Missouri Turned InfideI.

Who would have thought the enlightened
State Of Missouri would have turned infdel?
Yes, the boosted "home Of the brave and land
of the free" has declared in favor OF infdeity by
making it highly criminal for the ministers Of
God to attempt to wait upon Him in their official
capacity before they bow 10 the shrine of State
and take the prescribed OATH The authority of
Christ is ignored His body, the Church, is
treated as a secular thing. The authority of the
Almighty is virtually denied. and that OF the
State made supreme. No being. in heaven or
earth, is to be honored before the State; that
stands above all that is called God, and demands
that humble ministers of the Cross shall make
their first bow TO il, This act surpasses the in
famous decree of Darius, in the DAYS Of Daniel.
That was binding for only thirty days, but tbs
for time unlimited. After the % day Of Sep
TENDER. 1865, no minister of God dare open his
mouth within the limits of the State till he sub
scribes 10 the constitutional oath! Other coun-
tries have established religion BY law, and made
the State subservient 10 il; Missouri has de
throned religion by Law. and made il subservent
to the State ST Louis Republican.
