Liberty

Life and Health

Adapted to Present Public Needs

LIBERTY for the first quarter of 1910 comes forth with the freshness of the new year. Among many stirring themes, LIBERTY, in this number, contains a clear statement of the relation of Seventh-day Adventists to temperance and reform movements, as presented by Dr. D. H. Kress in a Reformers’ Conclave recently held in Washington, D. C.

The following is a partial outline of the contents of this number:—

THE FOUNDATION OF LIBERTY — The gift of God.

MARTIN LUTHER — His great service to mankind.

A GROUNDLESS FEAR — That liberty unrestricted might become fanatical.

A PROTESTANT CHRISTIAN NATION — The United States so defined by National Reformers.

ALL MEN CREATED EQUAL — The fundamental principle that has made our nation great.

THE INTOLERANT SPIRIT RISING — Manifested in the demand for Sunday laws without exemptions.

THE INJUSTICE OF SUNDAY LAWS — Wherein they are inequitable and wherein their enforcement works injustice.

PERSECUTION A GOOD THING — The opinion of a noted chief justice—persecution producing the highest regard for law.

THE GENEALOGY OF SUNDAY LAWS — Illustrated—How Sunday laws were handed down; Sunday legislation traced to its origin.

THERE IS BLAME SOMEWHERE — Protestants condemning public schools because they do not teach religion, and Catholics lamenting because their young men are going to destruction, notwithstanding they have been educated in schools where religion is strictly taught.

RELIGION AND SCIENCE — Portrayed in the discussion of “The Creation Week,” “Darwin or the Bible,” and “The Reliability of the Book.”

TEMPERANCE — As revealed in the discussion of “Liquor and Poverty,” “The Flag Over the Saloon,” “Lincoln’s Stirring Words,” and “Prohibition the Only Solution.”

PUBLIC OFFICE BY RELIGIOUS TEST — Can a religious sect, according to the Constitution, demand the patronage of the government in proportion to its numbers?

A CHRISTIAN FEATURE EXPRESSED — Through the celebration of last Thanksgiving day in Washington, D. C., as an international affair, under the direction of the Catholic Church.

DISCHARGING AN OBLIGATION TO THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH — The appointment of Mr. Kerens ambassador to Austria as an obligation the President was under because of her support in his election.

FOR GOD AND LIBERTY IN THE DAYS OF OLD — Portraying, illustrating, and comparing the wicked practises in the persecution of sincere and conscientious men of old, with similar conditions and circumstances now present.

A CENTURY’S RETROSPECT OF RELIGIOUS LIBERTY WORK — Tracing in a short, concise, interesting, and practical manner the different acts, with dates, directed against the principles of American liberty, from 1810 to the present time.

SHALL WE HAVE A NATIONAL SUNDAY LAW? — A plain statement of the principles jeopardized in Sabbath legislation, the errors in teachings and practises resulting in enforced religious observance; the change of the Sabbath, and the evil results.
