The Papacy and the Word.

By Editor

The last encyclical of Pope Leo XIII. says that “it is important that the whole authority of the Scripture may be established in as solid a manner as possible,” and intimates that this object can be secured only by the Roman Catholic Church. There is one way in which it may truthfully be said that the Papacy “establishes” the Scripture. She does it by fulfilling the predictions made by Scripture, from 1,800 to 2,400 years ago, of the rise, character, and work of the Papacy. But somehow neither she nor the majority of Protestants seem to see this. We propose, however, God willing, to present before our readers in the near future some of these predictions and fulfillments.
