WAR UPON TIE BIBLE, LIBERTY OF

''ris difficult for any ono breathing the air
nffrccdom and living beneath the shadow Of
Political Institutions which were organized
for tho preservation of Civil Rights to discuss
with stoical calmness the Principles which
suspend those rights, even momcntariy; far
more painful is it to trace step by step the
operations of a system which aims at the
overthrow of the established forms of all
Religious Frcedom whilst it cndcavors to
employ the means of government toward that
end. In my last paper, stated that the first
attack ever made upon the freedom of con-
science in this country, since the adoption
of the Federal Constitution, occurred in st.
Mary's Church, (Philadelphia,) in the year
1921.
1t is not easy at the present day to describe
the effect of the riots of 1921 upon the Prot
cstant population Of that city. Beneath the
broad agis of the constitution of Pennsyl-
vania, each sect had pressed forward the

ardor which was proportioncd to the zeal,
rather than their ability. In this great worl,

the Methodist, however differing in the prin.

churches, rivalled each other. The dark
cloud of persecution, which had ovcrshadow-

WHY THERE IS NO RAIN IN PERU--ln
Peru, South America. rain is unknown. The
coast of Peru is within the region of perpet-
ual southeast trade winds. Though the Peru
Wan shores are on the verge of the great
South Sea border. yet it never rains there.
The reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike the
water on the coast of Africa. Travelling to
the northwest. blow ohliquely across the
ocean until they reach the coast of Brazil.
By this time they are heavily laden with va
por, which they continue to bear along across
the continent, depositing it as they 60. and
supplying with it the sources of the Rio de
la Plata and the southern tributaries of the
Amazon Finally they reach the snow-cap-
ped Andes. and hero IS wrung from them the
last particle Of moisture that the very low
temperate can extract. Reaching the sum-
init of that range. they now tumble down as
cool and dry winds on the Pacific slopes be-
yond. Meeting with no evaporating surface,
and with no temperature colder than that to
which they were subjected to on the noun
tain tops, they reach the ocean before they
become charged with fresh vapor and before.
therefore, they have any which the Peruvian
climate can extract.
