“National Reform” vs. the Bible.

By J. A. OPPEY.

WHAT “REFORMERS” SAY.

“Christ shall be this world's king.”

“What we want is law, and we will have it too.”

“Our methods to secure it are, agitation, the ballot, and, last, the bullet.”

“The kingdom of Christ must enter the realm of law through the gateway of politics.”

“Our remedy for all these malific influences is to have the Government simply set up the moral law, recognize God's authority behind it, and lay its hands on any religion that does not conform to it.”

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.

“My kingdom is not of this world.” John 18: 36.

“If my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight.”—Ib.

“A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return.” Luke 19:12.

“Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.” Matt. 26:52.
