Religious Liberty at the Minnesota Camp-Meeting

By K. C. R.

A DEEP interest was manifested in the religious liberty work at the Minnesota camp-meeting, the conference unanimously adopting the following resolution:—

“Whereas, There is a growing and wide-spread demand throughout the country for religious legislation, which threatens our civil and religious rights, and means the formation of the image to the beast; therefore,—

“Resolved, That we organize a strong and aggressive campaign in all our churches for the dissemination of the principles of religious liberty—

“1. By the circulation of the Liberty magazine.

“2. By a generous use of our religious liberty leaflets.

“3. By placing a copy of the forthcoming revised edition of ‘American State Papers’ in the hands of State legislators and other State officials.

“4. By utilizing the public press in presenting the principles of religious liberty.

“5. By conducting religious liberty institutes wherever practicable, for the purpose of educating our own people concerning these principles.

“6. By public lectures.”

The item relating to Liberty magazine was responded to in a practical way, a large number subscribing for the journal. There is no better way to keep in touch with this important department of our work than by being a constant reader of this magazine.

The evening following the last Sabbath of the meeting, we gave a stereopticon lecture on the subject of religious liberty to one of the largest congregations present during the meeting. Among those in attendance were resident ministers of the town and other prominent citizens.
