THE WORK AND THE WORKERS

By Editor

REMEMBER you get a year's subscription free if you send in four yearly subscriptions for the Liberty Magazine, with $1.00. Single subscription is 35 cents.

THAT the Liberty Magazine is molding public sentiment among officials in high places has been made very apparent lately. Two judges of State supreme courts who have voluntarily subscribed for the Liberty Magazine, and have expressed their thanks for its visits in the past, have declared the Sunday laws in their States unconstitutional. Leading citizens of Prince Georges County, Maryland, have appealed to the Religious Liberty Department to assist them in launching a campaign in the State of Maryland for the repeal of the Sunday blue laws. Six Sunday bills before Congress and scores of Sunday bills before the State legislatures have been defeated by men who are constant readers of the Liberty Magazine and stanch supporters of our principles. The editor is receiving most interesting letters from judges, lawyers, senators, representatives, and ministers, which express high appreciation of the principles advocated in the journal.

DURING the first twelve days of the March Protestant Magazine campaign, 18,625 copies of this great "Congressional Free Press Hearing" number were sent out.

FOR 15 cents in stamps the publishers will mail 10 copies of the Free Press Extra of the Protestant Magazine to as many different addresses. Get your church missionary society to raise $15.00 to have this Extra mailed by the publishers to 1,000 legislators, Congressmen, judges, editors, attorneys, councilmen, teachers, and other molders of public opinion. Help to teach the teachers of men.

A PROMINENT attorney of Oakland, Cal., writes the following illuminating letter to the Protestant Magazine:

"I have been receiving the Protestant Magazine for the last four months, and have occasionally glanced it over, and I herewith request that you discontinue sending it to me. Inclosed you will find stamped and addressed envelope, in which I hope you will inclose the name and address of the person who sent in the subscription for me. I am surprised, at this advanced stage of development, that one religion would use a magazine for the main purpose of condemning another by the publication of articles which appeal to and have their force with the ignorant and uninformed. Discontinue sending the magazine to me at once, and kindly send me the name of the person who sent in the subscription for me."

It is needless to say that we HAVE NOT sent this Roman Catholic gentleman the name and address of the giver of this subscription. We always forward information of this kind to those donating the subscription, and leave it to them for disposition. So do not hesitate to send in subscriptions for either Romanists or Protestants. Five for six months will cost you only $1.50.

THE full report of the hearing on the postal bills printed in the March issue of the Protestant Magazine has proved to be very interesting to many readers. Elder J. W. Christian, field evangelist of the Central Union Conference, reports his experience as follows:

"I received the Protestant Magazine the evening after the Sabbath and sat down to read. I was so interested in its contents that I did not lay the magazine down until I had read it from cover to cover. May the Lord richly bless you in the open warfare you are waging against the efforts to deny us our liberties and rights."

EDITOR D. S. PHELAN, of the Western Watchman (Roman Catholic), says in his issue of February 25: "The bill introduced in Congress by Mr. Fitzgerald . . . needs careful study; for, if enforced, it would exclude the Watchman from the mails. We have love, sympathy, and respect for Protestants, but only withering scorn for their religion." In his paper for Dec. 24, 1908, however, he said: "The church has persecuted. Only a tyro in church history will deny that. . . . We have always defended the persecution of the Huguenots, and the Spanish Inquisition. . . . When she thinks it good to use physical force, she will use it. . . . But will the Catholic Church give bond that she will not persecute at all? Will she guarantee absolute freedom and equality of all churches and all faiths? The Catholic Church gives no bonds for her good behavior." Should not the citizens of the United States read and circulate the Protestant Magazine? Send 25 cents for 5 copies of the March number, or $1.00 for 20, or $2.00 for 50.
