Prophetic Interpretation and Its Errors

It is a vicious system of prophetic interpretation which fixes a hypothetic fulfilment and then demands that the prophecy should meet it. Men thought that the wonderful career of Napoleon must be a subject of prophecy, and therefore he was made the great antichrist, and men saw in his name the mystic letters which make up the 666 of Rev. 13:18. But Napoleon died. He swept over portions of Europe like a storm, but he did not materially change conditions, and unthinking people thought the prophecy itself discredited because the interpretation failed.

The Seriousness of Forgetfulness

"I forgot" is exceedingly serious sometimes. It meant on the part of a conductor in Oakland, Cal., the other day, the wreck of two trolley-cars, the injury of fifty persons, nine seriously, and the killing of two. Attention to duty is always demanded.

Building Character on Truth

Character is so important that he who builds into it aught but truth, is a traitor to God and his own eternal interests.

No Compromise With Sin

With the living Christian there can be no compromise with sin, no yielding of principle to policy.

Truth Over Expediency

Not what is expedient, but what is truth.

The Accession Oath and Catholicism

By Editor

That part of the accession oath of the ruler of Great Britain referring to the Catholic Church should be abolished. This is not saying whether its averment is true or false; it may all be true; but such a thing should have no place in the oath of a civil ruler. That is the ground of our opinion. Whatever Catholics believe or say should not affect the matter.
