Religious Liberty Notes

The new religious liberty leaflet, “Do You Wish Congress to Prescribe Your Religion?” is now ready for use.
The Hartford (Conn.) Times says the public resentment against the enforcement of the Connecticut Sunday law of 1792, as has been obtaining for the last few weeks, is growing, and styles a recent Sunday there as “the bluest” in fifty-four years.
The young men's class of the First Presbyterian church of Washington, D. C., have written Chairman Smith of the House Committee on the District of Columbia, that they “heartily approve the provisions contained in the Johnston Sunday bill now pending in Congress.”
A recent number of the Mountain View (Cal.) Leader contained a two-column address of Elder W. M. Healey, which had been given in one of the public halls of the city. The Leader says the large audience was made up of people of every shade of religious and political opinion.
Rev. A. P. Doyle, of the Apostolic Mission House (Catholic), of Washington, D. C., gave a lecture in the Carnegie Library of this city, February 14, on “Art in the Catacombs,” in which he sought to show from the art and symbolism displayed in the catacombs “the striking similitude between the doctrines of the Catholic Church then and the [Catholic] Church twenty centuries later,” and thus “how well the faith of Christ has been preserved” by this church “through the ages.”
Sunday night, February 13, Elder W. A. Colcord spoke in Memorial Church, Washington, D. C., on “Not in Rome Only.” After commenting on the recent Fairbanks-Vatican incident and the intolerant spirit inherent in that religious system known as the Papacy, he showed that the same spirit was being manifested by Protestants toward Seventh-day Adventists in the United States, Canada, and elsewhere to-day. Reports of the address appeared in three of the Washington papers the following day. In two of these papers the statement was made that Archbishop Ireland, who was in the city at the time, had noticed what had been said at the Adventist church.
