PRESERVE LIBERTY OF CONSCIENCE

By Editor

Speaking of Religious Legislation in America the Spirit of Prophecy says:

“We are not doing the will of God if we sit in quietude, doing nothing to preserve liberty of conscience.”

Let Us Work

“Fervent, effectual prayer should be ascending to heaven that this calamity may be deferred until we can accomplish the work; and then let us work in harmony with our prayers.”

“Let us show the people where we are in prophetic history, . . . awakening the world to a sense of the value of the privileges of religious liberty so long enjoyed.”—“Testimonies,” Vol. V, pages 712, 716.
