What the President of the Republic of Cuba Thinks of “Liberty”

By Editor

REPUBLICA DE CUBA PRESIDENCIA

Havana, Cuba, September 3rd, 1914.

Dear Sir:-

I am in receipt of your esteemed favor of the 24th ultimo, and in compliance with your request to express my views on civil and religious freedom, I wish to state the following:

Religious liberty is the true basis of civil and political liberty and the best guarantee of peace and prosperity of the nations. Where conscience is not free; where mankind cannot freely worship the Supreme Creator in accordance with the credence they profess, it is impossible to enjoy personal freedom, nor freedom of the home nor of patrimony. The Liberty Magazine, devoted to the defense of these essential principles of civilization has my most heartfelt sympathies.

With the assurance of my most distinguished consideration, I remain, dear Sir, Yours very truly, President of the Republic of Cuba.

Mr. C. S. Longacre, Editor The Liberty Magazine, Washington, D. C.

What the President of the Republic of Cuba Thinks of “Liberty”

These words of President Menocal ring true. Other presidents and people of influence should have the privilege of reading Liberty and studying the noble religious liberty principles it advocates. “I will also give thee for a light . . . that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. . . . Kings shall see and arise.” Isa. 49: 6, 7. Let the light shine into the hearts of kings, queens, princes, presidents, chancellors, ambassadors, legislators, governors, generals, admirals, mayors, councilmen, educators, authors, teachers, clergymen, financiers, physicians, attorneys, sheriffs, wardens, editors, captains of industry, and all other molders of public opinion. Become a teacher of the teachers of the people. Let Liberty be your silent textbook. For $2.00 we will send this quarterly magazine to ten of these molders of public opinion for one year. Or $1.00 will pay for five yearly subscriptions. Send the names if you have them; if not, ask us to supply them. There is no better number to start these subscriptions with than the “Lincoln,” “Armageddon,” and “Church and State” number, just off the press. Send $2.00 for 50 or $1.00 for 20 copies of this truly great number. Address your tract society. Do it now. This “Lincoln” number is going fast.
