Scripture can interpret; but by Church we do not understand the Pope and the bishops with their pointed hats, nor the Protestant little parsons with their choir-robes and birettas, but all truly believing Christians, of whom, to be sure, one has more and another less the gift of interpretation, but of whom every one has so much light of the Holy Ghost that he can judge well concerning the articles of the Christian faith from God's Word.

The Kissing of the Altar.

The Roman priests, as is well known, kiss the altar at the celebration of Mass. It is remarkable how they interpret this ceremony. Father Martin of Cochem says in his "Myrrhengarten," published at Cologne in 1701: "When the priest kisses the altar, it signifies how Christ kissed the false Judas." But from the holy Evangelists we see that Christ did not kiss Judas, but that He let Himself be kissed by Judas. He therefore says: "Betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?" Luke 22, 48. Fiat applicatio! that is, let the reader make the application himself.

Idolatry.

When Mr. Kossuth was greeted on the 13th of March of this year by the German citizens of St. Louis through Mr. H. Börnstein, the editor of the "Anzeiger des Westens," the speaker used, among others, the following words: "And it is not only the Hungarian people, Mr. Governor!... which now, even under oppression and tyranny, has no other object of its love, its thoughts, its dreams and hopes than: — Lajos Kossuth, its father, its leader, its God, — nay! not only the Hungarian people, but all other peoples of the earth are with you." — A more blasphemous flattery we have hardly ever read. Whom does it not remind here of Acts 12, 22?

Therefore it is indeed a shameful thing about the world; whether it be pious or wicked, it is good for nothing anywhere. For it will either be altogether an open devil with evil works; or will itself be God with good works.
Luther.

Wit without sound reason is worse than none at all; it only spreads more sail, to hasten toward a rock.
Ed. Young.
