  1. A CORRESPONDENT of the Independent quotes Rev. H. T. Miller, pastor of the Fifth Presbyterian Church, of Chicago, as follows upon the question of the Bible in the public schools: “The Bible is the most inflammable wood in the public schools. A Bibleless school is not necessary a godless school. The Church will attend to the religious work. The school is not the best place in which to teach the Bible. I say this though there is not a chapter or verse that is not written in gold in my heart and mind. The American people want fair play. Therefore take the Bible out and give the tax-payers their rights.”1 paragraphs
  2. Is There Nothing Selfish in This?Alonzo T. Jones30 paragraphs
  3. WHEN there are persons to be found, who form an exception to the apparent unanimity of the world on any subject, it is always probable that dissentients have something worth hearing to say for themselves, and that truth will lose something by their silence.—John Stuart Mill.1 paragraphs
  4. THE struggle for religious liberty was already begun when the Apostles Peter and John stood before the Jewish council of elders and rulers, and declared, “whether it be right, in the sight of God, to hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye; for we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.”—Early Struggles for Religious Liberty.1 paragraphs
  5. If the Protestants are not careful they will find the public schools Romanized to the entire satisfaction of the Vatican. Be satisfied with the family, church and Sunday school. If these will not preserve your religion, you are in a bad way. This agitation for the Bible in schools and religious teaching, are aids to the Roman conspiracy to capture and destroy the schools that teach American youth to think.—Loyal American.Loyal American1 paragraphs

  58. THE National View very properly thinks that “it is not the business of the public schools to give a complete education, or even an approximation thereto. If religion should be taught, it should be taught by the Church, where each can be represented in its own way, and where each can be cared for without interference from the other. The public school is the creature of the State, in this country, is inherently and distinctively republican. And hence all who agree in republican government must be supplied with an education that simply conforms therewith. And so the schools being creatures of the State, which is itself secular, must be of a secular character; and their secular character must not be tampered with or encroached upon by any religious body, Catholic or Protestant.1 paragraphs
  59. “No matter what some people may say or think,” says the Orleans Herald, “the American people will not permit the State or Nation to furnish their religion.”1 paragraphs
  60. ONE of the considerations urged in behalf of a “civil” Sunday law in California, is, that while one-fourth of the population are boys between sixteen and twenty-one years of age, only one per cent of these belong to any Christian church.1 paragraphs
  61. An Episcopal clergyman and editor, in an important Western city, writes: “I do what I can to circulate THE AMERICAN SENTINEL.” Of course his own paper is sound upon the question of Sunday legislation, the Bible and religion in the public schools, etc.1 paragraphs
  62. MINISTER VAN GOSSLER has introduced a bill into the Reichstag to secularize all schools of the German Empire, not only in instruction but in administration. German Catholics thought their sufferings ended with Bismarck’s removal, but it seems they were mistaken.1 paragraphs
  63. ACCORDING to statements made at the Philadelphia session of the Sabbath Union, the railroads are falling into line in behalf of better Sunday observance. “On the last week of November, the Philadelphia and Reading Road announced that they would cease to run coal trains on Sunday.” It was also stated that “some of the largest Trunk Lines are cutting down Sunday work, and would be willing to haul only perishable freight could an agreement be made with other roads.”1 paragraphs
  64. THE Watertown Sentinel comes to us from Watertown, South Dakota, filled with sound anti-National Reform matter, and asking an exchange, which we gladly grant. The organs of so-called National Reform are multiplying, and why should not the friends of religious liberty be fully awake to the danger, and fully prepared to meet it in every quarter?1 paragraphs
  65. IN his plea for the “civil Sabbath,” Mr. Crafts says: “Take the religion out and you take the rest out.” The New York Observer more candid and possibly less wise, says: “It is this ‘innocent recreation’ that destroys the idea of Sunday being a holy day.” And that is just the reason that the Observer and the religious press generally, demand the enforcement of Sunday keeping by “civil” law.1 paragraphs
  66. THE Philadelphia Sabbath Association utterly repudiates the so-called sanitary grounds of Sunday observance, and insists on a distinct recognition of Sunday as a Christian institution. It is offended with Dr. George Dana Boardman, for saying that they would make greater progress if they would look at the Sabbath from a sanitary standpoint. We must therefore understand that this Association, in demanding Sunday laws and their enforcement, is doing it from a purely religious standpoint.1 paragraphs
  67. The clergy of San Antonio of all denominations, headed by Bishop Johnston, are stirring up the people on the subject of the “desecration” of Sunday. They held a public meeting, and resolved to ask the Legislature to enact more rigorous laws.2 paragraphs

  69. THE “Pitcairn Souvenir,” the story of a missionary ship recently launched at San Francisco, for service on the Pacific Ocean, is a most interesting work and a triumph of the printer’s art. It is beautifully illustrated and is neatly printed on fine paper. The prices are 25 cents, 50 cents, and $1.00, according to binding. Orders should be addressed to International Sabbath-school Association, Oakland, California.1 paragraphs
