Testimonials Concerning “Liberty Magazine”

The editor of the Apostolic Review says: “Received a sample of the Liberty Magazine. It is very edifying and instructive. You certainly sound true on liberty.”

Elder E. W. Farnsworth, the vice president of the Pacific Union Conference, says: “I just received a copy of the Liberty Magazine. It is grand. I think you are doing a good work with the Liberty. Wish it had a million readers.”

Elder Charles Thompson, president of the Northern Union, says: “I very much appreciate the last issue of the Liberty Magazine. I think we are certainly sowing in fertile soil when we place this copy in the hands of the newspaper editors. I am sure that many will be influenced to write on the questions discussed in the magazine, and its influence will spread as the waves from a pebble cast into the water.”

C. A. Whitefield, a public surveyor of Virginia City, Va., writes: “I find your most valued Liberty Magazine coming to me at certain intervals. I appreciate the noble efforts you are making in behalf of religious, political, and personal liberty, which was so nobly set forth by our forefathers. Keep on preaching this everlasting doctrine without apology, and it is to be hoped that your efforts will be crowned with the glory you so richly deserve. Plead for a thorough discussion of our rights through a free press. It is still to be hoped that our eternal vigilance in defense of the principles set forth in the Declaration of Independence will safeguard our natural rights. I am not writing this for publication, but only to encourage you in your most wonderful undertaking. Do not take time to acknowledge this scribbling, but keep on hitting.”

Edith Shepard, Missionary Volunteer secretary of Northern Illinois Conference, writes: “Perhaps just a note from Northern Illinois would be encouraging to you. Your letter informing us of the Ryan bill before the State legislature, and of the Liberty Magazine which would deal with this and other equally important subjects, came to my desk a week ago. The situation and splendid opportunity urged me to action. I asked the Lord to help me present the matter to our Missionary Volunteers in Chicago with such a spirit that they would send one thousand copies of Liberty to prominent officers and ministers of our city. Would you know the result? I visited seven of the societies, and our order stands at 1,098. We passed the goal. Thank God for our wide-awake, loyal Volunteers. We ask you to breathe a prayer that the Liberty Magazine may reach many honest hearts in the great city of Chicago.” Are there not some other wide-awake Volunteers who will band together in our large cities and duplicate this remarkable missionary feat?
