Religious Tolerance Granted in Peru

The Chamber of Deputies in Peru, on October 4, by a vote of 66 to 4, adopted an amendment to the constitution granting religious tolerance in the exercise of any religion. Hitherto every form of religion except the Roman Catholic has been prohibited. Nearly two millenniums ago the Master said, “This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.” Matt. 24:14. Is it not truly remarkable how religious liberty during the last three quarters of a century has been granted in first one intolerant nation and then another, until the whole world is being opened for those who are proclaiming the good news of the gospel and kingdom of Christ?
