| Summary: | In canceling his subscription to the Biblical World, a gentleman gives as his reason that he does "not care to pay for a publication which admits to its pages palpable and biting injustices, as may be seen in every issue of the Biblical World, against a large and to be honored following of perfectly sincere, devout, and highly intelligent men and women of the church who are pleased to look with glad hope to the second coming of their, and our, Savior, Jesus Christ." He closes his thoroughly good-tempered discussion with this question, "Why may not the Premillennialists be let alone to enjoy 'that blessed hope' which gives to their longing souls so much comfort and joy while they wait for their Lord, even though He delay his coming?" The question is appropriate, and our reply is immediate. We are not engaged in a religious controversy, but are endeavoring to save the faith of thousands of men and women in Christianity. We do not mean to let anything be published in these pages which is contrary to the spirit of the Master. We do believe, however, that discussion of premillenarianism is necessary, for in our opinion the present propaganda threatens the influence of the church among men and women who are to be counted upon for social reconstruction. |
