A “Christian,” yet Not a Christian Utterance.—
We clip the following from the Pacific Christian of March 17:— “For the sake of humanity, as well as for vengeance for the murder of the men of the Maine, we hope and pray that the government will act, and act speedily. If this be jingoism, make the most of it!” There is that in it which is more serious than jingoism: it is either ignorance of the Word of God or downright unbelief; for it is written: “Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath; for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.” Rom. 12:19. Why not be willing to trust God?
