—It is a notable truth, uttered by Rev. John Robertson, of the City Temple, Glasgow, Scotland, published in a recent prophetic journal. After stating that God would show that all human government was a failure, so far as bringing forth righteousness is concerned, even with “saints” in possession of power, he refers to a noted example of this: “Just as in the Commonwealth, when Cromwell and the God-fearing, praying men ruled England, the evils and corruptions were only driven in—not removed. Otherwise you can not explain the terrible reaction which took place when Charles II. was restored. As soon as the Commonwealth was destroyed, and the iron rule in the name of God was lifted up, lo, the people rushed to dissipation and wickedness, as soon as the infamous Charles II. was brought back! So it will be at the end.” So it will be when so-called “Christian Citizenship” and National Reform triumphs. A church and state or religio-political government may make men hypocrites, or martyrs, but it can never make them righteous.
