[Boston Herald, May 15, 1898]
Hail,
brother! fling thy banner
To the billows and the breeze;
We proffer thee warm welcome
With our hand, though not our knees.
Lord of the main and manor!
Thy palm, in ancient day,
Didst rock the country's cradle
That wakes thy laureate's lay.
The hoar fight is forgotten;
Our eagle, like the dove,
Returns to bless a bridal
Betokened from above.
List, brother! angels whisper
To Judah's sceptred race, —
"Thou of the self-same spirit,
Allied by nations' grace,
"Wouldst cheer the hosts of heaven;
For Anglo-Israel, lo!
Is marching under orders;
His hand averts the blow."
Brave Britain, blest America!
Unite your battle-plan;
Victorious, all who live it, —
The love for God and man.
"The United States to Great Britain"
by Mary Baker Eddy
The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, pp. 337 – 338
In 1898, Mary Baker Eddy, of Christian Science, wrote a poem titled “The United States To Great Britain” In this poem, Mrs. Eddy refers to the
United States and Great Britain as "Anglo-Israel," and our "brother," Great Britain, as "Judah's
sceptred race".

An 1890 book
advocated British
Israel-ism. According to the doctrine,
the Lost Ten tribes of Israel found their way to Western Europe and Britain,
becoming ancestors of the British and related peoples. British
Israel-ism (also called
Anglo-Israel-ism) is a doctrine based on the hypothesis that people of Western
European descent, particularly those in Great Britain, are the direct lineal descendants
of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel. The doctrine often includes the tenet that
the British Royal Family is directly descended from the line of King David. The
central tenets of British Israel-ism
have been refuted by
evidence from modern genetic, linguistic, archaeological and philological
research. The doctrine continues, however, to have a significant number of
adherents. The movement has never had a head organization or a centralized
structure. Various British Israelite organizations were set up across the
British Commonwealth and in America from the 1870s; a small number of such
organizations are active today.
