ROMAN CATHOLICS have persecuted. History declares it abundantly. Rome admits the facts, though she will not call the part which the church acted in it persecution. Protestants have persecuted. History has also recorded this. Protestants admit it, and every true Protestant Christian declares it to be wrong. The Papacy cannot admit the wrongfulness of her misdeeds without vitiating the principles on which her entire system is based, namely, the infallibility of the pope and the church. But that she has erred grievously, history abundantly attests, although she will not admit the truth. She is, therefore, committed to a lie as long as she exists; and every tree will bear its own fruit. Protestantism can admit the facts of history without vitiating her basic principles; for they lie beyond and outside of any and every worldly system. Her guide is not fallible man, but the infallible word. Her example is not an erring human being, but Christ Jesus, a personal, living, loving, present Saviour. To know that we were wrong yesterday is an evidence that we are standing in clearer light to-day; and "the path of the just" "shineth more and more, unto the perfect day." True Protestantism ever presses onward to greater light and freedom. Roman Catholicism looks backward to superstition, darkness, and bondage. Reader, where do you stand?
