How Long Will It Be?

By Editor

The Rome correspondent of the Western Watchman (Roman Catholic), in the issue of that paper of September 28, declares that even certain enemies of the Papacy understand "that the Catholic Church was never so powerful, never so united, never looked forward to more glorious prospects than she does in this century. They are well aware that in America, Australia, and Africa she erects every single month new dioceses, new apostolic vicariates, to cope with her triumphant march, while in the Old World the most educated and high-minded of other churches are submitting gladly to her sway." Doubtless true. How long will it be ere she will say, "I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow"? And then will come God's side of the picture. Would that men might see both sides now!
