Relations of France to the Vatican.
By Editor
In "Our Rome Letter" addressed to the Western Watchman of August 8 occurs this paragraph: "The attention of Europe is presently engaged by the efforts of well-wishers and as lovers of the Holy See to induce the government of France to try and reestablish diplomatic relations with the Vatican. For just as the Masonic 'government' of Portugal finds that a rupture with 'Rome' spells disaster to the influence of the republic in foreign parts, so do patriotic Frenchmen see what a disaster to the tricolor has been the severance of the ties that bound to Peter's throne the eldest daughter of the church." The foregoing is nothing more than one among the many evidences which show the way in which the Papacy is working to create sentiment that will put her at the head of the world. She would try to have all the nations feel that they can not have power and influence unless she is allowed to place over them her hand of guidance and control. And this power will yet be accorded the Papacy by all the nations of earth, and the time is not far in the future when it will be done. The prophecies of the book of Revelation make that very plain, and the nation that is to take the lead in giving this power to the pope is the United States. Watch the unfolding of events, and see how closely they fit into these prophecies that we have so often presented in detail through our columns.
