Religious Liberty Literature and Appeals

By Editor

The double frontispiece in the February Protestant is reproduced from three Vasari frescos in the Vatican representing scenes in St. Bartholomew’s massacre. These and other Catholic testimonials regarding persecution should be preserved for future reference.

After selling 2,000 copies of the “Catholic Federation” number of Liberty, one of our faithful agents, an aged brother, ordered 4,000 more—all we had on hand. Are there not other religious liberty veterans who are ready to enter the field with this splendid weapon of freedom?

What about the fourth Pan-American Mass, attended by President Taft, in Washington, D. C.? For a report of this event, which, when published in the Christian Herald, brought forth a reply from “Father” Russell, of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, Washington, D. C., see the “Statue of Liberty” number of Liberty.

If you think that Rome has changed her mind about persecuting “heretics,” read the February or “Rome and the Heretics” and “Papal Persecutions” number of the Protestant Magazine, just off the press. Rome can not dispute the authorities quoted. For $1.00 we will mail 20 copies to any addresses you may furnish.

The only sure way to defeat the National Reformers and Lord’s Day Alliance people in their efforts to secure Sunday legislation, is to sow the country everywhere deep with Liberty, our Religious Liberty Leaflets (10 cents a set), and other religious liberty literature. See that your editors, councilmen, and State legislators are supplied with Liberty for one year. Special rate on 10 copies, one year, to 10 addresses, only $2.00.

This is perhaps the first time that a United States senator has consented to act as one of our Protestant Magazine agents. Under date of January 3, a prominent senator, whose name is well known in America, wrote thus to the Protestant Magazine: “I am in receipt of a letter from a constituent in [State] who desires a copy of your December number of the Protestant Magazine. I shall be very much obliged if you will send to my office said copy, together with bill for same.” Would it not be a good idea for you to write to your State and United States senators and representatives and respectfully call their attention to the current numbers of Liberty and the Protestant Magazine? Surely as constituents of these representative men every Seventh-day Adventist voter is entitled to a respectful hearing on the part of these representatives of the people. Mark some special article expressing your convictions and call their attention to the same.
