Rome.

Things are progressing slowly at Rome. There is now a prospect that the “Infallibility Dogma” will be proclaimed June 29th, and then the council propose to have a vacation till Oct. 15 h. It is said that “extensive preparations are being made to celebrate the occasion, and that the display of pomp and pageantry will surpass any demonstration of the kind ever witnessed in Europe.”

After the Pope is declared infallible, we may expect to see a stir among the nations. Should they assent, and submit to the Pope’s assumed infallibility, then, of course, nothing is final in state or church unless sanctioned by his authority. To this the nations will not submit without a terrible struggle. In describing the last part of the history of the “little horn,” just before it was “given to the burning flame,” Daniel says: “I beheld then because of the great words which the horn spake.” Dan. 7:11. This implies a proclamation containing “great words,” that will go forth just before its overthrow. Let us watch.—World’s Crisis.
