The World Converted to Infidelity

It is admitted on all sides that there has been a wide departure from the doctrines taught in the churches half a century ago. Even the secular papers recognize this fact. An illustration of this is found in the statement of a New England daily that if Thomas Paine could return with the same views he held when hunted like a mad dog, he could easily become “one of the adored pastors of one of our most select churches.” Thomas Paine’s teachings are just as far from the truth now as when he first uttered them, but the times and the people have changed. The world is fast being converted, but it is being converted to infidelity instead of to Christianity. The only hope of the situation is found in the assurance that the coming of the Lord is near.
