The tunnel thru the air : $b or, Looking back from 1940
Gann, William D. (William Delbert)
Imaginary wars and battles -- Fiction; Science fiction
"In closing, I request that one of the terms of peace shall be that
New York City shall be the capital of the United Kingdom of the World;
that the plan of the future shall be according to Ezekiel. The Bible is
replete with references thruout of a rebirth. Jesus said 'Ye must be
born again of water and of the spirit.' A change of name is referred to
many times. Jesus said 'I will give him a new name.' The United Kingdom
of the World shall be the new name. Jesus said 'I will be their God and
there shall be no more War.' In Ezekiel 48:35, his last prophecy was
'And the name of that city from that day shall be THE LORD IS THERE.'
New York City, which is to be the capital of the United Kingdom of the
World and which has been known as the most wicked city in the world,
is now to be the capital of the land of love and liberty, because the
victory which united the world was won from there. I christen it 'THE
CITY OF THE LORD.' May you so live that the world may know by the acts
and justice of this great city that THE LORD IS THERE. I thank you, one
and all."
When Supreme Commander Gordon finished speaking, almost every man and
woman in the audience were in tears. They had never known that such
wonderful things were in the Bible and that all of these very events
were foretold by the greatest prophet, Ezekiel.
The President of the United States stepped to the platform and
suggested that they give a rising vote of thanks and three cheers
for Supreme Commander Robert Gordon. When the cheering was over, the
President said: "The conference is going to close for the evening and
meet tomorrow when Supreme Commander Gordon will go over the plans for
the future brotherhood of love. If you will have patience for a few
moments, General Walter Kennelworth will make the closing address, but
in the meantime I want to introduce to you America's greatest woman,
one whom we hope that the good women of America will select to be the
first woman to rule the United Kingdom of the World; one who made a
supreme sacrifice and rendered her country the greatest aid in time
of war. I present to you the wife of General Walter Kennelworth, and
the aide of Supreme Commander Robert Gordon, the woman who saved the
capitol at Washington--General Edna Kennelworth."
When the President had finished and the applause had died down,
General Edna Kennelworth arose. "Mr. President, Supreme Commander
Gordon, Brothers and Sisters of the United Kingdom of the World: To
me belongs no honor and I seek no glory. We owe it all to the genius
of our Supreme Commander, Robert Gordon. I thank our worthy President
and all the nations of the world who have shown their honor and
appreciation to General Walter Kennelworth, my husband, and myself. I
am happy to know that the cause of women has triumphed and that our
Supreme Commander has set an example for the world and has shown what
the love of a good woman can do. I thank you."
