Persecution and Forced Conversion

The last news from Russia is that the persecution toward the Jews is greater than ever before; and yet the Moscow papers are said to boast that since the beginning of 1891, 20,000 Jews "have been converted" to the State church. This means that, to escape the intolerant persecutions, they have denied their faith. Thus it is that the American Sabbath Union and the National Reformers of America would convert the people of this country to the "American sabbath," Sunday. They ought to be the warmest friends of Russia. Why, oh, why will not our professed Christian churches adopt gospel methods, and by the power of Christ convert men?
