  1. “A TEST,” says the Press, “is to be made in Erie County of the legal rights of doctors to advertise. The claim is set up that under an old statute they will thereby forfeit their diplomas. If such a law exists it is not in keeping with the spirit of the age. The physician whose study and experience have made him a specialist in any branch of surgical or medical science, so that he is able to treat the maladies of his fellow-men with greater skill than his fellow-physicians, should not be compelled by law to hide his light under a bushel. If he chooses to do so under the code of medical ethics, that is a matter for his own conscience. But the law should not be utilized to compel him not to advertise any more than to compel him to advertise. This is a free country.”2 paragraphs

  3. “GIVE us a day of rest!” cry the agitators. “Take a day of rest,” say we.—Colorado Graphic.1 paragraphs
  4. “THE sole end for which mankind are warranted, individually or collectively, in interfering with the liberty of action of any of their number, is self-protection.”1 paragraphs
  5. THE conclusion is inevitable that the line cannot be too strongly drawn between Church and State. If a solemn act of legislation shall, in one point, define the law of God, or point out to the citizen one religious duty, it may with equal propriety, proceed to define every part of divine revelation, and enforce every religious obligation, even to the forms and ceremonies of worship, the endowment of the Church and the support of the clergy.—Col. Richard M. Johnson.Col. Richard M. Johnson1 paragraphs

  23. A CONTRIBUTOR to Our Day says: “In Wyoming the State Sabbath Reform Association has been strengthened, and it hopes to restore the kidnapped Sabbath law which the last territorial Legislature suddenly repealed. In Utah, the State Association is also awakening to resist the boomerang against the Sabbath that is hidden in the ‘boom’ that comes with Gentile supremacy.”2 paragraphs
  24. A CORRESPONDENT of the Christian Union says that Bishop Whately reports that as late as the last generation, they deceived themselves by the sophism that “religious liberty was, by all means to be maintained, but not so with irreligious liberty.” But this need occasion no surprise when we consider that many of the present generation deceive themselves by the sophism that “while there should be absolute separation between Church and State, there should not be a separation of religion and the State.” The sophistry of one is as great as of the other.3 paragraphs
  25. Of the American Sabbath Union and its Philadelphia meeting, the Sabbath Recorder says:—3 paragraphs
  26. NOTE.— Any one receiving the AMERICAN SENTINEL without having ordered it may know that it is sent to him by some friend, unless plainly marked "Sample copy." It is our invariable rule to send out no papers without pay in advance, except by special arrangement, therefore, those who have not ordered the SENTINEL need have no fears that they will be asked to pay for it simply because they take it from the post-office.Editor1 paragraphs
  27. At the time of closing this paper, the case of R. M. King, the Tennessee Adventist, fined by a court of that State for common labor upon Sunday, has not yet been decided by the United States District Court, to which it was carried on writ of habeas corpus. Two weeks ago, we stated that Judge Hammond had decided that he had no jurisdiction in the matter, but this was, it seems, an error. We supposed at the time that our information was reliable, but the event proved otherwise.1 paragraphs
  28. REV. T. A. FERNLEY, D. D., is credited by a Philadelphia paper, with the statement, that in a recent conversation which he had with Mr. Blaine, that gentleman had said the World's Fair should be closed on Sunday for hygienic reasons and that the society couldn't do better than print the “Sermon on the Mount,” the best thing ever spoken, and scatter it broadcast. But so far as we are informed neither the Doctor nor the Secretary has explained the connection between the Sermon on the Mount and the Sunday closing of the World's Fair.1 paragraphs
  29. At a late meeting of the Board of Managers of the American Sabbath Union, resolutions of confidence in President Shepard’s management were passed. Arrangements were made for publishing a quarterly journal to be entitled the American Sabbath Union, and to bear the inscription “I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day,” under the editorial charge of the general Secretary, the Rev. J. H. Knowles, D. D., with the Rev. James P. Mills, district Secretary of the Sixth District, as assistant editor, residing at Chicago. Provisions were also made for the employment of an attorney at law for the prosecution of violators of the Sunday laws. A resolution was adopted protesting against any change in the Sunday laws of New Jersey, and the general Secretary was instructed to forward a copy of the same to the Legislature of that State, at Trenton.1 paragraphs
  30. In his address, at the Philadelphia meeting, the President of the American Sabbath Union criticised certain labor organizations for holding their meetings on Sunday. At these meetings, people were, he said, harangued by orators, who while denying the existence of a God, appeal for the God-given rights of the down-trodden toilers. If the Sabbath Union would organize, said he, to make the Sabbath known to these men, it would do a great work. “The mission work should be carried to them and to those precious walking delegates who go around making trouble. These busybodies would soon be out of work, and their organizations would crumble into dust if it were made possible to enforce Sunday observance.”1 paragraphs
  31. THE Philadelphia Sabbath Association, the oldest organization of its kind in this country, has frowned on General O. O. Howard and Dr. George Dana Boardman. At a recent meeting of the Association, John Alexander, a member, objected to the approval of the Secretary’s report in so far as it says “that Dr. Boardman and General Howard ably filled the bill with speeches,” at the American Sabbath Union anniversary, held in this city a few weeks ago. He said the doctrine enunciated by the two gentlemen was unsound, and he for one didn’t approve of it. He said it was wrong to have a meeting held at the First Baptist Church, because Dr. Boardman was not in sympathy with the Association’s ideas of the Sabbath. “General Howard’s speech was full of heresy,” Mr. Alexander said. “I think that was the most unfortunate meeting that I ever attended. I hope that the Board will never meet again in a church where the pastor is not in sympathy with us.” The report was amended and approved.1 paragraphs
  32. THERE are said to be twenty-eight associations, in California, working for the passage of a Sunday law in that State.1 paragraphs
  33. THE AMERICAN SENTINEL.10 paragraphs
