Religious Liberty Notes

BROTHER W. R. POHLE, Religious Liberty Secretary for the Chesapeake Conference, writes that the Sunday question is being agitated in Baltimore over the arrest and release of some of the barbers of the city.

Fourteen thousand copies of the Christian Endeavor number of Liberty were distributed in Seattle, Wash., during the Christian Endeavor Convention held recently at that place. One brother has placed twenty-two hundred among lawyers and business men of the place since the convention.

During the recent Christian Endeavor Convention at Seattle, Wash., one sister went onto the streets with Liberty, and in a few minutes sold forty-five copies.

After a lecture delivered by Elder K. C. Russell on the subject of religious liberty, at the Arkansas camp-meeting, July 25, a collection amounting to about twenty-five dollars was taken up for the religious liberty work.

A brother from Florida, speaking of our magazine Liberty, writes as follows: “I wish it could be in the home of every county officer and preacher in this State. You will find me a hearty colaborer in this line. I am paying for Liberty to be sent to six of the leading families in my neighborhood.”

Writing concerning the distribution of Liberty at Seattle, Wash., during the Christian Endeavor Convention held at that place July 10-15, Elder A. J. Breed says: “I must say I have never seen a more interested body of workers than those engaged in placing Liberty in the hands of the people.”

A sister in Georgia sending in an order for one hundred copies of Liberty, writes as follows: “We are in the midst of a vigorous Sunday crusade, headed by the ministers of the city. A good many have been fined, but not Adventists. We are very few in number here, and all women except three; but we want to do all that we can to give the light. Let us have the magazines as early as possible.”

The following item appeared in the Washington Times recently: “It is positively announced to-day that the Lynchburg-Norfolk Sunday ball game will be stopped if an effort is made tomorrow afternoon to pull it off. . . . Throughout the day the ministers of Norfolk and Portsmouth have been busy with plans to prevent the game; they appealed direct to the officials to prevent it.” W. A. C.
