A Sanguine Prospect.

It was with reference to the contemplated work of the Inter-church Conference on Federation, recently organized in New York, that Dr. Power (Disciple) of Washington, D. C., said:

The same results may be attained in three years to-day that were attained in the three centuries that brought Christianity to the headship of the Roman Empire and of the world.

Well, the result of that consummation was the headship of the Papacy over the world. We have for years been showing from the prophetic Word that Rome would, in the very near future, be restored to more than her pristine power; that the "deadly wound" inflicted by the influence of the Reformation was in process of healing very rapidly. And now that the federation of so many "Protestant" churches has started on a line that must hasten such a condition, and enters upon the work in such a sanguine spirit, we confidently expect wonderful progress in "three years." The avowed aim of the federation to exercise a controlling influence in the government is evidence that it is in the same line that brought about the union of church and state in the former instance. Therefore when it shall have consummated its purpose, what will we have but an "image" to the former disastrous union? and will it not most certainly have that power's co-operation and do its work?
