Principles of Religious Liberty
By Editor
We call the attention of our readers to the article beginning on the third page, and our Bible reading on page 7. The first calls attention to the great principles of liberty embodied in Christianity and contained also in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. The second presents in a Bible reading scriptures which clearly teach the same great principles of religious liberty and absolute non-interference in matters of faith on the part of the civil power. These principles are needed to-day just as truly as they were when this country was founded. There is one thing of which the true patriot ought always to be jealous, and that is his liberties; and this liberty ought not to be looked upon as a selfish matter, but liberty for the other fellow, for he does not believe in true religious liberty who asks liberty for himself alone. The man who believes in true religious liberty, will demand it for his bitterest opponent.
