institution which directly contradicts the fourth commandment, is yet to be made a test by the two-horned beast. And then the fearful warning from God declares the penalty of bowing to the beast and his image. They shall drink the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out without mixture into the cup of His indignation. 1T 223.2 No name which we can take will be appropriate but that which accords with our profession and expresses our faith and marks us a peculiar people.
