The Meaning of the European War

By Editor

The Sick Man of the East Committing Suicide

SUCH is the title of the first article in the new First Quarter, 1915, issue of Liberty, just off the press. This is the “European War,” “Peace Movement,” “National Sunday Law,” and “Church and State” number.

Do not ask us to begin your subscription with the previous or “Lincoln” and “Armageddon” number. The edition is completely exhausted. Agents have been ordering heavily, and many of our conferences have sent in large lists of subscriptions in behalf of their State senators and representatives.

Every one sending in four yearly subscriptions accompanied by $1.00 will receive, in addition to the four, his or her own yearly subscription free. Five yearly subscriptions, to five different addresses, for only $1.00.

This new number is profusely illustrated with European war pictures, and is one of the strongest documents ever issued by the denomination. The trend of the articles will be seen by glancing over a few of the titles:—

“Significance of the Sunday Law Decision by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals,” by Chas. M. Snow, shows the inconsistency of judges in separation-of-church-and-state America in appealing to Roman and British or union-of-church-and-state governmental laws or jurisprudence.

“Circuit Court of Oregon Declares Sunday Laws Unconstitutional,” by C. S. Longacre.

“Police Regulation and Sunday Observance,” by S. B. Horton.

“Bryan’s Plowshares and the No-More-War Policy,” including photo reproduction of plowshare presented by Mr. Bryan to ambassadors of the nations, on which he had engraved these words:—

“THEY SHALL BEAT THEIR SWORDS INTO PLOWSHARES.” ISAIAH 2:4.”

The photograph is the exact size of the little “plowshare” paper weights that were made from old swords, by order of Mr. Bryan.

“The People of California Reject Sunday Legislation,” by Frank A. Coffin.

“The ‘Submerged Issue’ in New York Politics,” by K. C. Russell.

“Sunday Law Agitation in the State of Washington,” by W. F. Martin.

“Who Shall Teach Christianity?” by J. N. Quinn.

“An International Movement to Christianize Political Governments,” by Claude E. Holmes.

In this number the editors have scored new points in the legal aspects of Sunday laws. This number should be widely distributed among attorneys everywhere. Send $1.00 for 20 or $2.00 for 50 copies at once, to sell or to give away.

This number will be mailed by the publishers to 20 different names and addresses for $1.00. Send in your lists today.
