Current Mention

— The announcement is made that this year’s anarchist congress will be held in Amsterdam, July 26.

— Imprisonment for debt has more than doubled in England during the past twenty years, 11,427 debtors having been sent to prison in 1905.

— Guayaquil, Ecuador, experienced an earthquake shock June 1, which caused the bells to ring and stopped clocks, but owing to peculiar construction of houses did no material damage.

— Several thousand people in attendance at the Jamestown Exposition, on May 21 witnessed a successful aeronautic ascension. The air-ship was under perfect control, and sailed around over the buildings and grounds for twenty minutes.

— The Waters-Pierce Oil Company of Missouri has been adjudged guilty of violating the anti-trust laws of Texas, convicted of having entered the State by fraud, and fined $1,623,900. The trial consumed three weeks in the District Court, and its conclusion is merely the beginning of the long legal struggle.

— St. Anthony’s Italian Catholic church of Youngstown, Ohio, has been completely looted of all furniture by the congregation, who have seceded from the Catholic Church, because the bishop ordered the priest to vacate the pastorate. They will build a new church for their priest, and install him with the effects taken.

— The latest proposition in the way of church entertainment was recently made by a Baptist minister of Philadelphia. He suggested to his congregation that the church should be surmounted by a roof garden, where a vaudeville show could be held in warm weather in order to attract men, women, and children to gospel services. Those present manifested their approval by subscribing $12,000 for the project.

— During the disorder incident to the labor trouble of San Francisco, a Japanese restaurant and a bath-house were attacked by the mobs. These incidents have aroused strong anti-American feeling in Japan, and the popular press of that country is demanding an apology from the United States government and reparation for damages. Latest reports indicate that as private individuals the sufferers from violence will sue the municipality of San Francisco, and so relieve the federal government of any complications with Japan. Yet the matter seemed sufficiently critical for France to tender to the United States her good offices in securing a complete understanding between the United States and Japan.

— Earthquake shocks were felt June 5 in San Francisco, in Pau, France, and in Guayaquil, Ecuador. No damage is reported.

— Prof. Adolph Miethe, of Germany, the inventor of the process of photographing colors, has succeeded in producing large artificial diamonds.

— Eighteen hundred persons have professed conversion as the result of four weeks’ meetings held in Petersburg, Va., by Evangelist George C. Cates, of Louisville, Ky.

— The authorities of Allentown, Pa., are investigating what seems to have been an attempt to burn the city. Four fires in three different sections were discovered almost simultaneously June 5.

— The Russian Duma seemed to be imperiled last week because of a resolution introduced condemning terrorism. If the Duma should condemn violence, it would lose the confidence of the people; but if it approved, the government would have ground for dismissal. The resolution was tabled by a vote of 219 to 146.

— The Irish bill recently introduced into the British House of Commons was unanimously condemned by a large representative convention held in Dublin, May 21. The prevailing sentiment of the meeting was home rule or nothing. In view of the opposition to this bill by the Irish people, and the antagonism of some members of the cabinet to granting any further concessions, it is not likely that this measure will be brought forward during the present session of Parliament.

— Unrepressed disorder exists openly in nine counties in the south and west of Ireland. The people demand that the vast grazing ranches shall be divided among them. Numerous prisoners charged with driving the cattle from the ranches have not been brought to trial, which has encouraged the peasants in their demand. There have been some clashes between tenants and peasants; and many graziers have within the past few weeks surrendered their lands to the demands of the people.

— The president of the National Association of Manufacturers called upon the members, recently assembled in annual convention at New York, for a fund of a million and a half dollars to be expended in fighting industrial oppression during the next three years. For years the individual members of the association have been against the unions, and the last president, David M. Parry, was a leader in the anti-union agitation, but this is the first time the association has considered the project of raising a large fund to fight the unions.

— The anti-dynastic outbreak in southeastern China has not been suppressed, and in several small places where the rebels have been victorious, the officials have been put to death or compelled to commit suicide. An engagement between the rebels and troops from Canton on the last day of May resulted in the death of 600 rebels; but although repulsed, they reassembled their forces. The center of the disturbance is Chao-chow, the district leased by Germany, which fact may result in German intervention by force, with the consequent assembling of the forces of other powers that are mutually pledged to preserve the territorial entity of the Chinese empire.

Presbyterians Vote in Favor of Blue-Laws

By W. A. C.

Adopt Report Adverse to Sunday Sports, Sunday Newspapers, and Sunday Operations of Railroads. Fail to Taboo Sunday Shops. Latter Action not Regarded as Dignified.

UNDER the above head and subheads the Ohio State Journal, of May 18, 1907, publishes the following:—

“The first business session of the one hundred and nineteenth Presbyterian General Assembly was marked by action tantamount to a declaration in favor of the ‘blue-laws’ regarding Sabbath observance. According to the action of the assembly, expressed in the adoption of the report of the committee on Sabbath observance, Sunday newspapers should be tabooed, and Sunday sports are anathema marenatha. An effort to bring about the boycott of shopkeepers who do not observe Sunday was rejected on the ground that such action would be ‘undignified and irritating.’”

“The other two questions of special import given consideration were church co-operation and union evangelism. Neither of these excited the discussion caused by the question of Sunday observance.”

“The three matters of special report were those on church co-operation and union, Sabbath observance, and evangelism. The first topic did not arouse either opposition or special congratulation, as practically all matters pending touching the principles involved were in a state of suspense.”

“The Sabbath observance report brought out the usual debate between the radicals and liberals on the attitude of the church. The committee insisted that the outlook was optimistic, yet certain features of the desecration of the Sabbath were darker than ever, especially as regarding the attitude of the leaders of society as to sports and other amusements on the Lord’s day. The resolutions adopted committed the church to a most advanced form of observance, especially as regards the ministers and members in participating in games or sports, taking and reading Sunday newspapers, and acting so as to prevent others from having the Sabbath rest. The recommendation of the committee to only patronize on weekdays shopkeepers who observed the Sabbath was rejected on the ground that this was boycotting, and was undignified and irritating.”

‘It will be well to remember that the one hundred and nineteenth Presbyterian General Assembly, held at Columbus, Ohio, on May 17, 1907, decided against boycotting “shopkeepers who do not observe Sunday,” on the ground that to do so would be “undignified and irritating.” Not only so, but they might also have said that it would be unscriptural and un-Christlike. But the fact that the boycott was proposed in this assembly as a means of bringing about Sunday observance, is worthy of note, for the Scriptures have told us that this is one

of the very means by which this “mark of the beast,” the Sunday sabbath, is to be forced upon mankind in the last days. “And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.” W. A. C.

Christian Liberty

Religious Liberty Notes

By W. A. C.

REPORTING to the Atlantic Union Gleaner, for Maine, Sister Eliza Morton says: “The agitation of the Sunday question is so great in Lewiston that it may be thought wise to take measures to have a special mass-meeting there in the interests of liberty.”

Brother C. T. Redfield, writing from Mansfield, Ohio, says that the question of Sunday legislation is a live one there. He further states that one of the local editors is very favorable to our views, and is anxious to publish good, live articles on this question. All such opportunities should be improved by placing well-prepared articles in such editors’ hands.

The Catholic Mirror, of Baltimore, Md., quotes the following from the Pittsburg Observer, without comment: “All unnecessary work in the iron mills in this city and vicinity will soon have to stop. If the Christian(?) proprietors of them do not yield to friendly persuasion, they will be prosecuted as lawbreakers.” Pittsburg is the center of the National Reform element.

Brother William C. Young, the religious liberty secretary of British Columbia, in a letter addressed to Liberty, bearing date of May 1, says regarding the final decision of the House concerning the Lord’s Day act of Canada: “The government just before it prorogued made its decision public through the Hon. W. Fulton, the attorney-general of British Columbia, in a few words, stating ‘that he would not indorse any prosecutions under the act.’ This completely nullifies the whole thing, as all its provisions are subject to his approval.”

The Idaho Legislature has recently passed a Sunday law. This leaves only the State of California and the Territory of Arizona, within the jurisdiction of the United States, without a Sunday law. In Liberty for the first quarter of this year, a map of the United States was published, representing in black or shading the States having Sunday laws, and in white the three States and Territories not having such laws. Since then one of these three has passed over the line. Soon, no doubt, the whole map can be painted black. The whole world is to be made to worship the beast.

The question of papal independence has been receiving some consideration in certain Catholic quarters of late. In “Our Roman Letter,” published in the Catholic Mirror of May 25, 1907, it is stated that certain “good Catholics” have suggested a plan to “organize in the United States the collecting of a huge sum of money wherewith to buy so much property reaching from the Vatican to the sea—but a good, wide stretch—and present it to the holy father.” It has been feared, however, “that the Italian government, through its ambassador, consular service, and friends in the United States, would inevitably get wind of the working out of the project, and nip it in the bud.”

Keene Academy Calendar

The Fourteenth Annual Calendar of the Keene Industrial Academy is now ready for distribution. The entire calendar has been rewritten this year, and conforms to the recommendations of the educational convention held at College View.

In addition to the regular academic course, advanced work is offered for those desiring it. The commercial course has been strengthened by the addition of more teaching force to that department. Spanish has been added to the curriculum. This is a step which the management feels to be especially

helpful, as the Southwestern Union Conference is carrying on missionary operations for the Spanish-speaking people in this field, which will afford students opportunity to supplement the work of the text-book by contact with those who speak the language as their mother tongue.

For copies of the calendar, or other information, address the principal of Keene Academy, Keene, Tex.

Wanted: An Organ for the School

Wanted

A SMALL organ for use in the school conducted by Brother and Sister D. T. Shireman at Toluca, N. C. The membership of this school is composed largely of orphans who are cared for here gratuitously. Any one having an organ which they could give to such an enterprise should correspond with Elder D. T. Shireman at the above address.

Nebraska State Camp-Meeting

By A. T. Robinson

THE date of the Nebraska camp-meeting has been changed from September 12-22, to one week earlier, September 5-15. Union College is to open September 18. The change of date for the camp-meeting has been made to enable Nebraska students to come direct from camp-meeting to the college. This is to be the largest and most important camp-meeting ever held in the State of Nebraska. The meeting will be held in Prospect Park, in the city of Hastings. The Nebraska Conference is preparing to remove its headquarters to that city, and it is hoped that we shall be nicely settled in our new conference home before the date of the camp-meeting.

A. T. ROBINSON, President.

Manitoba Camp-Meetings

By W. M. Adams

THERE will be two camp-meetings held in the Manitoba Conference this year, English and German. The English meeting will be held in Neepawa, July 2-7. The German meeting will be at Winnipeg, July 16-21.

It is hoped that these meetings will, with the work that is now being done by workers in each place to prepare the way, create interests to be followed up by series of tent-meetings. The camp-meetings will not be business meetings, but, we trust, spiritual revivals. To this end shall we not all pray and work, as well as attend the camp-meetings? Be on hand for the first meeting, and stay all through if possible. Bring some one with you. Both of these places may be reached by the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern Railroads. W. M. ADAMS, President.

Too Stringent

By W. A. C.

A SISTER in Canada, under date of May 8, referring to the Canadian Rational Sunday League, an organization recently started in that country to oppose the newly passed Canadian Sunday law in its widespread and “tyrannical” operation, as they style it, and the “religious persecution” which they say has, under the workings of the Lord’s Day Alliance, begun under it, writes us as follows:—

“This movement is significant. Some are beginning to see that the new Sunday law is too stringent, and a reaction is taking place. The railroad companies say the law is not practical, and they do not expect to obey it.

“The Canadian Rational Sunday League is fully indorsed by Goldwin Smith, which will give it considerable influence.

“We can see the hand of the Lord at work to bring the Sabbath question to the front in this field. I have not picked up a newspaper lately without finding one or two items about the Sunday law.” W. A. C.

Camp-Meeting in Baltimore, Md.

By Morris Lukens

We believe our brethren living in the District of Columbia, as well as the members of the Chesapeake Conference, will be pleased to learn that a camp-meeting is to be held in Baltimore, July 5-14. The camp will be located in a beautiful grove on the Belair Road, just outside the city limits.

We sincerely hope that all will avail themselves of this privilege, and plan to attend this meeting. We may confidently expect the Lord's blessing, for he himself has told us that these gatherings are in harmony with his will.

A dining tent will be on the ground, where six meal tickets will be sold for one dollar. Tents, cots, and lumber will be for rent at a reasonable price, so the expense will not be very heavy for any one.

MORRIS LUKENS, President Chesapeake Conf.
