The Last of the Inquisition

IN the last issues of both the World Outlook, the organ of the Mission Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and The Bible in the World, the official organ of the British and Foreign Bible Society, a full page is devoted to a statement regarding the proclaiming of religious liberty by the government of Peru. The Outlook title is, “The Last of the Inquisition,” and the first paragraph reads: “Enraged at the success of a medical missionary near Lake Titicaca, a Roman Catholic bishop took the police out to the mission, had over thirty men and women arrested, tied to a long rope, and marched through the streets to the common jail.” Our people are very familiar with this recent mission history, and recognize at once that reference is made to the labors of Brother and Sister F. H. Stahl, through whose loving interest for the Indians, God has wrought this marvelous change in this hitherto intolerant country.
