Lecture Dllvered In this City Last
Week on the Question.
Prof. Morrison, who is lecturing
in the' interests of the National
Religious Liberty association of
New York, held his closing lecture
at the court house in this city
Saturday night. The first lecture
was opened with the National
Hymn:
"My country 'tis of thee,
Sweet land of liberty."
Among other remarks the speak
er said that he was not there to
lessen anyone's regard for religion,
the Sabbath or the Bible, as he was
a believer in these himself, nor to
speak against any of the public
institutions of our country but to
sneak in favor of keeping the con
stitution of the United states as it
is so far as religion is concerned,
and to warn the people of the
thraldom that the proposed union
of religion and state would bring.
We" are proud to call America the
Land of liberty : and the Btars and
stripes wherever they float on sea
or on land are hailed as the em
blem of the free. Many a Boldier
has bled and many a standard
bearer fallen in their efforts to
keep the country free, and the en
emy from tearing the stars and
strijiesfrom the heavens which
they enrich ; and the same patriot-
J .... .. 1 i
isiu still lingerea in ute uoeouia oi
many. The greatest principle of
liberty in this country is liberty
in matters 01 religion uom m
practice, and in the pulpit and
press ; and the one great, reason
why our forefathers left the Old
World for this was for lilerty of
conscience and religion. As stated
by Patrick Henry m a speech de
fending three baptist ministers
brought to trial for preaching the
gospel in Colonial times: "uur
lathers leit the laim oi uit-ir na
tivity for settlement in these
American wilds, for liberty, for
civil and religious liberty, lor
ibertv of conscience, to worship
their Creator according to their
conception of Heaven's revealed
will. They placed their feet on
the American continent, and in
the deeply imbedded forests sought
m asyiuia uoiu persecution ami
tvrannv. Heaven decreed thu
man should be irec, free to worship
God according to the Bible. Were
it not for this, in vain have been
the efforts and sacrifices of the
colonists, in vain were all their
sufferings and bloodshed to sub
jugate this new world, if we, their
offspring, must still be oppressed
and persecuted." And Mrs.
Heinans, England's greatest poet
ess says of the Pilgrims who came
over ih the Mayflower :
"What sought they thus afar?
Bright jewels of the mine,
The wealth of eea, the spoils of
war?
They sought a faith's pure shrine.
Ah, call it hbly ground 1
The spot where they trod ;
The've left unstained what there
they found '
Freedom to worship God."
The Pilgrims settled at Plymouth
and allowed everyone else the
same lilerty that they claimed for
themselves: But the Puritans
who settled in Boston and the
Church of England in Virginia
denied to others who came the
right to the freedom in religion
that they claimed for themselves.
Here the speaker read from the
"History of the Emancipation of
Massachusetts", how that under
the Puritan Commonwealth the
Baptists were whipped and impri
soned, and Roger Williams driven
out among the indians; and the
Quakers were tortured and con
demned to die if they returned to
the settlement; four of them being
hung. He said that this was an
illustration of what Senator Hous
ton in 185:5 said to a delegation of
ministers, to secure the enactment
of a Sunday and prohibition law :
"History teaches us that men
composing all denominations of
religious taith, when clothed with
ecclesiastical and temporal power
combined, have been tyrants."
And of Buckle in his "History of
Civilization in England:" Protest
ants, generally, are too apt to
suppose that t here is something in
their creed which protects the in
against hurtful extravagances
which have been, and, to a certain
extent, still arc practiced in the
Catholic Church. Never was a
iii-eater mistake. There is but one
protection against the tyranny of
any class, and that is to give that
class very little power. Whatever
the pretentions of anv lxidy of
men may be, however smoothe
their language, and however plaus
ible their claims, they are sure to
abuse power if much of it is con
f erred upon them. Tho entire
historv oi the world affords no
instance to the contrary."
Seeina the effect of a union of
religion with the state in this
country as well as in the Old, the
founders of this government put
in the yory preamble of the De
claration of lndependor.ee these
words: "We bold these truths to
be self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are endow
ed by their Creator with certain
unalienable rights; that among
these are life and liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness;" and in the
first amendment to the Constitu
tion, these words : Congress shall
make no law resiiecting an estal-
lishmcnt of religion, or prohibiting
the free exercise thereof."
Savs Judge Joseph Story, who is
called "The authoritive expound
er of the American Constiution"
in his explanation of the Constitu
tional Guarantee of Religious
Liberty : It thus sought to cut off
. i r l - ' , 1 1
tne means 01 rengiotiB pereecuuun
(the vice and pest of former ages),
and the power of subverting the
ricrhts of conscience in mattere of
relijrion. which have leen tram
pled upon almost from the days of
the apostles to the present age
Saul the United States Senate in
its report in 1829, when petitioned
to make certain laws in reference
to the Sabbath : "Among all the
religious persecutions with which
almost every page of modern his
torv is stained no victim ever
suffered but for the violation of
what government denominated
the law of God. To prevent a
similar train of evils in this coun
try, the Constitution has wisely
withheld from our Government
the power of defining the divine
law."
There is organized in this
country what is called the
National Reform Association,
whose avowed object as stated in
the resolutions passed at their
conventions, and in' their papers
and published reports of those
conventions, which I hold in my
hand, is to secure "Such a rehg
' . ...... ft
lous amendment to tne tjonst:-
tution of the United States as will
indicate that this is a Christian
nation, and place all our Christian
laws institutions and usages on tn
undeniable legal basis in the very
Charter of the Government." If
they gain their object and have all
their Christian laws put into the
civil law on an "undeniable legal
hiiHiH thr-v will be there to.be
oleved, and if any do not believe
in Christianity or believe differ
ently from the- f Christian laws"
as written in the civil law, and
break them, an officer will be sent
to fine or imprison thera. ' I fancy
I hear some one saying: "Intelli
gent Christian people in this en
lightened age would not treat
honest people in that way for
holding different religious views
from the established state religion,
and paying no attention its estab
lished religious observances." 'lt
the National Iteiorin Association
say what thc-y intend to tlo with
such people. I quote from Rev.
M. A. GauK district secretary of
the National Reform Association.
and field secretary of the America: n
Sabbath Union, He saye; "Ore
remedy for all tnesc maiihc in
fluences is to have the government
simply set up the moral law, tnd
it, and lay its hand on any religion
that does not conform" to it" " tpd
again from Rev. Johnathan Ed
wards, D. D. in an address beiore
a National Reform. Convention
held in New York. ;; He'.menticra
the atheist, deist, Jcwe, and
seventh-day Baptists, then claesea
them all together thus: "Thse
are all for the occasion and -so far
as our amendment" is concerned
one class. . They nee the sf.me
arguments and the same tactics
against us. They, must be counted
together. The firet "'named the"
atheist is the leader in the discon
tent and in the outcry. It is his
class. The rest are adjuncts to
him in this contest. They must
be named from him. They must
be treated, as for this question,
one party." Then he tells what
they will do with this class when
they get their religion inc-ojoraUd
in the civil' law. He says:
"What are the rights of the.
atheist? I would tolerate him as I
would a poor, lunatic. I would
tolerate him as I would a e'onspir
ator. The atheist is a dangerous
man.
Tolerate atheism, sir ! There ia
nothing out of hell I would rot
tolerate as soon. Atheism and
Christianity are contradict oiy
terms. Tbey are incompatible
systems. They cannot dwell to
gether on the same continent.
If they cannot be allowed to dwtll
on the same contine-nt with
Christians what can the Jev.n,
atheist, . deist, and Seventlwu-y
Baptist do? Let a vice president
of the National Reform Association
Rev. E. B. Graham answer. - ije
says in the Christian Statesm: n,
the official organ of thisasf m-iatitii :
"We might add in all justice, if
the opponents oi the Bible do rot
like our government and its
Christian features, let them go U
some wild, desolate land, ami in
the name of the elevil, and for : 1 e
sake of the devil, subdue ii, and
set up a government of thtir o n
