The reformation of the 16th century, which gave birth to Protestantism, was based on scripture. It gave back to the world the Bible, it taught the scriptures, it exposed the errors and corruption of Rome by the use of the sword of the Spirit. It applies the prophecies, and accepts their practical guidance. Such Reformation work requires to be too much forgotten. This generation is dangerously latitudinarian - indifferent to truth and error on points on which scripture is tremendously decided and absolutely clear. The duty of diffusing information on the true character and history of "Romanism and the Reformation" is one which presses on God's faithful people tn these days. The apathy of many as to the present crisis only increase the danger, and intensifies the call for clear and cogent teaching suited to counteract the Romeward tendencies of these times.
