Idol Worship in the United States.

The Supreme Court of California has de-
cided that idol-worship is not forbidden 10y
the Constitution, i'll the case of Eldrige vs..
The See Yup Company, wherein the plaintiff
attempted to get possession of an Asylum
erectedb by the Chinese Company. The plain
tiff averred that the Trusteeship under which
the Company held was void, because the
building was erected for the purpose ofbeing
used partly for idol worship. The Supreme
Court sayS:-"There is no force in theo3Jec,
ton, that a trust. created for the purpose OF
idol-worship. is void. Under our Constitu,
ton. all men are permitted the free exercise
of their religious opinion, provided it does
not involve the commission off, public offence,
nor can any distinction he made in law be
tween the Christian or Jew, Mahomedan o'
heather. The Court have no power to &c
tcrmine that this or that form OF religious
snperstitious worship-unaccompanied by act'
prohibited by LAWS against public policy
