The Church Turning Away from the Bible
By Editor
THE London Christian World says that literal interpretations of the book of Jonah, and of the story of Lot's wife would scarcely be heard there even from the most venerable of old-fashioned preachers. Not only the London Christian World, but the so-called "Christian world" in general are throwing the Bible overboard so fast that we cannot help wondering what it is by which they expect to convert the world. The truth is that the world is converting the church away from the Bible; and when that conversion shall have been completed, and the church and the world stand together, the church, seeing that the world is like itself, will fancy that the world and not itself has changed, and will be ready to cry, "The millennium has come." Then "sudden destruction" shall come upon them both, and they shall not escape.
