The Papacy.

By Uriah Smith

THE papacy is one of the great focal points of prophecy, therefore everything pertaining to it, past or present, which throws any new light on its character and purposes, is of interest to the Bible student. It is for this reason we give the article from the Christian Weekly entitled, “The Moral of the Story of Canossa.” The reader will find there an ample array of facts to show that while the scepter is smitten from its hands, it is struck with a degree of blindness and presumption well befitting its near approach to final destruction. As a mighty angel, in the impressive imagery of the Apocalypse, took up a stone like a great millstone and cast it into the sea, so with violence shall great Babylon be thrown down. And we are well assured that the victims of her arrogance and oppression will soon be called upon to rejoice over her as she receives the just vengeance of Heaven.
