Roman Catholic PRINCIPLES will be taken under the care and protection of the state. This NATIONAL APOSTASY will speedily be followed by NATIONAL RUIN. The protest of Bible truth will be no longer tolerated by those who have not made the law of God their rule of life. Then will the voice be heard from the graves of martyrs, represented by the souls that John saw slain for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ which they held; then the prayer will ascend from every true child of God, "It is time for thee, Lord, to work: for they have made void thy law." {RH, June 15, 1897 par. 10}
