Religious Liberty Notes

WE are in receipt of a new tract entitled, “Sunday Laws. Whence Are They? What Their Aim?” which is being used by Elder C. H. Keslake in his campaign in St. John’s, Newfoundland, against Sunday legislation.

Representatives of the Lord’s Day Alliance at St. John’s, Newfoundland, are classing Seventh-day Adventists with saloon-keepers and gamblers. Such persons should be informed as to our true attitude on the question of the liquor traffic.

The Joplin (Mo.) News Herald of July 3, contained over a column report of addresses on religious liberty, which were delivered on the evening of July 2 in the court-house at that place. The lecturers, Brother and Sister John S. Wightman, were listened to by a large and intelligent audience. They are touring the State of Missouri, speaking on the subject of religious liberty.

The editor of the Des Moines (Iowa) Register wrote, among other things, concerning the deliberations of the recent National Republican Convention, the following: “It is interesting to know what men are saying. One person will assert that Taft is a Unitarian, and is on intimate and close terms with the powers of the Catholic Church; therefore the nominee for vice-president must be Hughes, a Baptist, or Dolliver, a Methodist. They assert that tickets must be balanced as to religion as well as politics.”
