FromThe American Sentinel, Vol. 7, No. 25

It is announced that now, “after an agitation of a quarter of a century, the Hungarian Chamber of Deputies has adopted a resolution which commits that country to religious equality by binding the Government to introduce bills, making it possible, among other things, for Christians and Jews to intermarry, and for Christians to become Jews in faith.” This is all plain enough, but not so the statement also made that “the new legislation will affirm the supremacy of the law; State over all creeds.” That is, that whereas in the past a single creed has ruled the State, now the State is to rule all creeds. And this is heralded to the world as a victory for religious liberty! Will people ever come to understand that while the Church is supreme in its sphere, and the State supreme in its sphere, that those spheres no more touch than do Polaris and Crucis.
