The German Reichstag has voted to readmit the Jesuits into Germany, although it is said the government will not admit the bill, and the vote will have no practical result. Dr. Lieber, a leader of the Catholic party, stated that although the Catholic Church required the services of the Jesuits in order to discharge its divine mission, yet it was not true that the Roman Curia was pursuing a policy inimical to Germany. He also maintained that in any event German Catholics would remain loyal to Germany. But Protestants take such assertions with a good degree of allowance.

A cablegram from Auckland, New Zealand, under date of November 30, says:—

The first elections in New Zealand under the female suffrage law resulted favorably to the government. The women voted in large numbers, supporting mainly the candidates who professed Christianity and favored temperance.

And that is all the Christianity that ever will be obtained by politics, the only kingdom of Christ which Miss Willard says must enter through politics, namely, “professed” Christianity, “professed” loyalty to Christ as king. And the biggest hypocrite among politicians will make the loudest profession.

The four numbers of the American Sentinel which contain the articles from the Catholic Mirror entitled “The Christian Sabbath,” contain much other matter which is equally good or better for circulation. We understand that the Sentinel Office, at 43 Bond Street, New York, has quite a number of complete sets of the Sentinels containing these articles, which will be sold at four cents a set. Address as above. Those who desire it in tract form may obtain it from any of our tract societies, or from the Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal., 18 West Fifth Street, Kansas City, Mo., or 43 Bond Street, New York.
