Bible as sufficiently accurate for it's
purpose. Rome however does not
claim the Bible as her guide or even
standard of gospel teaching, but
places the whole spiritual direction
OF her affairs under a Pope and
claim for him infallibility, but worse
still the blasphemous authority Of a.
Pope to reign in the place Of the Son
OF God. When it is known that the
Pope is selected by the most Satanic
organization the world has ever
known (the Jesuits), very little
should be expected Of religious pow
er from such a source 1t has been
shown that the Roman church,
man-led institution, naturally wand
ers farther and farther away from
the teachings Of Christ as years pass
on, and naturally also the teachings
OF Professionalism (the original Chris
t1an church, and Romanism grow
wider Ind wider apart Christ and
his Apostles both taught that many
false teachers would arise after they
were gone, but by their fruit we
Shall know them, therefore in justice
to Rome we should examine the
record Of Rome to see if she should
be classed as a false teacher First
examining the record OF Protestant
ism to Judge from her fruit if she
also should be rated as false After
Professionalism became strong enough
to assert it's independence from
Rome, she straightway began her
evangelism work as commanded by
Christ, viz, go ye into all the
world and preach the gospel AS
soon as printing presses were
started, the Bible was among the
first books printed. Copies were Of
Tered free to Spain and France. At
this time, these two countries were
leaders among the nations. England
on the other hand was barely
known, and considered as insignifi-
cant. Spain rejected the offer with
scorn, and from that day began her
downward drop. France insulted
the copy sent to them by tying it to
the tail Of donkey, and dragging
it through the streets of Paris.
From that time her troubles began,
eliminating in the bIO0diest period
of her history, the French Revolu-
ton, itself followed by the devastat-
ing wars of Napoleon which drained
the nations vitality to exhaustion,
England gladly received the Bible,
and began at once to rise rapidly
until she became in reality as we'll
as boast, the mistress of the seas.
The long continued power of Eng
land existing to this day, and the
lowered standing of Spain and
France, shows the power of Light
over Darkness. Where ever the
British flag flies, freedom is assured
to men to worship God in spirit and
in truth. England, after her enlight-
eminent, has spread civilization all
over the world, and has carried out
to all nations the Gospel of Saliva
ton through faith in Christ, for
"there is none other name (not even
pope given under Heaven among
men whereby we must be saved"
Wherever the Bible with its message
of freedom in "Whosoever WILL"
has gone there the light in darkness
has advanced the cause of civiliza-
ton, so that we find Protestant ma
tions such as England, Germany, and
the United States the greatest ma
tons in the world, while Italy,
France and Spain are or rather have
been up to recent years, in a rapid
decline. Comparatively recently,
even in our own day a hopeful sign
is witnessed in France shaking loose
the letters of Rome, and starting to
advance whist Italy, the birthplace
