A Protestant Awakening

By Editor

The Herald of Gospel Liberty takes issue with the charge made by Roman Catholics that Catholicism is succeeding where Protestantism is failing. It believes that there is coming into the Protestant church a great awakening, at least with respect to the danger of Romanism. As quoted by the Herald and Presbyter of July 10, 1912, it says:—

In recent tilts between Roman Catholics and Protestants we have observed a tendency on the part of Catholics to declare the failure of Protestantism: by every innuendo and insinuation they seem to be saying all the while, "We are succeeding; the Protestants are failing." No doubt they wish it that way, but wishing it will not make it so. If Protestants will be true to their Heaven-given mission, all Catholicism can not destroy it; and we are glad to say that within the limits of the last year there has been a mighty awakening among the Protestants to the dangers of Catholicism. At this time the tide of opposition is rising, till it looks as if it may be a repetition of the resistance in other countries, if not as it was in the days of Luther.
