The New Issue of Liberty

By Editor

THERE were never more rapid or striking developments in the realm of politics and religion than are taking place at the present time, and never before was there so great need of a strong, courageous warning of what these things mean. The people are being led by smooth utterances of the Roman Church to believe that it has none but the most peaceful designs upon this country and its institutions, and professed Protestants are deprecating the differences that now exist between Protestantism and Romanism, while they plan for the re-establishment of a system that can but lead a blindfolded church back to the fold of Rome. These ominous conditions, and these plans and purposes, are fully set forth in the issue of Liberty just off the press. Every home in the land ought to receive its visits, and every Seventh-day Adventist ought to be a distributor of this journal in his own neighborhood. The present issue deals with the fundamental principles of Protestantism and of this nation, and defines our position in the matter of religious liberty. The Federal Council of Churches is treated by the editor, its purposes set forth, and the evil result of its success faithfully pointed out. There are many other important articles contained in this issue, of which we can not here speak in detail. This number of Liberty contains a new department dealing with the attacks of scientists and higher critics upon the Word of God, which, we believe, will be of great help to our workers, as well as to many members of the popular churches who are continually assailed by pulpit infidelity. Read the present number, and if at all interested in this message or in the principles of religious liberty, you will want a part in getting it out among the people.
