The Catholic Church and World Power
By Editor
Our London letter, on page 10, is worthy of special mention. We trust no one will fail to give it a careful reading. The hope of the Catholic Church to use the New World in swinging herself back into power is one of the significant features of the article. Mr. Snow's report, in last week's paper, of the convention of the federated bodies of the Catholics in this country, should be kept in mind when reading Mr. Bartlett's article this week. The great mass of the people of this world are not awake to the work that the Catholics are doing. Very few understand that the prophecies plainly teach that we are to have a great world power centered in the Catholic Church again. But when that time is reached, we will have come to the last bend in the road, and the end will be right upon the world. Do not cast this aside as a fanciful dream; think about it, and watch the developments. "Behold, Jehovah's hand is not shortened, that it can not save; neither His ear heavy, that it can not hear: but your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, so that He will not hear. For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness. None sueth in righteousness, and none pleadeth in truth: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; they conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity." Isa. 59:1-4. Sin is the only thing that limits or shortens the hand of God's power so that He can not save. If we give Him the opportunity, by surrendering our sins to Him, and allow Him to cleanse us, there is no limit to what He can and will do in and through us. Complete surrender of every sin is the gateway to the life of power over sin.
