith, iu experi ence, in sympathy, in affection, in mutual dependence, and in effort. There is not that denominational unity which is desir able, but there U a unity ot tbe SpirP. This is tbe true principle of unity which we are exhorted to keep. As national unity " determined, not by geographical limit", "orbyanyexttrnaleonttoiling force, bd by tbe spirit of loyalty and jiatriotis.n in SawMwaW zZel-.'L.;,. AM its citizens; so Zion's unity is determined by the presence and power of the Holy Spirit within her. fbere is no unity worthy of the name where there is no In dwelling of the Spirit A m-ire aggregation of incoherent elements is no, unity, "f beta i' no unity in a pile of .-and, or in a flock ot .heep There may be combination in tbe one, and association in tbe other, bat no unity. Real nnity always inrolves the loss of individuality. And that is what we hate in he chnrch. for we, being many are one body in Christ, and everyone mem' hers one of another. In this uaity ia strength VI. The urgency of the suinrn'Mis. This arise from the magnitude of the work, and the s'reng'h of the oDiicsition It is raid that one half cf (be people on the earth, hae never heard of a Savior, or seen a copy of U.e IJible. There are mote Mdhtsn in the wor d to day than 'here are Christian.'; mjre Brah-r-ins and twice as many Mobamedan. than there are Protestants. Tbe Confucians exewi in number tbe populati-m of the Daited States. Tbe work abroad is appalling in its mag nitude. But let us come to our own eon tinenr. South America is alcxst wholly given over to the superstitions of Rome., and in some of tbe Republics her benighted reign is not even challenged by the pres ence of a si agin Prve-tant n.Lsnoniry. In Ecuador, with a population of over 1.000. 000. there is not one Tbe fop appoints tbe President; tbe priests ninke the laws; and it is said '. . -re ii not a railroad, tele ersgb. or cage coach in tbe state. In Bolivia, wi h a popalatir.n of '2..000. and in Perc with a pcpolat'on of ;;,"00.00O, there is but one in each. The great battle of the age for iiberty of conscience, is yet to be fiagtt there. But let us OBSM uil nearer home. In our own tenutifn! republic. Rome is busily at work. The Jesuits, those "burglars of the uci verse." a Bishop Coxe so aptly terms tAweTii. have set up their headquarters at Washington, under the gui'-e of a uni versity, to control national legi-lation snd administration in the interests of tbe Romish chureb. Public men are already being called to aecocnt by archbishop- for their political-ar-ts. The shrewd Lej XIII. i more appropriately.

Tbe slimy, and loaiitsonie spa-ra of an impure press, is coming up into our houses like tbe frogs of Egypt. Oar crrrinai record.

Again: tee --xten:: - which ili'ericv rreva..- is a :,:-: :: : '..'-. It is aid. that in ths Cnion only one voter in five can wr.te his name, and that two thirds of our senators, an-1 seven eighths of our representatives, are from districts illiterate voters hold toe bai ence cf power. Again; old fashioned Christianity is les .Tied, and tbe pnpit proc-wnce-i a faiiure. And o a retigicn of ra-xiern thought, of intellectual OTlttire. and ha uiaciry is put forw.-rd to sureersede tbe re ligion of our fathers. Tbe pjwer. ciaiai. vigor, and of a C tlcanistic faith, are not congenial to those wb- weigh everlas-ticg . princip'es in the scale- of mammon, and regulate their onsciences by tbe statutes of the state. Oar holy religion has r-.o: re ceived tbe respvt which is due to it ? a revelation from heaven, even from those bo minister at its a-tars. Christianity owes its superiority as a system of reuanon. to its origin, and it was an insult to it to Irag it down, as was recently ikne. and set i- up as a .avorabte objjct ot comp-xt- son on the same plane with e mucianism. Budhisiu. Brailminism. Mohamcdanism. and all the other bundle of supetstition which go to make up toe religions of tbe nations, lt was the lacst stupendous ab surdity of the ?ge. As well have set tbe sun in the EMM bv tbe side of tbe gkrw worm: or tbe ru.ui ef Nszareui in all the dories -d his unveile-i divinity i-n t-e holy mount, by the senseless- hideously painted block of the id.V worshipp-;r; or. have com pared the voice from the excellent glory with the whine of the nmexxia from the minaret: of lslaiu. Again; ihe church is attacked in the very" e.tade. cf her strength, bv the assaults, of a so-called Higher Criti cism, on the integrity of the snend record. Fersiste-nt efforts are made to have us ac cept an interrc-gation point, as a substitote tor tne more sure won! ot propuecy wnicn we nave aiwavs revetva. ine ver'-at in spiration of the script ares is denied and their IE IBM J asserted, rendering them as unreliable as a guide to faith or morals, as is the veering weathercock on the church spire. Tbe s'ory of tin hill is prncainceel an allegory. Cain and Abel names for-ea-tities, and" Job a creature of the iuiaaina- Uon. Mirely. the suraaions in tne ssnn an urgent one. The issue is already join eil. and the lattle is on. We have na fear. fathers and brethren, of the position which the Cnited Presbyterian church will c-.cupy in this contest. She will ie touiw iu tne fore front of the hottest battle, true to the banner under which she inarches, on the folds of which :die has inscribed. "The truth of God.' AsWd to receive these scriptures as a nutgnetic needle, the errancy of which is conce-led. and the degree of the err.uK-v atrirmeil to be an unknown quan tity, to be determined only by those who caii talk learnedly of the lehovist and the Klohit. of the documeutiry and the sup piemcntarv hypithesis, and of the redac tors: it wilt be ours to decline with thanks, and to stand by the integrity, and main tain the inerrancy, of these holy oracle, lt shall be ours to view the snored recorii, us we have evei done, us the Polar Star, tixed by an eternal deereu as the cne in fallible guide of the faith and life of humanity, unfading, until the morning shall dawn, and the bright rising of the Son of Righteousness shall usher in an eternal day. How all these things, and others which might be noticed emphasize the summons in the text. Let Zion respond to it at once. Let there be a putting ou of the strength of her prayers, her faith, her spirituality, of the truth with which she is entrusted. andof her unity. Then shall she be clothed with power that is invincibl., for power ia the exertion of strength. Then w ill come the summons from her Divine King. " Arise and thresh.
