602 and 604 Levee cor. Milam, SHREVEP0RT, LA. At llic 1'iiHt ItuptiMt Church Sunday, March 5, have been seen upholding the thrones of political tyranny; in no instance have they been seen the guardians of the liberties of the people." Our own distinguished divine, statesman and scholar, Dr. J.jL. M.

Currey. has said, "Liberty of worship was not regarded by the framers of our government as derivative from civil power, nor as a concession or boon of political generosity, but as a right inherent in the personality of the individual conscience. Government is a political organism and it is the essence of American liberty, that the government should be entirely separate from the churches and religious denominations." By some this is called a Christian nation, but it is a misnomer. It is true that the president issues a proclamation evers vear. settine apart a dav for Na- KANSAS LEGISLATION.

An Inflection Law Alined ut Democrat h. To pick March 11. The House hint night passed the Semite legislative appropriation bill, which provided for the payment of the late Dunemore houso employes. Twenfy-tbree lie-publicans voted for the bill with the Populists. The Senate announced that unless the House passed this bill, that no further appropriation of any iharacter would be passed, thus threatening to lie ud a number of State institutions.

This brought the Republicans to time. Iho Australian ballot bill, as amended by the lloue, passed tho Senate to-day. The amendment is particularly objectionable to Democrats, as it prohibits tbe appointment of judges of elections from any party which "fused" with another party at the next preceding election. This practically prohibits Democrats from acting on election boards at the next election. tional Thankfgiving, and on our silver' Hei Bros Dry Ms LIMITED.

Do you ask me, my countrymen, whether there ii any danger of our free institutions bein subsidized to religious sectarian propagandism? 1 believe there is danger of such a thing, because our peo-pleare asleep or indifferent to the insidious influence of that foreign, politico-religious organization which has always branded "liberty of conscience" as a "most pestilential error." 1 no longer fear Protestant faiths.

One after another they have discovered the great fact that the kingdom of truth needs not the prop and support of the state to fulfill its mission. There mav be a lew who still long after a star chamber, and who, with unchristian and intolerant zeal, would kindle again the fires of Smithlield and Oxford, but they are few. I fear rather, if there be reason for fear, that hierarchy, whose past history, stained with the blood of the saints, has been made possible through the bayonets and decrees of Cicsar; and whose utterances have been uniformly in favor of the union of the spiritual and temporal powers. May we not dread the kiss of Rome? May we not fear when she begins to make concessions to our A en-man ideas? The -utterances of a few American Catholic prelates would start the hope, that even Rome has caught step with the onmarching tread of freedom's legions, but 1 ask myself the question, if freedom of conscience if ifood for America, why is it not a good thing for Spain ami Austria, Brazil and Mexico. Such views as I Lave expressed in this sermon may seem strange to the ears of some, as coming from the Hps of a Christian minister.

They arc, however, by no means new to my convictions. 1 have given utterance to principles which have been held by the great denomination to which I belong by deepest convictions, from time immemorial a denomination that has suffered more than any other Christians from the unhallowed union of church and state a denomination of whom I am humbly proud to say, that they have shed rivers of their own buiod in their devotion to these, great principles, but who never in any degree persecuted any one on account of a difference of religious belief or practice a denomination which 'has ever believed and taught that the kingdom of ChriBt is not of this world that it is a spiritual kingdom that it needs nor the enactment of human laws, nor the support of human governments for the accomplishment of its God-given mission in this sinful world that it is fully and completely equipped for the reduction of this world spiritually to the dominion of Him, who said to Peter. "Put up thy sword iuto he sheath;" that the union of church and state is a disadvantage to both, that is weakening to the one and a source of division and strife to the constituents of the other; to compel men to be religious is to make liars and hypocrites of those whom we would save. To the end, that our people of this favored land, may perpetuate the priceless liberties which we enjoy, let each one of us use what influence he possesses towards the adoption of the amendment to the constitution of the United States, which has been formulated and prepared by "The National League for the protection of American Institutions," which reads as iollows: "No State shall pass any law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof, or use its property or credit, or any money raised by taxation, or authorize either to be used for tho purpose of founding, maintaining or aiding, by appropriation, payment for services, expenses, or otherwise, any church, religious denomina ion or religious society, or any institution, society or undertaking which is wlioly, or in part, under sectarian or ecclesiastical control." ust before the war, was ordered to transfer guns from Alleghany arsenal THE HICKS COMPANY, L'mtd. WHQLESALE the South, the order caused in tense excitement and a mob took possession of the boat and prevented the guns from being removed.

On this Bame boat Capt. McMillin ran the Grocers and Cotton Factors "Then saith He unto them, render therefore, unto f'ifsar the thinns which are Ciisar's, anil Onto Ood the things that are Hod's." Matthew 22; 21. Three hundred years ago the doctrine of religious freedom was not recognized by any civil government in the woild, and today ours is the only country on earth where the church is theoretically divorced from the Stale; I wish 1 could say absolutely. Bancroft in his history of the United States, says that Roger Williams "was the lirst in modern Christendom to assert in its plentitude the doctrine of liberty of conscience, the equality of opinions before the law, and, in its defense he was the harbinger of Milton, toe precursor and superior of Jeremy Taylor." In this he was mistaken. In the beginning of the seventeenth century this doctrine, long pent up in the hearts of some who liad a clearer vision of the spiritual nature of Christianity than others, began to struggle for utterance, and was thrown out on the current of the world's thought.

What had been whispered in the valley of Peidmont, in the forest of Germany, and amid the bogs and fens of the Netherlands through many years of bitter persecutions by a Stata church, now began to be published on the house tops. Men said. "Conscience should be free, men will love each other better, if each is permitted to worship God in his own way. Let every man be subject to civil government in all civil matters, but let every man render to the Creator such homage, and such only, as he believes to be acceptable to Him." The tiret public confession of faith in all the ages asserting the right of all men to religious liberty, was published by a convention of liaptiBts in England in Hill. In the year 10U a treatise on religious freedom was published by Leonard Pusher, entitled "Religious Peace, a Plea for Liberty of Conscience." This was the earilest published work in the Knglish language on this subject.

Another treatise was published by the same author in 1015 entitled "Persecution for Religion, Judged and Condemned." In 1020 a tract was published emitled, "A Most Humble Supplication of Many of the King's Majesty's Loyal Subjects Ready to Testify all Civil Obedience by the Oath of Allegiance or Otherwise, and that of Conscience, who are Persecuted (Only for Difference in Religion) Contrary to Divine and Human Testimonies." This book was written in prison by a man who was denied the use of pen. ink and paper. It was written with milk on paper that formed the stopples of his milk bottles, and was made legible by holding the paper to the lire. It is true that Rl, Williams established the lirst State, se constitution guaranteed perfect sot freedom to all men. At that time, ou: vie of Rhode Island there was not a l'o of habitable earth, where all men of every shade of religious belief could, without molestation, worship frcii according to the dictate? of their own aoiiEKMt-nces.

The teachings of Jesus Christ were, therefore unto Casar the things which are Osar's, and unto God the things that are God's." The doctrine of the may be expressed in the words of Paul: "Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he statideth or falleth." The doctrine of 115 and 117 Texas Shreveport, La blockade established by the Confederates above Vicksburg and carried provisions to Gen. Grant. His boat had a dollar is the inscription "In God we Trust." Congress has its appointed chaplains, and our Legislatures are opened with prayer. In our public schools the Ilible is read, and oaths are administered in our courts of law and men kiss the Hible in conlirmation thereof, but does all this prove that ours is a Christian nature Uy no means. These are mere anomalies contrary to the Bpirit as well as the theory of our constitutions.

The organic law of this country says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an established religion, or the free exercise thereof." it further says that "no religious test shall ever be required as a qualilieation to any otlice or public trust under the Tinted Stutes." If, therefore, any customs that belong ex' clusively to the Christian religion have grown up in the practical workings of our government, they are parosites, and there is danger that these parasitical plants will greatly enfeeble, if they do not destroy, the supporting tree. If we were a Christian nation then the Christian religion would be the established religion. As no religion is prefcred by the laws of our land, but, on the contrary, positively prohibited, ours cannot be called a Christian nation. 1 am afraid, if the truth were known, we are really not entitled to be called a Christian people. Perhaps the majority of our people are nominal')' but the true and faithful followers of Him who said: "My kingdom is not of this world," are in the minority in this land, if we are not a Christian people, it is our greatest misfortune, but we will not despair, when we remember that the founder of the Christian religion insisted that He came into this world to make men free, by revealing to them the truth, through which alone they will perceive right relations and cease to oppress each otiier.

That we are not nearly as free in fact as in the theory of our government, is due to the fact that we do not know and Teel the truth sufficiently to enable us to do unto others as we would have others do unto us. But if we are not a Christian nation, ought we to try to be? I would say, no, a thousand times, no. To my mind, it would be a most lamentable thing. To attempt it would be to destroy American liberty, and to substitute forit the tyranny of a religious inquisition to turn back the pointers on the dial-plate of the progress of the human race towards the fuli and complete revelatipn and realization of the truth, which to know is essential freedom, to do this would be to repeat the mistakes of the past to destroy the hopes of the future, and to retard the triumphs of the truth. No, let us rather set about trying to get rid of the semblance of a thing, which does not really exist, but which might be made possible through the encroachments of those parasitical customs, which designing and diBsatistield religionists might turn to such an end.

Let us rather try to adjust the practice of our government to the genius of our Warehouses Corner Spring and Travis and Travis anf arrow escape from destruction and won great praise from Gen.

The doctrine of Roger Williams was, that liberty of conscience is every man's inalienable birthright and privilege; and that it is an execrable tyranny and a presumptuous interference with the prerogative of God Himself for any man to coerce the conscience of another, whether that tyranny be exercised by pope or prelate, by president or king! How wonderful the change which two centuries have wrought in all protestant Christendom, and especially in our own land, both in theory and in practice, in relation to the rights of conscience.
