Religious Liberty Notes

ELDER K. C. RUSSELL is at present visiting the camp-meetings of the Lake Union Conference, and sends in to the office the cheering information that he has secured many additional subscriptions to our religious liberty magazine, Liberty.
THE first elected president of Portugal is Manuel de Arriaga, who says that his purpose will be not to advance the interests of any party, but to conciliate all factions, and to place the government above the intrigue and differences of politics. He admits that the Portuguese Republic is on trial, not only before its own people but before the world.
A SPECIAL to the Washington Post, August 22, from Asheville, N. C., announces that two large hotels at Montreat, founded by the late John S. Huyler, of New York, have declared their intention of refusing guests who arrive on Sunday. The despatch goes on to say: “The action is for the purpose of furthering sabbath observance, and preventing travel on Sunday. Montreat, with its thousands of acres of mountain parks, hotels, and cottages, was sold by Mr. Huyler several years ago to the Southern Assembly, a corporation of the Southern Presbyterian Church.”
THE temperance cause in Maine is witnessing a very lively campaign at the present time. On September 11 a vote will be taken by the people on the question of constitutional prohibition. It will be decided on that day by the voting population of Maine whether the State is to remain in the column of State-wide prohibition States, or resort to statutory legislation in behalf of local option. In this campaign, our people are taking an active and consistent part, which consists largely of distributing literature on the subject of temperance, at public meetings. The Maine Conference designs placing at least fifty thousand copies of the Temperance Instructor in that State. We have sent to the 130 newspapers of Maine an article on the temperance question, with the hope of securing additional news on the right side of this important movement in the matter of State prohibition.
