The Religion of Kossuth.
By Editor
The religion of Kossuth, the great Hungarian patriot who just passed away, is now a matter of much discussion, the Roman Catholics claiming that he received communion from a Roman370Catholic priest just before his death, although he had been a Protestant all his life. Well, supposing he did, what of it? How does this affect the truth or falsity of Roman Catholicism or Protestantism? Personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ through God's word is the true basis of Protestantism and of Christianity, and great men or great names are of no weight or worth. With error, however, it is different. "Have any of the rulers or of the Pharisees believed?" was the question asked in Christ's day and in the times of all reformations. It is well to remember that in true Christianity there are "not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble," but "God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;" "that no flesh should glory in his presence." It is all in Christ, "who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption." He who knows Christ will not glory in great men nor names, but in the one Man and the one name—Jesus.
