THE CHURCH OF ROME.

IN every age she has shed blood; her thirst for it is not quenched; she would shed it now and establish again the Inquisition if she could. In all our reading we have never seen one penitent word or act, or read one expression of regret for her persecutions and innumerable martyrdoms in the past! Not one! And against no other on earth is there directed such awful denunciations, such vengeful threats, such exterminating judgments, by Almighty God, as against this murderous harlot!
Why, then, say antichrist has not come? Why scan the future to find what lies in the past? Why burden and blacken the future with shadow that already for more than a thousand years has covered the world? It is settled, and is plain as evidence can make it, that no future apostasy or coming antichrist is needed to fulfill the word of God.—Messiah's Herald.
